Creative Spirits Seek Expression Through Laughter A never-ending calendar of events characterized the weeks and months at AC during 76-77. Strategy plus was a key factor in planning activities. Aside from the annual hayrides, plays, skat¬ ing parties and pep rallies which filled many evenings, the Student Activities Department (SAD) was instrumental in developing school events throughout the year. In an effort to stimulate student involvement SAD introduced Hewey Packard - the wizard of computer dating - to the student body. Participants were scientifi¬ cally matched with persons of similar interests and personalities and were given special preference at activities on computer date weekend. 28

New Arrivals Adapt to AC Life Nature’s season of rebirth is spring, yet here at Anderson Col¬ lege new life comes with the fall. The arrival of the students, old and new, stirred the campus from summer’s near idleness to the heightened activity of autumn and the new semester. In the spotlight were those activities which con¬ stituted orientation for new stu¬ dents. Group meetings, faculty and staff conferences, receptions, the Labor Day lawn picnic, and ever popular Freshman Hike offered opportunities for each per¬ son to get acquainted with college life. Unlike many colleges nation¬ wide, A.C. had no problem with sagging attendance this year. Bulging suitcases reflected the crowded living conditions as stu¬ dents discovered home meant a lounge in Co-ed dorm or a room shared with three other people. Meal time assured you plenty of time to make a new friend while waiting in lines that seemed infi¬ nite. All in all, it was a crowded - but unique - beginning to a new year. 27 r I
