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 :

Georgia Football Etiquette Georgia home football games were just a part of normal routine for the typical UGA student. Students gave parents a schedule of home games to inform moms and dads which weekends they definitely would not come home. For these weekends students were well prepared. Proper eti- quette for the game was to wear red and black. This football fan norm in- cluded red and black apparell of all kinds, such things as hats, sweaters, scarves, and pants. Radio stations prepared Athens for football weekends as they played Hunker Down Hairy Dogs, Bull- dog Bite. and Glory to Old Geor- gia. Alumni also prepared the town as they started parking red and black vans and Winnebagos all over campus. Were these people actually alumni? Could all of these people have possibly graduated from UGA? Tailgating was popular among the alumni as well as the students. Those walking by tailgate parties smelled the aroma of Kentucky Fried Chicken, salad, and home- made brownies. As the hour before the game drew near, scalpers lined the street to the stadium. Did you ever wonder where all those scalp- ers got all those tickets? Crowds were the next sight for the Georgia student as he entered gate four. These crowds made bring- ing in liquor less difficult until the alcohol checks began after the Homecoming game. People cried as their liquor was poured in the gar- bage cans and laughed at others who were caught. Once the student found his seat, if he ever did, it was time to call the dogs , shake a pom- pom, and yell! After the game came time for food and parties, if one had not already partied enough. There is no such things as an uncrowded restaurant in Athens after the game. • ) The Homecoming ' 83 spirit keeps the fans on Alumni Pete Reuning and Kim Wilkes show their feet through [he majority of time against wmmng smiles after the Dawgs crushed the Temple.
