Probably as old as the university system itself is the feeling of frustra- tion and bewilderment which is ex- perienced by freshmen and other new students at the beginning of every academic year. To combat this feeling, the babes- in-arms of the Class of 1964 last fall took advantage of two get- acquainted programs, the New Stu- dent Orientation Conference at Camp Krdman, Mokuleia. and the New Stu- dent Orientation Week held on cam- pus during registration week.

The realities of a college educa- tion were brought to the fore by three informative sessions that ex- amined “College—A New experi- ence.” College—A Self Discovery. and “College—A Responsibility.
