THOSE NOTORIOUS BEANIES! Barnard ' s incoming freshman class was the largest in the history of the school, representing a 16% increase over last year ' s alone. From the start it was obvious that these students would be a pleasant surprise. Most arrived on or before appointed check-in time and appeared eager to begin their lives at Barnard. Likewise most were very receptive to the Orientation program, another difference from some past years. This year less emphasis was put on the big events, thus making room for more variety. As one freshman happily remarked, There were so many events, I hardly knew which to go to! Ac- ademic counseling was also given a place in the program. There were speakers from nearly every department to aid interested freshmen. Revived from previous years were the all time favorites: tickets to the Forest Hills Tennis Tournament, theater tickets, a midnight cruise around Manhat- ten, and of course the Cabaret. The most notori- ous innovation was the reintroduction of beanies. Once a tradition at Columbia, this was a first for Barnard. Beanies, the highlight of Orientation ' 77 met with overwhelming, if mixed responses. The major objection raised by freshmen and students at other Ivies was that these adorable little blue hats marked with the student ' s class year were demeaning. The majority of people, how- ever, found the idea intriguing, as evidenced by the incredible amount of newscoverage received. Nearly every local TV station, as well as the New York Times and the Daily News, covered the story. On one station a shot of a dog in a beanie was shown to prove that indeed everyone was wearing them. This year ' s Orientation program seemed to have achieved a perfect balance between academ- ics and activities so that the transition to school work at the beginning of the semester went more smoothly. Gone were the students so sick of ac- tivities that they longed for academics, and gone were the students so unprepared for and afraid of academics that they lived in dread of them. In- stead incoming freshmen learned that such a ba- lance can and does exist, which is what Orienta- tion is all about. C.T.
