it Veuf Schpl Ifeaf And now the fun begins. After weeks, days, or hours of blissful expectation and uncertain anticipation, the freshmen arrive, bringing with them their hopes, fears and used textbooks that aren ' t being used any more. What they ' ll meet they know not, but whatever it is, during those first few hours, they feel sure they can hurdle any obstacle that happens to come their way, unless of course it hap- pens to be an upperclassman. The big whirl all began for the frus- trated frosh at an assembly held Septem- ber 8. From that time on, they were pulled into a whirlpool of events designed to get them thoroughly oriented in the ways and wiles of college life, or else to Topped with the troditionol green beanies and com- fortably settled in the library, these freshman girls settle down for a long quarter of study.
