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.

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!

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!
