"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 i Don't Panic.!

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."
