"After the year is over, man, I just got to get out and go somewhere," said junior Benjamin McMaster. Many students took advantage of the summer months off to travel to places they've never seen before. 4 This summer I took a road trip to Iowa of all places. I wanted to visit my best friend from high school who was going to school out there. It wasn't the most exciting place in the world to go to, but just being with my friend made it fun and worthwhile," said junior Annie Hundley. Others enjoyed the comfort of familiarity, and returned home or to old personal, favorite locations. "This summer I went to my friend's house in Montana. We spent about two weeks just lounging around, fishing and swimming in the rivers there. It was pretty relaxing, and a nice break from the usual," said junior Todd Keller. No matter where a student went during the summer, many felt that they had to do whatever it took to enjoy the long vacation. Once "the real life" starts, four month vacations will only exist in most students' memories. — LeifCoorlim top: Seniors Krin Caldwell and Kilean McDonald stop for a quick pose in front of he camera while visting Dublin, Ireland.

Summer Trips s During the last week of August, 626 entering freshmen packed their CD collections, clothes and computers and headed to the Bluff for a weekend-long Orientation. The new arrivals were greeted with a seemingly endless schedule of icebreakers, socials and events designed to ease the college transition—and with an endless list of new names, places and faces to remember. "I liked meeting all the great, nice, friendly people—and then forgetting their names," said freshman Manny Duenas. Home base groups familiarized new students with the university, allowing students to meet their classmates and ask questions in a small setting. "I really liked my two home base group leaders, Tara and Scott. They still have plans for our group—to cook dinner for a family at Doernbecher," said Lindsay Miller. The class of 2003 gambled themselves into debt during Casino INite, raised the roof at the Orientation dance, and established long-lasting friendships during home-base group meetings. The freshmen left their inhibitions at the door during Playfair, a night of zany icebreakers. Orientation activities also gave returning students the chance to mingle with the newest Pilots. "I had a superb time basking in the sun with the other Orientation crew members, deviously corrupting unsuspecting freshmen," said sopho more Christina Moore. — Ali Ryan "\ expected it to be just ^v like the movies.

Stu.l.-nt Life SOCIAL LIFE LIFE OUTSIDE UP What would college be if it were only the relentless cycle of classes, stud) ing, sleeping (hopefully!) and exams? No mat ter how important studies were to students at I P, neailv every one found at least some time to indulge in the finer aspects of college: social life. "The best part of college was the people. Alter we re out of here, the times we had and the things we did when we weren't in ('lass are what well remember. I had so much fun on the weekends, partying atid hanging out with all m\ friends. That's what college is all about." said freshman Lindsay Miller. Off-campus parties were always a popular place to be. But a few encounters with Public Safety and the Portland Police led to tighter monitoring of these social gatherings. Since UP resides in the heart of residential North Port land, nearby restaurants and businesses that cater to the college crowd were sparse. Some students chose to spend time downtown or in trendy areas such as the Hawthorne and Pearl districts. "1 had a friend that lived near Northwest 23rd. We used to always go down there and get coffee and just hangout. It's sueh a cool part of town and no matter what time you're there on a weekend, it's always bustling," said junior Sara Ogle. — Leif Coorlim Top: Intent OD their game, seniors Patrick \ho\e: Senior Stephanie Egbers, junior- McDonald.

Social Life a 9 RIVER RUN/FALL FEST THE RIVER OF TIME River Hun's sellout crowd of 400 boarded the Portland Spirit for a late-night eruise filled with friends, food and fun. Inside, dancers crowded the floor, grooving to Big Time Hosie's mix of original songs and elassie covers. "I thought it was really cool how they had the band on the second floor. You really got to see them up close and personal, and they played good musie," said freshman Jake McLeod. On the outside upper deck, attendees mingled with old friends, made new ones, and watched the lighted landscape of downtown Portland pass by."I felt like the event was a huge success.*' said CPB director Scott West. "The River Hun continues to be a sueessful event for incorporating the freshman class with returning students. I can't think of a better way to get the year started!" Another great fall event is Fall Fest. Complete with country line dancing lessons, a dorm-versus-dorm tug o' war, remote control ear races and free cowboy hats to all, Fall Fest activities enlivened an otherwise ordinary night at the Commons. Popcorn and cotton candy in hand, students played horseshoes, tested their ring-tossing skills, and com peted in pie-eating contests. Though the event was heavily hyped, attendance was lower than expected and a planned hayride was canceled. "I liked the cotton candy because it was pink, but I wish there had been more people there," said junior Kathy Kenny. — Ali Ryan Vbove: Car number (>7 has the lead now. hut car number 32 is a close Top: Fishing for apples is one of the man) fan games students plaj 2nd!
