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.

Later on, the doors were judged, and Mary Jane Turner and Beth Eckerd were the winners. Soon after, children began to pour into the quad dressed from dragons to Don Johnson.
