 NEW BEGINNINGS FRESHMAN ORIENTATION Beginning college at the University of Cincinnati can be very overwhelming for mony freshmen. These new students need to learn how to make out their schedules to conform to University regulations, purchase their books for the classes they have taken, register for the dorm that they will live in. obtain a parking permit if it is necessary and most importantly, find their way around campus. For those of us who have been around for four. five, six or however many years.the campus is so familiar that we're amazed by the confusion of newcomers. But we all need to remember that we to were newcomers once. The University of Cincinnati's Student Orientation Leaders (SOL'S) try to make the transition from high school senior to college freshman as smooth as possible. The Student Orientation Leaders help give order to the confused life of new UC students. During summer orientation, they help freshmen fill out their DARS forms, they hold discussion groups with both parents and students, they lead tours around the campus and highlight the historic facts about UC. and they provide invaluable information to these new students. The SOL's also help the new freshmen meet other freshmen through sponsored social events. Each year the SOL's organize a Freshman Mixer, which was held in TUC Great Hall this year. Also the annual picnic on McMicken lawn is an activity which SOL's use to help freshmen get to know one another. It is always a big success A great deal is achieved during freshman orientation. The new students and their parents learn a lot about U C. and the SOL's learn as well. Thanks to the students ond the SOL's. U.C. had another great orientation this year! GET TNG ACQUAINTED — The panic on McMicken lawn was a huge success this year with the turnout of a great many now students and old students os wei.
