out to be a pretty good film. During the movie I kept trying to decide what I should do if Brian tried to hold my hand, or put his arm on the back of my chair, but he didnt try. 80 then I worried about why he didnt try. When we left the movie, I wasnt ready to go home yet, so I was glad when he asked me what we should next. Of course, I had to say I didnt care, which turned out to be the wrong thing to say. Brian chose Mac 8 Joeis. It wasnt as bad as I had expected. All those horror stories weren't true, at least, not all of them. We had a pitcher of Strohis, which wasnit my idea of romance, but I did enjoy talking with Brian. I was beginning to really like this QUY- During the movie I kept trying to decide what I should do if Brian tried to hold my hand, or put his arm on the back of my chair, but he didnit try. 80 then I worried about why he didnt try. Brian: We set a leisurely pace finishing off our pitcher, and we had what I would term a good conversation. It was now getting close to 1:00, and lleitristy thought it was about time that we e . So we left, and walked very slowly on slant walk back towards Porter. Unfortunately, we were soon there. Now came the moment of truth. I liked her, a lot better than when the evening started out. It seemed that she had warmed up a little to me e would I get a good-night kiss? Iill never tell. But I did ask her for another date next weekend and she accepted. . Alas, my dry spell was ended, and as I walked back home I could just hear the macaroni and cheese screaming loudly at me, probably until my next paycheck. Christy: All too soon it was 1:00, so I told Brian, iil really should be getting home? Brian agreed. We headed back to Porter, and arrived there before I knew it. We stood awkwardly on the front porch, about six feet apart, and said what a good time we both had. This was The Moment of the Goodnight Kiss, and neither of us knew what to do. Brian moved a little Closer and . . . well, the important thing is that he asked me out again, so now I could look forward to the next weekend. CI The final scene, or the anticipation of the GOOD- NIGHT KISS, could be either the low or high point of the evening, depending upon what happened. Re- gardless, Brian and Christy went out again the next weekend. 24 The Dating Game

As in past years, Freshmen Orientation was held during the summer months of June and July. The orientation program consisted of two-day sessions, designed to familiarize students to Miami and give them an idea of what their first year of college might be like. Meetings for each school were broken down into specific areas of study, and advisers were present to aid freshmen in planning their first semester schedules. Optional assemblies and lectures were held in the evening on topics pertaining to various aspects of student life, such as study habits and Greek life. After 26 Summer Hews attending the orientation semi- nar, freshmen were better pre- pared for their August arrival in Oxford. iimmmii Mamimxawtnmivmixxmm immumximmm W Tallawanda Hall, a residence hall that was considered some- what of a historical landmark on Miami's campus, was torn down in June to make way for a new parking lot. Tallawanda was a residence hall, but Miami officials felt that it was time to tear down the hall because the building had become a fire hazard and was structurally un- sound. Arguments were heated between those who wanted to SUMMER NEWS save the hall for its historical sig- nificance and those who were in favor of tearing the building down for economic reasons. The decision to destroy the hall came after the realization that the cost of renovating the hall would be far more than the cost of tearing down the structure. Many of the furnishings from Tallawanda Hall were saved for further use in other campus buildings.

A wave of patriotism swept the country in partial celebration of the first United States participation in the Sum- mer games since 1976. Adding a strange twist to the games, the Soviet Union and most of the Soviet bloc coun- tries boycotted the Games for political reasons, leaving open a path for the Llnited States Olympic teams to win gold medal after gold medal. Mary Lou Retton, who took the individual all-around gold medal, was the darling of the women's gymnastics competi- tion. The menls LLS. gymnas- tics team, led by Peter Vidmar and Bart Conner, also captured Laura K. Sheldon
