Every student, in one way or another, is influenced by the unique atmosphere found on this campus. It ' s the experience of get- ting on a bus and not being exactly sure of your destination. It ' s the waiting in the long lines at Drop Add at the beginning of each quarter. It ' s the walking into a class on the first day and ten minutes later realizing it ' s the wrong one. It ' s the experience of the first football game of the seasoa and hear- ing 80,000 screaming fans. Not only does this campus play a major role in the lives of each of its students, but students are truly an important Accent of Georgia. FEATURES 1

J Excitement filled the air as thousands of freshmen poured into Athens from all over the country during the summer. Prospective stu- dents and their parents pulled into the Brumby parking lot to experience the adventure of orientation. All of the freshmen and many of the parents were filled with excitement and anxiety unsure of what they were be- ginning. After a preview in the Tate Stu- dent Center, the students attended confer- ences on financial aid, meal services, campus organizations, and academics. After hours of questions and answers, the fresh- men engaged in activities to meet their peers and quickly made many new ac- quaintances. The orientation leaders treated their followers to a pizza party and then gave them the real scoop on college life. The students listened to learn about helpful bits of information that would make their tran- sition in the fall a little easier. The hectic first day drew to a close, and the freshmen tore off in different directions. Some took the opportunity to get a first taste of the Athens club scene, some hung around the Brumby lobby to find a date to the first football game, and others barely made it back to their rooms in time to drop from exhaustion. No matter where they were or what they were doing, each and every one of them felt overwhelmed, and they were all excited about registration ' s outcome. Day two of orientation brought new stu- dent I.D.s, campus tours, and registration. After receiving their schedule cards, every- one said good-bye to their new friends and the campus knowing that in a few short weeks this would be home. It was two informative days filled with tests, semi- nars and tours around campus that left everyone anxious for fall quarter ' s arriv- Being an orientation ' leader was a dream come true. It was a summer filled with excitement and energy, while also being fun, rewarding and beneficial. Orienta- tion was an experience that I wiJl always re- member. 99 Lane K pton FEATURES 13
