I ORIENTATION • Renne Weiner Between the acceptance letter and that anxiety-tilled first day on campus comes something wonderful — freshman orientation. It ' s the perfect occasion for making new friends, having ques- tions answered, and discov- ering vour new second home. It ' s the first time you sit in an auditorium, eat in the dining hall, and sleep in the dorms. Orientation also gives par- ents the opportunity to visit and prepare them for their part in the college experi- ence. Not only is there freshmen who attend orientation, transfer students also get the chance to explore a new col- lege and become familiar with the campus. Orientation would not be successful without the lead- ers who know tid-bits of in- formation about the campus. The 1989 Orientation leaders were Irish McNeekin, Mary Kathryn Todd, Curry Cook, Cale Conlev, Trent Taylor, mm-- Tom Johnson, Keysa Brown, Beth Sykes, Todd King, and Kelly Curran. Highlights of the summer included the nightmare skit and welcoming the 3,100 freshmen to the University of Georgia. 1989 Orientation Leaders guided new students on VGA ' s campus. I ' r:rpr.ni.

SCHOOL SPIRIT Georgia House Fun and excitement filled the air during the week of October 27 to November 4. What else could this be but our annual Homecoming week? Students from all orga- nizations around campus came together to support the many activities and to com- pete in the events. A Salute To The Eighties provided the perfect theme for which all the activities were cen- tered around. The MDA Superdance kicked off the week, which not only provided twelve hours wor th of entertain- ment for the one hundred dancers, but also provided a very needed service project. The participating organiza- tions found sponsors and to- gether were able to raise a total of ten thousand dollars. All the proceeds were do- nated to the Muscular Dys- trophy Association. Mike Au- gustine graduate assistant to clubs and organizations, said, The student body really pul- led together in an effort to raise money for such a wor- thy cause. This was shown through the amount of mon- ey raised and also from the participation which has dou- bled from the preceding years. A visitor to Athens during homecoming week would have been greeted by red and black banners and windows. Many recurring themes in- cluded the Bulldog ' s Nation- al Championship, the change of head coaches, and the in- auguration of President Knapp. Such displays of spir- it gave us the perfect chance to look back over the Rodney Hawkins works hard to paint a vendor ' s window for FIJI and Delta Zeta.
