TOPS eases stadlennlts ie to CaroMim
By Lane Mitchell

Carolina Testing and Orientation
Program Sessions, TOPS, is a
summer orienation program
designed to ease incoming freshman
and their parents into their new
lifesyle at Carolina.
Orientation has always been a
student run program. In the past it
had primarily been a fall program
taking place the first week the
freshmen arrived on campus.
This is the first year for the summer
orientation, a program which allows
for a more gradual adjustment to
Carolina. "The TOPS program was
extremely helpful. This program
removed some of the apprehension
that accompanies a new environmet,
said incoming freshman Paul John
son from Greensboro.
The summer orientation also
provides a less stressful situation in
which to take the two required
placement tests, math and foreign
language. "Anything that allows a
freshmen to take one of these
placement tests and not be under a
lot of stress is a great advantage,"
said orientation assistant Jeff
Strickland.
The TOPS program is run by 10
commissioners - appointed in
November and 18 assistants
appointed in April. The 28 staff
members were chosen by last year's
orientation staff.
Sixty-six applied for the 18 orien
tation assistant positions, with the
final selections made by the the
commissioners. We chose people
who exhibited a solid scholastic base,

were outgoing, creative and adapta
ble," orientation commissioner Tripp
Doepner said.
Most of the orientation staff,
commissioners and assistants, had
been involved in orientation in their
previous years at Carolina; all have
been specially trained to aid a
student's transition into the
University.
During the summer the orientation
staff lives in Chapel Hill and meets
daily to map out three separate
orientation programs for freshman,
junior transfers, and graduate and
professional students.
"Each of these three groups of
students has a special set of concerns
about their new UNC experience,"
Shirley Hunter, associate dean of
students and director of the TOPS
program. "The orientation staff tries
to pinpoint these concerns and
prepare themselves adequately to
answer any question that a new
student might have about the
University."
According to Hunter, the Univer
sity expects at least 3400 freshmen
this fall, all of whom will attend an
orientation session this summer.
Each orientation day begins at 8:00
a.m. where both students and parents
must register for the day in front of
South Building. They are then able
to take a campus tour or eat a light
breakfast of donuts and juice in Y
Court before attending the Opening
Session in Memorial Auditorium.
This is the last time parents and
students will be together, save lunch,
