Student Impact. A freshman relives Student Impact fun ear Diary, tFridayi This has been a very bizarre day; it, of course, i ' was my first ciay of college! I arrived this morning; my car loaded with everything I own. Before dad turned the car off, strange people in white tee-shirts were washing our windows! I went inside Cathcart tiny new homei and got a key to my room; when I got back, there were at least 100 people, arms piled high with my belongings staring at me. In a blink they had everything in my room and were attacking another unsuspecting arrival. We were divided into some- thing called energy groups and talked about getting to know each other. Do I want to get to know some of these people? I'll give it a shot! Dear Diary, tSaturdayi I had to get up before 11:00 today! Am I going to like this college concept? I think I'm going to need a very loud a- larm clock! Today is looking up remarkably. This morning we chatted about meeting people and how to go about it. I used my new knowledge on the best looking guy I have ever seen; guess what? It works! We played games and had a blast! My favorite part was get- ting to sit on that cute boy's lap when we made a human circle and sat on each other! Tonight we watched the fac- ulty prove they had talent. Are these people really going to teach me? Dear Diary, Sunday In our energy group we talk ed about social clubs; there are too many to choose from. Which one should I choose? Oops! I was just informed, they choose me! There was a cheer competi- tion tonight in the New Gym! It would have been fine except for one thing. I was one of the cheerers. I cannot believe I was in front of 160 people yel- ling Pork chops, pork chops, greasy, greasy, we beat your group easy, easy! Oh, well, that's the fun part of being a freshman! Dear Diary, tMondayi Today we had something they called War Games. We sElit up in two groups and 3 0t ammunition of water balloons at the other side. There was also hand-to-hand combat in which we went at each other with water guns! It was fun! I don't think anyone even noticed that it was pouring! Dear Diary, tTuesdayi It is 8:00 a.m. and I am up! That in itself is remarkable, but I played games that re- quired physical activity! In our energy group today we played cards and ate brownies and ice cream. It was fun! We have the funniest peo- ple in our group! Tonight we had the closing ceremonies; it was emotional. I hope the rest of the year is this fumO - Amy Fisher He' 3 just overall mean.

Spring Sing. .. osts and h 0 s t e s s e 5 Mark Brown, Paul Lock- hart, Lori Baie ' ' ' ra White opened Spring Sing 1986 by singing, In the Morning of My Life. This got the show off the ground: After literally months of preparatory prac- tices and work, Spring Sing 1986 had finally begun. Soon after the first number, clubs began to give their own performances. Kappa Delta Kappa, Sigma Tau Sigma, and Chi Lambda Chi carried a theme of a jungle tribe while Galaxy and Iu Go Ju pretended to be members of the Harding Security. Next, Kin '5 Men, OEGE and Chi Alp a Rho hit the field as two rival baseball teams. Following their show, Gata and Alpha Tau Epsilon brought us back in time with a USO theme while Chi Sigma Alpha and Regina went through some bizarre changes to become werewolves. Kappa Kappa ley, and Lau-v Kappa and Kappa Sigma Kap- pa followed with a theme of train conductors. Setting sail for our country, Sub-T 16 and K0 Jo Kai dressed as sailors. Kappa Tau Omega, Kirei Na Ai, Omega Phi, and Tri Sigma Delta all combined to portray every tooth's nightmare, pla- que, while Shantih and Ka Re Ta dedicated their show to a popular soft drink.
