"I've lived in Ann Arbor a long time
and had no clue what happens," he said.
"Living in a town and being a student at
the University are two different experi-
ences. Orientation was a lot of fun. I still
have friends from Orientation. I think
(when Orientation starts), 'This will be
fun."'
Orientation not only introduces new
students to Ann Arbor, but also triggers
memories for current students.
"My view of how campus was laid
out when I first came was different. I
was so clueless, I got lost (for) two
hours," said Kim Braton, a Music and
LSA junior.
Even students who had previously
experienced campus had to adjust. "I
thought I knew Ann Arbor so well," said
Music junior Emma Potter. "I live 40
minutes away. I got really confused at
Orientation."
Cook said Orientation helped to ease
him into the different experiences at the
University.
"The main thing is to start thinking
about issues that can't be covered A
three days, things they will encounter
and experience when they are here.
"I was homesick at Orientation. I
had enjoyed the high school experience,
but was hesitant to go to Orientation, not
because I didn't want to go to Michigan,
but because I didn't want to leave
DeWitt," Cook said. "I want to concen-
trate on having people feel welcome.
High school could be great, but U-M
could be pretty awesome." 4

committed the crimes.
Police arrested Mitchell after he al-
legedly tried to rob an Ann Arbor
woman Christmas Eve by punching her
in the face. When he was taken into cus-
tody, Mitchell was wearing a pair of
bloody gloves that caused police to in-
vestigate his possible involvement with
the Ann Arbor sexual assaults.
"As I was walking, my hands was
cold, and I looked over to the ground,
and I noticed a pair of knit, white cotton
gloves like similar type of cotton gloves
that I once owned a set of," Mitchell tes-
tified in his defense. "I just slapped them
on my hands and stuck my hands inside
my coat and pushed on. I was like
'Thanks. Somebody up there really
cares.
Mitchell said he started coming to the
Ann Arbor area in 1992 to play on an
Ypsilanti softball team. During that time,
he met his current girlfriend, Angela
Moore, who helped him get around the
city because of hig lack of reliable transi
portation.
"In 1992, I never walked at all,"
Mitchell testified. "When I was up here
in Ann Arbor - everywhere I went -
Angela took me."
The prosecution tried to show that
the defendant was a pedestrian familiar
with the city. Mitchell contradicted him-
self by later saying he often walked the
streets of Ann Arbor.
"If I came up Liberty (Street), *
would not go back the same way 7
came,"Mitchell said. "I almost never take
the same way twice."
