H ELLO NEW STUDENTS ow does Regis welcome the new members of its family? With awesome enthusiasm! New students at Regis arrived on campus on Saturday August 23, 1986. Many of them encountered the Regis spirit as they disembarked at Stapelton International Airport and were innundated with Regis Saints, anxious to carry luggage and wisk them off to campus. More Saints were waiting outside the Residence Hall, and eagerly helped the new dormies move into their rooms. Get aquainted games in the quad and a movie and pizza in the Speakeasy helped new students make new friends. A welcome mass was also intended to make new students feel at home in their new environment. Placement tests may not have been welcomed with overwhelming joy by new Regisies but they were soon over. A picnic Sunday night in the quad was a last chance to spend a few minutes with Mon and Dad. On Monday the new students met their advisors and went through advising, chosing classes (how confusing!) and regis- tration. Part of the freshmen new student experience is that everything is new - new room, new roommate, new R.A. (what ' s an R.A. again?), new friends, new address, new free- doms, new experiences. There are also a lot of firsts - first SAGA food, first checking account, first college party, first financial clearance (oh my!), and first college classes. With all these news and firsts to deal with, the Day in Denver was intended to help new students become aquainted with the city of Denver and to teach them how to get around. With their Saint guide, students hopped the handy 52 RTD and soon found themselves downtown and sightseeing along the 16th Street mall and Larimer square, in the Tabor Center, Banana Republic, May D F, The Denver, whatever else they could find. It wasn ' t long, however, until routine set in and it was on with college life. 12 Freshmen Orientation
