Academic Habits To Study Or not To Study When, and if, a Westmin- ster College student de- cides to study, he or she can be placed into one of three categories: the seri- ous studier, the group stu- dier, or the social studier. The serious studier is one who prefers to study alone. Me or she may study on the third floor of McQill Library, J.S. Nack Science Library or in the privacy of a dorm room. The serious studier works very hard and usually receives grades ranging from A s to B ' s. This person is confident that he she will never fail a test. The group studier may occasionally study alone, but he she prefers to study vAth others. The group stu- diers worries about grades, but prefers to share the load. He she receives grades ranging from A s to C ' s. Unlike the serious stu- dier, the group studer is not always confident that he she will pass a test or finish a paper. The social studier is a rare breed. This person may never study at all. Play- ing the role of a social but- terfuly the social studier goes to NcQill with books in hand, and flits around from floor to floor seeking out other social studies, occa- sionally bothering group studiers or a serious stu- dier. The social studier nev- er goes to the science li- brary, or the third floor of McQill, unless he she is looking for a specific mem- ber of the opposite sex. The social studier doesn ' t worry about getting A s, B ' s or C ' s. Me or she is merely pleased with passing. Most students fall into each of these categories at one time or another. So the question of whether to study or not can be an- swered in various ways. Mark Platek becomes a part of the relaxed atmosphere of the Union lounge.

Below The Orientation Staff takes time out from their game of twies- ter to wave at the camera. Freshman Orientation Do You Remember When? I want a standing ova- tion! screamed freshman Julie Hocevar, during Play- fair, as four guys come charging toward her to boost her up on their shoul- ders. Playfair, held on the first night of orientation, was a series of indoor games led by an enthusias- tic orientation staff com- posed of upperclassmen. Such games as Ameoba and back to back dancing were designed to intermin- gle freshmen and spark new friendships. Senior Bri- an Goodman, recalls Play- fair as one of the most memorable events of his freshman orientation. Another unique facet of Westminster ' s Freshmen Orientation was the wild and crazy ' Games People Play. Freshmen organized into teams and competed against each other in a vari- ety of events including an obstacle course and wheel- barrow race. Seniors, Cathy Raich le and Tim Powers, re- member the interaction be- tween their freshmen class and the team spirit their re- spective teams displayed. Cathy commented, My team ' s enthusiasm was in- credible! We won and were supposed to get a free pizza and we are still waiting! Games People Play was also a success with the class of 1990, claimed ac- tive participant Chris Dal- torio. It was a great way to meet people and blow off some steam. Everyone was so friendly including the staff. Other highlights of Fresh- man Orientation included: a pool party in which ap- proximately 150 wet fresh- men viewed Pee-Wee ' s Great Adventure , a Wild Video Dance Party where the whole class danced the night away under the stars to music videos, a picnic at President Boone ' s home and prime entertainment from comedian Mark Pitta. Orientation was not all fun and games. Freshmen were required to attend depart- mental meetings and insti- tutional testing. The entire transition from high school to college life was made a lot easier due to Freshmen Orientation and its super staff including the Fresh Start ' 86 Staff, the Lambda Sigma Society, the Orientation Planning and Enthusiasm Committee, and Student Coordinators, Robin Stroebel and i arc Miller. Freshmen, Chris Gregory stated, They made the first few days easi- er because we were kept so busy and also their enthusi- asm rubbed off on us and we were excited to start classes.
