Tm T 7 don't know what I'd do without those girls in the blue t-shirts. A freshman's father Frankly, a lot of people wouldn't know what to do without Orientation leaders. For one thing, the new students would have to unload their cars by them- selves. There would be no ice cream social, no cam- pus tour guides, and Dean Kerr would have to teach Violent Love to the new students. The hard work and FUN began August 23 for the Orientation leaders. During the two-day workshop that preceded orientation, the leaders were taught new games, learned about the psychological as- pects of Orientation and strategies of handling a group of new students. On August 25, the new students arrived. Around 11:00 a.m. it began to rain, but it didn't dampen the spirits of the orientation leaders: they continued to bring stereos, teddy bears, and clothes to dry safety. The leaders' job of helping out didn't stop after the big move-in: they were always around to help answer questions, lead campus tours, and participate in games. Basically ori- entation leaders are around to help make the transi- tion from leaving home and going to college a little more bearable. Fortunately, the only activity planned during Ori- entation was not unloading cars. The Orientation Committee, composed of four students, Cathy Jea- kle, and Dean Kerr, planned a great variety of activi- ties. Some of the planned events were an ice cream- goodbye party for the parents, entertainment by the leaders and committee in Tillett, a city tour, a picnic at Park Road Park, a Charlotte O's Baseball game, a movie at the Cinema and Drafthouse, and an unfor- gettable trip to Carowinds. Overall, Orientation '83 was a success. The mon- ey and effort put into Orientation really showed this year. said Leader Tammy Breneman. It was an im- provement over past orientations, which is a good sign for the future. Maybe the enrollment will grow. — Allison Lyon ABOVE: A turtle always adds “snap to a dorm room according to Cathr Poral.
