I ' m sorry but this section is closed—I ' m sorry but this section is closed—I ' m sorry but this After being thoroughly welcomed the new stu- dents are taken over by the orientation committee to be familiarized with the campus. Tours, place- ment tests, and interviews with faculty advisors are on the agenda. Also during orientation, Chan- cellor and Mrs. Williams graciously receive new- comers with a coke party in their home. Following orientation the students pack their gear for their first major encounter of professor versus student , more widely known as registra- tion. In preparation for this campaign the Health Department inspects the internal arrangement of each student. Next in this complicated process is the filling out of numerous cards, which require details ranging from the date of your grand- mother ' s birth, to whether or not your parents are broad-minded. Then students, time and again, figure perfect schedules only to have them changed by either deans or professors. Money is extracted from each student, and finally the battle-weary veterans are photographed for I. D. cards. Freshmen are herded into Fulton Chapel where they are divided into orientation groups. At least a few freshmen mind their manners while taking tion tests even if their heads do get cold.
