Soaring Into a Seventh Seasoi The entertainment card? Easier to get dates,: huh? I ' ll take it! I need to take mixed what? Mixed mob? But I can ' t sing — oh, it doesn ' t matter? Sign me up. ; Where ' s the ENB? Where ' s Tourway? Where ' s J the Line? M In its seventh successful summer, SOAR (summer orientation advanced registration) continued to provide incoming freshmen with that special insight into what lies ahead in the next four years. Taking on a new format in 1980, the program welcomed students to the university with a stint in the gym for New Games. This new concept in recreation stresses not winning or losing, but participation. While playing the games of Blob Tag,, Cookie Machine, and Name Train, students ; became relaxed with their new atmosphere and managed to make some new friends along the way. Discussion groups ori extracurricular activities, university services, academics and new lifestyles followed the warmup recreation. : The evening brought on the biggest delight of each two-day session as students were treated to a dinner theater in the Great Hall. Again, the SOAR ; Show, directed by Robert Allen Holder and i featuring The People ' s Choice, was a hit. As Judy Sockwell of the Florence Times wrote in her ' review, The production is extremely well done and is a perfect showcase for the talented UNA students. m The second day saw another new addition td schedule. Each counselor spent 15-20 minutes wrti each of his Soarees to answer any personal questions and to help the student choose classes. After assemblies on activities and the counseling center, each student was registered for the fall semester of 1980. » (Photos by Grant Lovett) M Performing to hundreds in a special performs at Regency Square Mall, the People ' s Choice, SOAR ' S own song and dance ensemble, broughL the SOAR show to the Shoals community.
