Getting Acquainted By Laura Collins The beginning of the school year brought many different activities for students to participate in, many of which were sponsored by the Student Senate. The main purpose of these activities is to help the students adapt. Shellie See- man, admissions counselor and Stu¬ dent Senate adviser, said, “It’s a transi¬ tion time in which students are learning to be away from home, make new friends, etc. It is also critical that these students feel comfortable in their new environment.” Concerts, picnics, wind surfing, banana split night, and a watermelon feed were just some of the back-to- school activities held at BCCC. Four dances helped to kick off the new year. Line I, Phase Four, and disc jockeys Corey Hannah, Rock Island, Ill. sophomore, and Kenny Gaston, Chicago sophomore, helped get the year off to a good start. In addition to these activities, BCCC held a “Playfair” for the first time. A guest speaker, J. J. Cochran, separated the students into small groups to allow them to get acquainted with other students. The groups then performed several different activities and set a time and a place to meet again. The Playfair was to be an icebreaker to help students meet and mingle with others. Mary Misegadis, dean of stu¬ dent affairs, said, “The playfair was an outstanding success. We were really pleased with the results. The response from the students was so positive that we intend to do it again next year.” Shannon Waggoner, Manhattan freshman, takes part in a watermelon feed held to help instructors and students get acquainted.
