CONFUSION WITH A PURPOSE Orientation for Freshmen began on September 10. 1980. From that day on Freshmen were subjected to meetings, placement tests, meetings. meals in the dining hall, questionnaires and more meetings. Freshmen also had the opportunity to become familiar with Furman. Special events like the Square Dance gave new students a chance to meet each other while kicking up their heels dancing the Virginia Reel. Then there was the more somber occasion of meeting President and Mrs. John E. Johns and other Fur- man faculty. Just when Freshmen thought Orientation had come to an end. they were surprised to find that more activities were planned for them, in the form of Mix Week, designed for Freshmen to meet Sophomores. During the week. Freshmen had to choose whether to start their college career academically or socially. Those who chose the social aspect attended such events as a hayride to Table Rock, an ice cream social (bring your own banana) or a serenade. Overall. Orientation 1980 was a big success. Freshmen have blended very nicely into the rest of the student body. Freshmen who took part in Orientation really enjoyed themselves, saying it was rushed but fun and Furman is a big summer camp!
