Orientation Week is hectic for everyone — students, advisors, and campus employees alil e. It ' s the time for students to get used to new rooms and new roommates. A time to pore over the campus map again and again, memorizing all the buildings. It ' s the time when the high school senior becomes the college freshman. During Orientation Week, freshmen students learn all the fundamentals for surviving at KSU. Through assigned groups, each with their own faculty advisor, they are taught how to decipher registration forms, instructed which classes to take and which teachers to avoid, and given the campus tour no less than fifteen times. Recreational activities are also part of Orientation Week. Each student group is assigned a time in which they partici- pate in group sports. The City of Kent becomes part of the act with its annual sidewalk sale involving area merchants. As for nightlife, the Rathskeller probably gets more busi- ness during Orientation Week than any other time of year. The pizza delivery people run themselves ragged filling the orders of ravenous freshmen to whom cheap, cardboard-like pizza is a novelty. And Downtown, at least for those of legal age, becomes a nightly visiting spot. Scheduling classes is one of the more trying aspects of Orientation Week. Freshmen are presented with a catalog, schedule book, and a foreign-looking computer form. Given this, they attempt to construct a schedule that fulfills all o f their General Education Requirements, puts them at junior standing and lets them sleep in until noon every day; an admirable, yet somewhat unrealistic goal. But after the scheduling hassles are over and students have spent their every last cent on junk food and alcohol, most everyone settles down and prepares for the onslaught of upperclassmen. Soon the campus will be crawling with people of all ages and backgrounds. Another year has be- gun! ■ Laura Buterbaugh
