; 062189 It ' s nice to see such a turn-out this fall! I. Leonard F. Lion will be your official safari guide throughout this school year, so you can all just call me Leo. Knowing how important first im- pressions are, I ' ve decided to make our first stop in Lion Country one of getting acquainted. Walking down the paths I can see that many of the familiar natives are joined by new little pig- mies. Although the faces may remain the same, personalities often change, so this safari will be as new for me as it is for you. With Project Period fast approaching, one has a chance to meet and talk to the people of Lion Country face-to-face. Who ' s this, a new head chief is now in command?! The entire coun- try will now have a chance to meet him in our first assembly. A few more classes and now Lunch; watch out for the pigmies as they cause chaos as they try to eliminate the starvation that has begun to set in! Also, the mess hall has a new atmosphere with the natives ' favorite beats coming through on the new stereo. So sit back and enjoy! It has finally come at last, the last five minutes of the last hour of the first day. With no fatali- ties and few casualities, we have only one se- mester, 17 months, and 29 days to endure and enjoy in Lion Country! Stop One: Getting Acquainted 3

As the days passed, I ' ve seen that many of you have made friends with the local natives. Having fun in Lion Country is not hard to do since t e people make each day enjoyable, rain or shine! Whether one is eating, playing or just driving through Shoaff Park, it ' s the personality of the friends that make everything worth while! The general idea in Lion Country is to have ' a wild and crazy time ' as put by many stu- dents ' favorite, Steve Martin. As you walk the crowded paths it ' s easy to understand this. Although it would be nice, everyday is not a barrel of laughs and everyone is entitled to be a ' shazbot ' once in a while! But this is all part of the friendship that those in Lion Country greatly value. Before we move on I ' d like to give you all a little advice from this wise old lion; let tomorrow follow a fun filled, action-packed tonight . . . here in Lion Country! 4 Stop Two: Making Friends
