“People will let you get away with a lot of things you wouldn’t ordi- narily get away with.” — Corn Green (otherwise known as the Grape) People made Bacchus l est what it was a big, noisy, rowdy, and dev- astating party. The organizers brought in gallons of cheap, red wine. Some people took advantage of an outdoor massage parlor, and a slave auction, while others were con- tent to walk, listen to the music, roll on the hill, or throw wine at their friends. The myriads of people, shuf- fling about, ever moving, ever talk- ing, assaulted their stomachs, their lungs and their minds, as the glazed and sometimes wild faces evidenced. But others returned from the confu- sion to sort themselves out. to watch the evening come, and the music drift away, over the Union, over the Tri- Dorms and down into the Quads, where there was a promise of parties yet to come. 10

Enthusiasm und cooperation are the words that described this year's Orientation under the auspices of Lynne and Mark. They credit the success to the spirit of the freshman and the willingness to work with their committees. The traditional games were played with the excep- tion of the egg throwing light b upper classmen. Instead, a water bal- loon fight oceured as well as swim- ming at the Law sonia pool. The da s were spent relaxing, laughing and making new friends. All in all. it was a warm welcome to the new students. “When we all arrived here fresh- man year, we had nothing in com- mon with anyone else except that we had chosen Ripon as a knowledge feeder and curiosity satisfier.
