PREPARING FRESHMEN COLLEGE The initial anxiety was over. Upon receiving an acceptance letter to GGA, those long sleep- less nights were finally over. Then came the excitement of orientation. Students compris- ing the largest freshman class ever, along with their parents, came to CIGA to get a taste of the Athens atmosphere, both on and off campus. Orientation provided the per- fect opportunity for making new friends, asking questions, and real- izing that this was going to be home for the next four years. The first day of orientation was the most hectic. First, right after ishman oi tat ion gives, {roots to ttie treej ttiat is our col- lege life, Joel Padgett settling into the dorms, were placement exams. Sitting in an enormous lecture hall made col lege seem more formal than high school and all in all somewhat dis- heartening. But then the infamous orientation leader skit put on that evening, showed that college was not all work and no play. On the second day students were introduced to the ominous advising and registration process. Students had to learn their way around Memorial Hall and many of them, unfortunately discovered yellow cards and the problem station. Summer orientation, on the whole, helped relieve stu- dents ' concerns about college life. Ife 12 ORIENTATION Orientation leaders check out the new renovations at Sanford Stadium.
