A New Beginning What in the world is an R.A.? Where is Furman Hall? When are the dorms open? At the close of Orientation, many questions had been answered. Orientation week. September 3 through September 8, 1986, prepared freshmen and new students for life at Furman Univer-isty. According to Laura Ornduff, one word effectively summed up the week, “Meetings!” Meetings with academic advisors, commuter meetings, transfer meetings, hall meetings, a financial aid meeting, and meetings of brother-sister halls left the students with little free time. Electra Alexander said, “Orientation was good because it kept us busy and didn't give us time to get homesick. In addition, students faced placement tests and survey questions. The introduction at Furman included glimpses of the various activities while providing the freshmen with opportunities to meet other freshmen. The R.O.T.C. sponsored an ice cream social, C.E.S.C. sponsored dessert. FUSAB sponsored a dance and Dialogue groups met for the first time. Linda Ratcliffe said, “Orientation was a good way to meet everyone. The events which freshmen found the most memorable were the square dance and the midnight serenade. Kelly Powers said, “The serenade was fantastic.” Judy Harris said, Receiving carnations for the midnight serenade and roses for the President's reception was very special to me.” Todd Price recalled the square dance more than any other event, “It was fun because everyone was doing it.” The climax of the week came with the recognition of the Class of 1990 at the Furman-South Carolina State football game on Saturday. Maureen Weber accurately expressed the sentiment of the freshmen class when she said, Orientation made me feel like a part of the Furman community from the very beginning.
