On Wednesday, September 7,1983, the class of 1984 arrived on the campus. The fresh faces came from 29 states, one territory and three foreign countries to begin four years of hard work, to form lasting friendships, and to be swept into the whirlwind of activities that is orientation. Orientation always moves at a rapid pace, and as many social activities as possible were squeezed into this year’s calendar. An ice cream social, a square dance, a FUSAB dance in the dining hall, a pep rally and a football game gave the students the opportunity to meet their fellow classmates and to adjust to Furman life. After the president’s reception on Friday evening. the new students used their own creativity to throw brother sister hall parties. Lane Kent, a freshman from Marietta, Ga., commented, “None of us had time to think about being homesick; I hardly had time to sleep.” The busy orientation schedule, however, included more than just social activities. Students spent time taking placement tests, meeting their advisors, and pre-registering for the first time. The orientation staff and other upperclassmen also enjoyed the week’s activities, although they had a different viewpoint. The week may be fun for us, said Paul Moore, an R.A. from Longwood, Fla., “but for the freshmen it’s something really exciting. They’re beginning their careers at Furman, and you just can’t match their excitement and enthusiasm Cindy Roberts Bringing out hidden personalities, freshmen punk out at a brother sister hall party during orientation.
