EVENTS, FM! Orientation It ' s Great! by JERRY KNUDSON first week of collegi- ate life who can forget it, who can describe it? Orientation week is a once- only venture, to which the newly ori- ented shout Praises be ! and their older colleagues—tending to become disoriented again simply smile nos- talgically. There you were: just graduated from high school with a whole summer to get keyed up over your new career as a college student maybe noncommittal, maybe wildly enthusiastic, maybe a trifle reluctant to tread on strange ground. And you were barraged all that summer with forms and leaflets and pitches. How to get into things, what to wear, where to stay. Vote Pacha- camac, join Don Henry Coop, don ' t miss rush week. Then you packed everything from tennis rackets to portable radios and headed for Lawrence: home of the University of Kansas and a glittering Mecca with a four-year lease. You ar- rive. You get situated in a private room or residence hall or dormitory. Maybe you come early and wear your best clothes and brave, fixed smiles as you go through rush week and are pledged. Then wham! the whole thing ex- plodes in your face as you ' re plunged into a weekly schedule of just learn- ing how to be a student. It ' s a full- time job, this orientation business. It all starts off innocently enough. You and your parents if they ' re in town are invited to an open house session at the newly remodeled Stu- dent Union on Wednesday afternoon. private initiative But before that you have some time of your own and you do some orient- ing on your own. With a guidebook to the University buildings in your hand you stroll up and down Oread avenue trying not to look like a new student —or green freshman, rather. And in those first few evenings you inspect the local theaters, test the local restau- rants, catch the wrong buses, and per- haps get snarled up in the Student Union cafeteria line. But the student-parent reception is at hand, and you dutifully—and with not a little pride lead your parents into the plushiness of the Union. Cof- fee, doughnuts, small talk, a tour of the building. That ' s that. Your parents are off and you ' re on your own. 7 1•
