They're Here Freshman Move In Although it was probably cooler to wait until mid-morning, most freshmen ar- rived on DePauw's campus bright and early Saturday, August 23rd. After all , this was a BIG clay tmoving away from home and alb and besides, the first roommate gets the best bed, the best closet, and the best side of the room. As each freshman drove up with his or her parents, an upperclassman Orientation Leader appeared eager to help, at least until he saw how much luggage needed to be carried up, invariably, to the third or fourth floor. So, after what seemed to be about 20 trips, most freshmen were comfortably settled in their new homes, be it the Quad, BR, or Longden. Then the meetings began-one on liberal arts career planning, one with a faculty advi- sor, and one of greetings by President Robert Bottoms. During the breaks, stu- dents and parents squeezed in lunch, no doubt wondering whether the food would stay this good. After the required meetings subsided, parents began to slowly drift away, saying good-bye to their new college freshmen. As busy as the day had been , activities had just begun for the new students. The first Orientation group meeting, coupled with a cook-out in the Dells, was followed by an entertaining look at DePauw's history given by Dr. John Baughman. Then it was back to the dorms for introductory floor meetings to discuss hall policies. Finally, the first day had come to a close. Although it was Saturday night, most freshmen went to bed early in their new DePauw homes, ready to face col- lege Iife-tomorrow. 10 Orientation Brent Larson Waiting for her schedule printout is freshman Tara Sayre.

Oktoberfest: Food, Friends, and Fun The sunny skies of Indian Summer graced DePauw on Friday, October 10, the date ovf this year's Oktoberfest. This Union Board sponsored event kicked off with an aIl-cam- pus picnic. A myriad of different activities were avail- able, including booths from several local restaurants offering a Taste of Greencas- tle. Several greek living units came up with unique ideas for booths to support their philanthropies. These ranged from the traditional Alpha Phi teeter-totter marathon to Sigma Nu's offer to students to have pic- tures taken with a cardboard replica of Bartles and Jaymes. A raffle was held for a free balloon ride which took off right after the picnic. IL The climax of the evening, though, was the air band contest. Taking first place were members of the Association of Afro-Ameri- can Students for their rendition of Nasty. Members of Kappa Kappa Gamma were sec- ond and Fiji placed third. Thus ended an evening of fun and excitement for all De- Pauw students. -Holly Baker Gazing at the people below are Andrew Wolf and a friend. 12 Oktoberfest Spectators anxiously await this balloon to lift off during Oktoberfest.
