While Hampshire

will be innovative,innovation will not be an end in

itself, and its students will not

be those who are simply at-

tracted by experimentation for

its own sake.

Hampshires students will

have to be abler to handle re-

sponsibility, abler to learn disci-

pline of self in study and cam-

pus life, than most students at

most colleges are expected to

be...[T]hey will be questioning

themselves and the society

they nd themselves in...they

will look for honesty in the val-

ues of society, be contemptu-

ous of fraud when they are sure

that is what it is, be willing to go

down hard roads that make

genuine sense, and be unafraid

to laugh.

Frm The Makg f a Cllege,

by Frakl Patters ad Charles Lgswrth, 1965

Your journey at Hampshire begins with orientation, a time for

you to learn about the college, meet new people, and settle in.The program you are about to take part in is designed to give

you a sense of daily life on campus. Through performances,

presentations, and a variety of activities, you will begin to

experience what it means to be a part of the Hampshire

community.

Orientation leaders are one of your best resources on campus.

They chose to be leaders because they want to help you as you

begin to establish yourself at Hampshiretake advantage of

that! Remember, they are here for you.

As you participate in activities throughout the week, there may

be times where you feel overwhelmed or uncertain. Keep in

mind that orientation is only the beginning. There will be many

more opportunities over the course of the coming semesters for

you to get involved and learn more about Hampshire. My ofcewill reach out to you throughout the year with information and

resources to keep you aware and informed. In the meantime, ask

questions, get involved, and enjoy!

TUESDAY, 9/20filM screening: The hooPing life

a filM By haMPshire aluM, aMy goldsTein

Lcat t be aced

The Hooping Life uncovers the adventures of young mavericks

transformed by the modern resurgence of hula-hooping. The lm opens in

the West Coast underground club scene, where Hoopalicious, a party raver,

transforms a kids toy into a liquid hoop dance. She brings hooping toSouth Central Los Angeles where Tisha, the daughter of a gang leader,

creates an after-school hip-hop-hoop program, providing kids with an

alternative to gangs. Hooping inspires a variety of endeavors. Baxter, the

son of a Southern preacher, develops an offbeat spirituality. Karis, a post-

modern tranny, opens eyes and minds worldwide with gender-bending

burlesque. This character-driven lm captures the unfolding of a vibrant

subculture, that much like skateboarding and breakdancing, is a way of life.

The Hooping Life is a story of risking it all to dance to the beat of your own

drum. The sensation is back! - Shaquille ONeal

In Person: Amy Goldstein, Director; Anouchka Van Riel, Producer; Tisha

Marina, hooper from South Central LA; Hoops will be available for audience

participation!
