o rientation SIMMER MONTHS HAVE FLOWN and it ' s time once more for books, classes, and football. Orientation leaders have re- turned early to carry out the program begun by Dave Strawn. Student Director, and Dean Boldt. Faculty Advisor. Aid- ing these persons were Harry Mahon, Bruce Bechard. and Don Allen, assist- ant directors : Bill Trickel and John Totty. technical co-ordinator and assist- ant: and Pat lowers, office co-ordinator. By the time orientation week was over the Asian flu bug h ad found its way to Florida. It started with the football team, forced the cancellation of the t CLA game, and then hit the general student body. Students catching the flu early were lucky enough to occupy the numerous infirmary beds. Later cases were forced to bed down in the gym. One consoling thought: all started out the semester behind in studies and ahead in class cuts. Empty beds in the Infirmary are a mute te ti- mony that earlier in the year the flu was here. Dave Strawn. Student Director of Orientation, orients orienta- tion leaders Sunday afternoon before the freshman week began. It is organized confusion as Dave Strawn. orientation lenders, and freshmen get together for the first time on Monday morning. Faculty Director of Orientation Dean Boldt looks pleased as he discusses the program with Dave Strawn. 27
