Summer Orientation was the long awaited first taste of college life for most freshmen. SAT ' s were over. High school finals were over. It was time for Big School . Mommy helped you pack and gave you a big kiss. It was your job to deal with the real world. Ori- entation was the introduction to this so-called real world. Summer Orien- tation was where freshmen learned how much they don ' t know. Incoming freshmen traveled from Georgia and abroad to attend this two day information-packed event. Summer Orientation was divided into thirteen sessions, two of which were Advanced Placement. The ten student orientation leaders intro- duced the freshmen to the campus and provided insight regarding the University of Georgia experience. These leaders were chosen from ap- proximately two hundred applica- tions during the previous winter quarter of that year. They were se- lected through interviews on the ba- sis of academics, honors, campus in- volvement, and character. The prin- cipal task of these leaders was to teach the freshmen how to call the dawgs . At orientation, students are given booklet after pamplet after leaflet in an effort to increase their knowl- edge. Yet, as it may seem, the per- plexed freshman carries all of this wonderful information around with- out ever knowing its content. To top it off, the freshman had their first experience with Chicopee registra- tion. Summer Orientation provided freshmen with a chance to meet oth- er freshmen. Students could take tests to place out of, and even re- ceive credit for college courses. This was also a time to get acquainted with dining hall food and dormitory living. Students also learned not to carry their bright red orientation folders with them, or they would be pegged a freshie . -- ORIENTAriO :
