For the freshman, the first week of college orientation is a confused beginning with new sur- roundings, new faces, new rules and regulations, mass meetings, tests and recreation. The many meetings consist of a Welcome Address by President Spathelf, informative meetings with the academic deans, a reception by the Presi- dent and faculty members, an All College Student Government assembly, and an Activities Open House which acquaints the freshmen with campus organizations, When will it end? What, no needle? Testing sessions, consisting of English, literature, math, and general aptitude tests, seemed long and endless, but were only the beginning of what was to come. Before registration every freshman had a health examination which was not as bad as was ex- pected. Registration began with filling out a multi- tude of forms and cards. The next step was to make out a schedule of classes, a long, tedious process. Having class cards checked and paying tuition and housing fees brought an end to the hectic registration day. Social life was new, but easily adapted to through the friendly atmosphere in the Pug , at dances and shows. During orientation week the despised red and gold beanies, a campus tradition, were worn by all the new freshmen. This first week of a new freshmen's collegiate career, which is full of memories and newly-made friends, will be dim in future years to come but never completely forgotten.
