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. Here's to the SOAPERS of OSU! • Pictures Courtesy of Jill I.arson- 25

iite Thanksgiving!? Benny takes advantage of the extra vacation time to get a little skiing action. Oregon State students were treated with an extra long Thanksgiving vacation this year. Several inches of snow forced the closure of Oregon State University, which has not happened since 1962. putting 1985 in the record books. Since many students went home for Thanksgiving, the closure was enacted to avoid unnecessary accidents. Students then didn't have to rush to return to campus. Many students used the extra day for traveling back to Corvallis, while others used the time to catch up with their studies. The campus became a winter wonderland of white and many students just enjoyed the snow. 27
