JUST BEGINNING TO FILL, the gym is the setting for registration each semester. During the day, the floor becomes more and more chaotic as students attempt to schedule around closed courses. Freshmen especial- ly face the frustration of being number 31 on a class list of 30. Paula Brooks, Joan Wheeler, Daniel Martens

at deal of this confidence to orientation, an initia- gram that gave us an idea of expect from the year. Stress- otal college experience, the Personnel Department help- ts understand the adjust- ften required. r being greeted by President y and SGO leader Dave De- , we students were divided into small groups and taken on a tour of the campus. Each group was assigned a sophomore orientation leader who explained school policies and answered questions. Later we were given a chance to meet with our faculty advisors. As a result, those of us who attended orienta- tion, came to college filled with a better knowlege of what was happen- IP I WAS SCARED. As a freshman, sopho- more Lisa Pennell had found her first few days confusingi So when she heard that orientation leaders were needed, she volun- teered to help. Wearing a red shirt stamped with our 25th anniversary logo, Lisa aquaint- ed new students with the school. Leading tours and answering questions, she told them everything I could think of to make their first days easier. FREE HOTDOGS and ice cream are just two of the day's surprises for Darcus Parker. Before coming to orientation, she expected mass confusion. Instead, she found everyone warm, friendly, and quite outgoing. Orientation 1 13

q. +-' v Everyone who ever registered told us stories of long lines and filled class- es, of paperwork and more paperwork They had plenty to say, and not much of it was good. As a result, most of us freshmen were a little worried when we went to make out our schedules. We knew that sophomores traditional- ly got earlier times, and we wondered if there would be anything left for us. Students were everywhere, stretch- ed on the floor in concentration, plead- ing with teachers and filling out the final papers before going home. How- ever, although there were frustrated faces and cries of but it's the only timel can lititin, most of us managed to get ir1to courses, even if they weren't exactly what we wanted.
