Orientation Week Augustana greeted its freshmen this year, as in the past, with varied programs, games, and good times to help the newcomers get over the first feeiings of homesickness and to adjust to the changes of college life. Thursday, August 30, was the big day, as orientation week kicked off with the Opening Convocation in Centennial Hall. Foiiowing words from President Tredway and Dean Sundelius, the freshmen met for the first time with their orientation groups in Carver P.E. Center. The orientation leaders put their peers at ease and the distribution of beanies left the freshmen truly in the spirit of Augie tradition and beanie raids to come. A picnic on the Westerlin lawn set the stage for the evening activities which started off with the mandatory read- ing tests and ended with a bonfire at the Slough. The freshmen finally returned to their rooms and had a chance to get to know their roommates and neighbors. Friday morning put the freshmen into the swing of things with language proficiency tests first thing and music auditions all after- noon. Dinner that night at the faculty advisors' homes gave the freshmen one more chance at home cooking before settling down to a year of dorm food. The bonfire at the Slough was an opportunity to relax with new-inund friends. President Tredway welcomes a freshman to the 30- nanza Dinner at his home. Despite the wait in line, one highlight of orientation Week was the Bonanza Dinner at President Tred- way's. 14 Orientation

Closed classes, changed instructors, and the confusion of registration left most of the freshmen exhausted, but the Theater Department's presentation of You know I Can't Hear You When the Water's Running was a we1corne conclusion to the day's activities. Sunday was the first time to realiy t take it easy, and many freshmen at- tended the Faculty Specialities, presen- t tations by members of the faculty to acquaint students with the Quad City area and Its history. Dinner Sunday 1 evening at President Tredway's was fol- ' lowed by the movie Bless the Beasts and the Children in Centennial HaH which gave the freshmen a chance to I mingle and find new friends. Orienta- l tion week ended on a cheery note, as most of the freshmen trooped to Cen- tennial Hal1 on Monday to see the Ori- entation Leader's talent show complete with a salute to King Tred and My Sharona. The week was a successful one, and by the start of classes on Tues- day, the freshmen were willing and able to dig right in to college life.
