Orientees roam 'U'

By HAL KANE
First-year student orientation has
begun, but even though University
President Harold Shapiro agreed to
implement racism workshops as
part of orientation, mandatory
workshops will not be part of this
year's agenda. Shapiro agreed to the
racism program last semester as one
of the six demands initiated by the
United Coalition Against Racism.
Some of the students on the
orientation staff, however, said that
racism is not a major concern at
orientation. "There's no real pro -
gram (for racism). The way I under -
stand it, it was too late in the year,
so they're working on something
for next year," one orientation coor -
dinator said.
The University has trained orien -
tation leaders on racism and they are
expected to incorporate it into their
presentations and discussions, said

Pam Horne, assistant director of
student information services.
Also, the United Coalition
Against Racism will hold an op-
tional workshop during orientation.
Although the programs do not
deal with racism, orientation leaders
feel the three-day introduction to the
University serves other purposes.
Orientation makes "incoming stu -
dents feel comfortable with their
surroundings and gets them ready
for fall, as well as (getting) them
registered for classes and stuff," stu -
dent orientation leader Michelle
Emery said.
For the most part, students also
found the program to be very in -
formative. "Once they showed me
around, I felt like (the University)
wasn't as big as I thought it would
be," Jennifer Blonde, an incoming
student, said. "They really keep you
running - my feet are killing me."

Orientee Joe Tretheway said that
Ann Arbor is very different from
the small town where he grew up.
Some people, however, criticized
the program. "The tours were bor -
ing," orientee Tom Ford said. "I felt
like I was being dragged around like
a dog." He also said, "The food was
not real good, not like mom's."
Ford remarked on the diversity of
the people living in Ann Arbor
from "the people who dress really
preppy, and the guys who look like
they're from the sixties."
Also many of the newcomers
said they were impressed with the
life style they've discovered at the
University. "The students have a lot
of freedom," incoming first-year
student Casey Burke said.
Blonde said the Ann Arborites
she has met have been very friend -
ly, which has made her stay more
pleasant. "Registration seems really
frustrating at first, but the people
are really helpful."

Council co-chair and LSA senior
David Newblatt said the student
faction of the council plans to meet
next week. "We'll go full charge
ahead," Newblatt said. "We'll be
asking for appointments for the
people who are leaving."
Newblatt and former student co-
chair Nicole Diller said the reso-
lution was inappropriate because
the council has never voted in the
past - all decisions have been
made by consensus. -
