USC's Student Orientation Leaders say they want to
give something back to the people who helped them adapt
to college.
"A lot of people have helped mc out, and I want to
reciprocate as much as possible before I graduate," said
Terrence Manigault, a marketing/management junior
and 1988 Student Orientation Leader.
Manigault and 16 other USC Student Orientation
Leaders will do just that this summer by leading incominR
freshmen during orientation.
To get a jump on the fun, the student orientation
leaders participated in the Southern Regional Orientation
Workshop held April 8 through 10 and hosted by
Mississippi State University at Starkville, Miss.
Under the leadership of Harrison Greenlaw, director of
orientation, and Sam McDadi and Jeff Takac, graduate
coordinators, the 16 students embarked on the 10-hour
trip to the Mississippi State workshop.
The workshop consisted of competitions in song, spirit,
skit, College Bowl and overall performance.
The USC team received awards in four of the five
iC5.
USC placed second among some 60 schools in overall
performance throughout the workshop.
USC's Student Orientation Leaders placed second in
Brainstrain (College Bowl), fourth in spirit and fourth in
skit.

Former USC leader John Herron received the 1987 Student
Leadership Award for the Southeastern Region.
"We went into the conference with energy and all
Carolina's spirit," Manigault said.
The orientation leaders begin work early this summer
? with parents and students armed with every possible
question. But the orientation leaders arm themselves with
every possible answer.
"We basically know everything about this campus,"
said Buffy Schwegler, a psychology sophomore and orientation
leader.
Student Orientation Leaders are required to take a class
in which they learn everything from all the undergraduate
and graduate colleges and what degrees they offer to what
every office is in the Russell House, Schwegler said.
The Mississippi State workshop included about six sessions
per hour on such topics as "Student Orientation
Leader recruitment" and "how to be a better leader,"
said Kim Sousa, an advertising junior.
Peer advising is another program. During the fall
semester, the leaders will advise new freshmen who have
questions or problems.
"We will be working office hours next semester, and if
a freshman has a problem or a question, they can come
1 in," Sousa said.
When the students get their full of being "beaten to
