A ' Pr j e ' of (Pur ©uin uring the year, it was evident that many people from the surrounding communit ies had a different view of Chaffey than we who attended here. Many knew Chaffey because of its size. They apparently thought that because the campus was large, a hardship was created for the students. If Chaffey was mentioned to an outsider, a look of hor- ror overcame them as they.asked, But how do you manage to get from one class to another? Granted the campus was big, and it did span 62 acres. Students, however, got used to it very quickly. After a while we didn ' t notice how large our school was, but rather how small others were. Another comment people made was that Chaffey had so many people that it was probably very impersonal. Chaffey was many things, but impersonal? Never. Teri Fitzgerald ' s philosophy expressed the optimistic view of many students. I look at it this way, she said, there are more people at Chaffey, so you have more friends! Also this past year the enrollment ac- tually decreased to three thousand two hundred — the least we ' d had in years and five hundred less than last year. This decrease in enrollment showed up in many ways, one was the number of students evident at lunch time. The population of South Quad at lunch had dwindled significantly. Many people were also convinced that anyone attending Chaffey was in fear of his or her very life. Visions of riots and overall violence flashed in their minds. And it wasn ' t hard to see how people got the impressions they did. Many opi- nions were influenced by senseless rumors and misinformed individuals. These people merely had a different perspective because they were on the outside looking in. What the outsiders didn ' t see were the many positive aspects of Chaffey such as the many clubs and organizations on campus and a student body which was truly unique. The fact that the school was big made it all the more unique. Chaffey was made up of- such a wide variety of people that it was a very in- teresting place to be. So although many people saw Chaffey as a big, imper- sonal, and generally violent school, we knew better. 3 ' .l-..:tJ..«.rt(iC li [ ▲ Freshman Orientation gives incoming students a preview of what is in store for them.
