Those crazy cats! They broke their record again. The Student Foundation set out to raise $150,000 this year. This goal was easily reached. After the last phone was set down, there was a grand total of $160,891 pledged. According to Helen White, director of the Telefund, the majority of the money, 80 percent, will go to the OSU Foundation for building improvements and library acquisitions. The remainder will go toward funding student organizations for the 1986-87 academic year and for emergency funding until them then. We arc here to benefit OSU. The money that we raise is given back to recognized student groups to improve OSU. and benefit other students. said I.isa Ncubaurncr. member of the Student Foundation.

The Student Orientation and Advising Program, known as SOAP, is a program held every summer since 1967 to acquaint freshmen with the campus and to register them for the Fall term. The SOAP counselors arc juniors and seniors who know the ropes to getting around and through OSU. They are just returning a favor that was done for them. Most of the counselors are in the Corvallis area living, working or going to summer school. To become a SOAP counselor New Student Programs who sponsors the SOAP sessions, has interviews for those expressing an interest. They generally pick about 28 students. The SOAPBRS go through training sessions during spring term in order to prepare for the many and various questions new freshmen have. Besides training sessions and SOAP sessions the SOAPERS also have a softball team. Their team this year, Lenny and the Slopers.' named after their coach. Lenny Sloper, had a very successful season winning every game they played as well as the play-offs. Being a SOAPER is a very satisfying and enjoyable experience for all who participate.
