SKULE AT HART HOUSE FARM Orientation ’83 wound up in the traditional manner at Hart House Farm with Flrosh finally given the opportunity to rebel against the Orientation Committee and carry them off, in manners traditional or otherwise, for a dunking in the pond. The newly built dock eliminated the usual danger of landing on a rock ledge, but made upperclassmen no less reluctant to go for a swim; this year witnessed several lively skirmishes between the dunkers and the dunkee, with the V.P. Activities, in particular, proving most uncooperative. Nevertheless, spirits were high, particularly after the cutting of a certain spiked watermelon known as “Yum”, as the initiation of the class of 8T7 came to an end.

HOMECOMING -I Homecoming Weekend ’83 proved to be a huge suc- cess as well as a lot of fun. Following a week of furious construction by a handful of enthusiastic insomniacs, the Engineering float was com- pleted a full three hours before it joined in the Homecoming Parade. Needless to say, the effort paid off, as the Engineers won the U of T Homecoming Float Contest for the second year in a row. Congratulations are extended to Bill, Bruce, Joe, Derek, Paul and the rest, with special thanks to Rob for sacrificing himself in a daring, but doomed, effort to finish off those ten free cases of beer. Following the Blues romp over Waterloo, Homecum- ming festivities continued late into the night with the Engineering Society- sponsored concert at the Concert Hall. This event, featuring the Spoons and the CFNY Video Road Show, was the first of its kind for the U of T campus. 14
