NEW JOURNEY FOR FR05H h, freshmen . . . That familiar word in an unfamiliar place. Tears from some and smiles from others. Where do they all begin? Why freshman orientation, of course! Encouraging parents drop their children off as they begin their new stay in a new home. Orientation staff, headed by SGA Second Vice-President Andy Schwartz, put together three fun- filled days for the new frosh to get to know more about their new friends and their new school. 150 organizations and clubs represented themselves in a College Fair held up in the Ballroom. This gave students an opportunity to choose social and academic activities to fill up their extra time. The famous hypnotist, John Kolisch, gave a smashing performance while commanding participants to imitate Diana Ross, Muhammed Ali, and Richard Pryor. The Nines, a newcoming new wave group, entertained the crowd one night while members of the crowd went wild. During another night frosh were awakened at 2 am to watch the famous college-movie Animal House. Not many minded, because it was just another chance to meet and mix with the other frosh in the Class of 1986.
