Large class, new calendar change BU A record 579 freshmen began classes on Sept. 3 last fall, two weeks earlier than in past years. The change, part of the new academic calendar, enabled Butler stu- dents to complete final exams before Christmas vacation, and finish the second semester early in May. Forecasting a successful year for Butler ' s 120th anniversary, the Ad- missions Office anticipated both a large and talented freshman class. Traditional orientation and reg- istration procedures were combined with sorority rush, cheerleader tryouts and many other activities to offer the new students an exciting, if exhaust- ing, week before classes started. The meetings, tours and endless paperwork of registration were some- what alleviated by weekend movies and dances sponsored by various cam- pus organizations, designed to make the new students feel more at home. 20-Student Life
