usual with the EPT and our Aptitude test! Flrosh later played moonball on front campus so they could work up an appetite for the refreshments at the Elmo. We were joined by our friendly neighboring faculties of Nursing and Rehab Medicine and a good time was had by all (except for the bouncers who were a little wet by the end!). A few flrosh who were ready for more action showed up for soccer on Saturday and then raced around campus trying to win the Scavenger Hunt. And anyone who attended won ' t forget Hart House Farm. This was the year the flrosh got off easy - only a half hour of log carrying - you wusses! Anyways, you can always help next year on the committee. There was plenty of Mister Piss for all playing volleyball and other Amstel products available for consumption at all times. Lastly, the flrosh finally clued in and threw me in the pond mud hole but I was prepared with my bathing suit - ha! ha! Better luck next time!

This year ' s Orientation started out pretty much the same as any other Orientation: you ' ve got yer rubber dolls (oops - did I say that?) yer beers, yer bunch of crazy upperclasspeople etc., etc. This was the year we found out that push-ups on dolls were classified as gang-rape . Well, I don ' t know about you but this was something I never would have predicted. Anyways, if you ' ve read the Varsity this year, I ' m sure you know all about it. Next year will be very, very, different... Orientation this year also happened to have its good points (even though it rained the first day). The flrosh still received their purple arms, obnoxiously yellow hardhats and t-shirts and got to show them off to the rest of the University and the city. Isn ' t it amazing to watch 600 yellow people walking bv and stopping blocks of dow ;n traffic (I love pissing off drivers when I ' m not driving!). Anyways, we did finally have a BBQ the first day (for those who didn ' t die of hunger before 5pm). The second day started as 18

HP fyp W MMW U of T day is the University’s version of show and tell and primarily functions to educate both the general public and prospective U of T students as to what the University has to offer. U of T day is also a celebration of how much work can be done on how little funding. The Engineering faculty put on a great show this year. It was possible to watch robots chasing a flashlight, to hear dust falling using a laser and to see a demonstration of a robot arm. Other highlights of the Engineering display included the Slowpoke reactor and the structural testing laboratory. It was possible for the curious to look inside their bodies with magnetic resonance imaging or to witness an estimation of a human operator ' s mental workload. While the day was undoubtably enjoyable for the visitors, it was no less so for the students and staff who volunteered to show people around and explain demonstrations. For in spite of stories about university wide apathy, anyone who participated in U of T day was proud to be a public relations person for the University even if only for a day ( the free T-shirts were nice too). 20
