ORIENTATION Plagued by elections and threatening weather, Orientation Day went off without a hitch. Well almost! After being put through the usual Con Hall speeches, the music (?) of the LGMB and Jhe pop (?) of the Mighty Skule™ Cannon , the class of 8T8 was promptly marked with the official dye and sent out on a mission to collect money for Shinerama. Later that same day these mild manner ed shiners were rumored to be breaking windows at S.A.C. and overturning Greycoach tour buses. Some days later these same firosh allegedly paid nocturnal visits to other colleges, threw some nurses (and some female engineers) in the Devo showers, and were party to the destruction of a VUSAC sign. The Scavenger Hunt proved to be interesting this year with the top prize going to the team which brought back the draught tap. Cne team had to be disqualified for mistreating their captive. Finally, the week ended with a day at Hart House Farm. Although there were not quite enough firosh to dunk all the upper- classmen, a good time was had by all.

SHINERAMA This year’s Shinerama saw 640 students take to the streets of Toronto, shining shoes to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis resear- ch. The total amount raised by all our events was close to $12,000, more than we’ve raised in several years. Congratulations! Among the events that made Shinerama successful was the Bedrace down University Avenue. Not only did competitor bomb fellow competitor with water balloons, but spectators also got in on the action, obtaining water balloons for a donation to Cystic Fibrosis. It seemed almost like a riot scene with the Mighty Skule™ Cannon starting the race, and seeing people running back and forth throwing water balloons. The hotdog eating contest was also another memorable event. Blindfolded eaters were stuffed with mustard-and- ketchup-covered weenies for five minutes. The winning team devoured thirteen hotdogs, and when it was announced that they were to be awarded with ten pounds of hotdogs, stomachs could be heard turning. ■ I
