Orientation team
UCF is looking for a few good
men and women. The 1992
orientation team, students
selected to serve as hosts and
guides to incoming students
(freshmen and transfer), is being
formed.
This is one of the most sought-
after positions on campus.
Applicants are interviewed by
peers and staff, then interviewed
by a committee of faculty and
staff. Interviewers look for
personable, energetic students
who enjoy working as part of a
team with a sincere desire to
assist new students.
This year, 30 students are
needed to serve on the team.
Applications will be available at
informational meetings in the
Student Center Auditorium.
Interested students should attend
one of the following sessions in
the SCA: Monday, Jan. 26, 7 p.m.,
or Tuesday, Jan. 27, at 10 a.m. and

Just the facts
• What: UCF/Altamonte
Mall Scholarship Gala
• Where: Altamonte Mall
• When: Sunday, Feb. 23,
6:30-9:30 p.m.
• Why: To benefit the
Alumni Trust Scholarship
Fund
• Featuring: The Coasters
and food from 40 of Central
Florida's best restaurants
• Cost: $25 advance for
general public; $12.50 for
alumni, faculty, staff and
students; $30 at the door
restaurants while listening to music. There will also be a
silent auction (featuring 100 items) and live mannequin
modeling. Advance tickets are $25 for the general public;
$12.50 for alumni, faculty, staff and students. Tickets are
$30 at the door.
At least 2,500 people are expected to attend.
"When you consider the food and The Coasters, at $25
a ticket it's a bargain. But for UCF people, when it's two
for the price of one, the gala is the bargain of the year,"
said Candice Crawford, UCFs director of community
relations.
She said proceeds will go toward a $100,000 milestone,
which would qualify the alumni trust for a $50,000 match
from the state. In 1991, the gala netted $16,000.
The gala serves another purpose, too, Crawford said: It
gives UCF more community exposure.
"It used to be that people thought of UCF as this small,
little university way out in the country," she said. "We're
doing so much now, and so many people in the
community have been touched by UCF, that we can't be
thought of that way anymore.
"The gala is another way for the university to touch
those in the community."
Those attending the gala can enter the mall at the
entrance at the Bell Tower. Valet parking will be
available. Tickets are available at the UCF Kiosk,
university relations office, Altamonte Mall information
booth and the Florida Mall information booth.
