With the summer coming to an end, freshmen were closer toward their new experience ' for those re- turning it was Just Back to School The gates of Oglethorpe wel- comed a surgence of new and old faces. It was Fall 1986— the begin- ning of a new school semester..and an outlet to a bright future. The first few weeks of school were filled with good times with old friends, mingling with new friends at the Welcome Back Dance, and a hectic orientation schedule for the freshman. The freshman attended the annu- al get-together at President Pattil- lo ' s home. Here, the freshmen and their parents met Dr. and Mrs. Pat- tillo and were introduced to other administrators, as well as other freshmen. The freshmen also at- tended speeches given by the O.S.A. members and club presi- dents. Following the speeches, they were invited to sign up for the wide variety of clubs and organizations on campus at the club fair in the Emerson Student Center. Some of the groups who were there included the Oglethorpe Players, Circle K. Rotaract, the Oglethorpe Christian Fellowship and the International Club. Between moving into the dorms, registering for classes, get- ting acquainted and reacquainted with roommates, and buying books, the students found time to do Hot-lanta. c i « ee4 23

Ann Marie Bowen, Rachel Fowler and Elizabeth Bridgers were a few of the volunteers during registration. (Note Sam Crow j before the photo below was taken). continued from 23 They traveled on MARTA, shopped at ienox Square for dorm decorations, and attempted to use bogus Oglethorpe meal tickets to get into such popular nightspots as Confetti, Elan, and The Limelight. Some students discovered Stone Mountain and enjoyed the final la- ser show of the year on Labor Day, a grand finale of laser lights, and fireworks on display with a variety of popular songs being played in the background. The realization that this was actually school hit students in the second week of classes, when stu- dents were handed assignments and realized that they were already be- hind. Some students took this dis- covery in stride and made a trip to Lowry Hall to delve into their stud- ies. For the freshmen, a trip to Lowry Hall meant taking the re- quired tour of the library with their Freshman Seminar class. Sorority and Fraternity Rush was the beginning as well, and many students were juggling rush parties and functions with school work. But, a good time was had by most who participated in rush. The stu- dents involved were treated to re- freshments in a casual and fun at- mosphere. Today, some of these rushees are now proud brothers and sisters of the fraternities and sorori- ties on campus. Thus, with all of these activities going on, the first few weeks of school flew by and it was not long before students began calling home and asking that ever popular ques- tion, Can you send me more mon- ey.? Well, college life had started, and for most of the students, it meant looking forward to a year of new experiences and challenges.
