LEFT. Physical check-ups for freshmen give them I1 preview of Watkins Hospital. RIGHT. Freshmen obtain n new perspective toward their educa- tion while attending a KU Preview, and first see the complex operation of their university. For the first time in 14 years, freshmen in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences escaped enrollmentis long lines and closed classes by pre-enrolling at three-day summer Previews. Eight Previews sessions supervised by Max Fuller, as- sociate director of admissions, acquainted 2,178 new students with academic and social purposes of the uni- versity. Dean of lVlen,s and Dean of Women7s staffs and de- partmental representatives discussed curricular opportuni- ties, and upperclass counselors in previewers' Hashinger Previews 16 I ,sm K Hall offered their impressions of courses and activities. A film following students to classes and on dates, mixers, and a Previews banquet gave new students a taste of KU living. Not only did Previewers take placement examinations, and for the first time check results with KU,s Guidance and Testing Bureau, but they mastered the maze of arrows at Watkins Hospital to get physical evaluations. Other new paths led off the Hill in the direction of the Red Dog, the Village Green, the c'Wheel, the 4'Hawk and the Stables. fPenny Stevenson

It is a fall function open only to transfer students and upperclass Women. This yearls freshmen may not participate in rush until next fall as sophomores. The change, said Janice Whelarl. chairman of Pan- hellenic rush council, is first, to provide sororities with a record of grades and activities for one year instead of one semester, and second, to provide an uninterrupted freshman year. This fall, l3-lt women participated in the upperclass rush period, including an orientation program and in- formal open-house parties during which rushees and sorority members became lietter acquainted. Of the orig- inal number, ll5 pledged. A series of three parties featured skits with costumes, songs, refreshments, and frequently, tours of houses. When the first invitations were issued. each rushee could accept a maximum of five. Prior to two successive parties, three. and finally two houses were selected luv girls for whom respective groups had hid. New pledge classes we1'e announced the following day. fflflary Cathrftine jackson 15
