We Shake Hands With College The ODK circle is cleaned once a year. In September a humble Freshman gets the job. Concluding the organized events of their own week with registration on Thursday, the fresh then called upon their initiative to plunge into the collegi- ate atmosphere through informal Union contacts, di- versions like ping-pong and pool, jukebox dancing, nocturnal discourses in the dorms (commonly known OS bull-sessions ) and many other activities. The rapid fire run of events of the entire Fresh- man Week was to be an eternal source of nostalgic to the class of ' 62, who would remember it as the seven days in which they shook hands with college. retilKf T The Student Court wanted to make sure nothing happen- ed to our worthy President. A copoble Freshman was given the honor. Guilty! In the name of John Marshall, we the members of this Supreme Court, sentence you to . . . Not specking to an upper- classman is a serious offense.

Freshmen guides receive their daily instructions from head guide, Ann Crockett, as they pre- pare to meet their groups for those campus tours or maybe a placement test. ■J -, ' p; ■ You should know these few details before going up to register. 22 FRESHMAN ACTIVITIES Like the time machine of science-fiction lore, Freshman Week transformed the Frosh from the juvenility of the past to the intellectual, academic maturity of their futures. Embodying a record-break- ing peace time enrollment, the 1400 yearlings pro- phesied the college career of a class of great quality as well as quantity. Basking in the inspiration of the scholastic chal- lenge before them, the freshmen poured out their mentalities on placement tests, later to clear their fogged cerebrums by taking part in student union mixes, variety shows, and square dances — the plan- ned social activities of the busy week. Registration is one of the most harrowing tasks to be per- formed by a freshman.

STUDENT UNION Fun, food, and friends are said to be the main at- tractions of the Shawkey Student Union. Both students and faculty seek the intangible and tangible contents of this familiar white structure as a deviation from the grind of studies and appoint- ments. Dancing, ping-pong or a session of chop sticks on the piano are common occurrences in the Student Union. If one is hungry, then the inhabitants of Marshall ' s campus are aware of the provisions of the fountain division of the Union One of the main features and best sellers is the five cent cup of coffee. Downhearted, friend hunting, or just looking for the answer to a chemistry problem, the Union is the place to go. On Wednesday night, the Union is literally jumping as dance fans swing fo the music of the lotest records or to a live bond. One hamburger and a coke, please, is the order often heard at lunch time or in the late afternoon as students crowd in the snack Oreo to get that extra energy needed by busy people. Mass con- fusion and crowded booths seem to odd to the tostiness of that homburger ond coke. 24
