There was one disap pointment: the class plan ned for the write-a-thon to coincide with the Oxfam fast in keeping with the theme of world awareness. However, since fewer peo ple were eating in the cafeteria that day, the usual heavy traffic through Founders' Hall was substantially reduced thus eliminating the signigicant number that would join the activities in Dana Lounge. S.O.S. by Doug Page The Student Orientation Service (5.0.5.) has begun accepting applications from students for positions on the orientation staff for next year. Application is open to all students cur rently enrolled who will be at Guilford during the 1988-89 school year. In the past, the staff has consisted of approximate ly 45 students. Each member of the staff is given the opportunity to lead an orientationDS group of about 15-20 students, helping them to get to know the school and each other during the first few weeks of school. The student groups leaders also work with the IDS professors in helping their freshmen through the registration process. As an S.O.S. staff member, students also help with the actual check in process for both new and returning students. S.O.S. members give Nevertheless, at least 90 people stopped by throughout the day and churned out 180 letters. Comer Gaither, leader of Guilford College Amnesty International, was satisfied with the work that he would have otherwise coordinated.

He said that the class had "a different approach and a new level of energy." Jeannie Huskins has directions to lost students and parents, give campus tours, make students I.D.'s, and also help out in the Business Office. S.O.S. group leaders often develop lasting friendships through their direct relationships with the freshmen. S.O.S. member Susan Lindsay says, "It's really great to meet the new people and to make new friends so early in the year." Many of the students who have volunteered their time and energy for S.O.S. have enjoyed it so much that they have returned for a second or third year. Currently, there are at least six students on the staff who are serving for their third consecutive year. "It's a lot of hard work, but it is fun too. And it is good to know that I have helped someone in the process," says Rick Lancaster about his experience with S.O.S.

She says, "I bet you four or five people in the class join [Amnesty In ternational], and the rest will at least come and write letters in write-a thons." Even in the context of a one-time event, Huskins was glad to see her class making an impact on the rest of the school. She commented that usually on campus it is the up perclassmen that are recruiting, informing, and leading the freshmen.

They also get an official Orientation T-shirt which is easily spottable by freshmen, and their parents. Selection for S.O.S. will begin shortly after Christmas break.
