SOC Expands Program For Freshmen to meet a few upperclassmen at this time along with other incoming freshmen, The first day of the two-day session involves a battery of tests which last un- til 5 p.m.g during the testing period, parents meet administrators and students and learn more about the college. The evening students are invited to a mixer which helps students get better acquainted. Following the dance a good nights sleep is recommended for the fol- lowing days orientation activities, Getting acquainted with departments and campus buildings is the purpose of the second day of orientation. The stu- dent has a slip of paper which must be signed by people such as his adviser and a speech and hearing clinic administrator. A student also fills out his class program for the autumn quarter and has it tallied. Freshman camp is conducted just be- fore the beginning of school for those students who were outstanding leaders in their high schoolsg the camp is held at Camp Crosley on Lake Tippecanoe. The camp provides a meeting place for many of the friends found during the two- day orientation period, and it also gives the students a chance to meet more of the people with whom he will be associ- ating during the next four college years. Dr, Kenneth Collier helped explain to the stu dents some of the problems they will encounter, 1 .

Fraternity members returned to campus two days early to help the freshmen and their parents with the burden of carrying clothes from their cars to the rooms in the residence hallg this is the third year Lamb- da Chi's have escorted women to their new home away from home in the halls. Men were stationed at each of the 10 residence halls waiting for the traffic to beginz as a car pulled up, a cheery Hello and May we help you? was followed by the unloading process which for some women seemed never to endg many wom- en needed a truck to move all of the needs. Since the Student Orientation Corps had planned a full schedule of activities for Sunday, most women were required to be moved into their residences by 4 p.m.g thus, the work was completed by afternoon. In 1959, when the first Operation Suitcase was held, the event proved so popular with the administration, residence hall directors, parents, and freshmen, that the fraternity decided to repeat the project, Another activity sponsored by the Lamb- da Chi's is held in the fall for freshmeng a tea held September 30 gave new women a chance to see a fraternity house. dvr' lfeiletle-r, lie'-. lfilrtlf fied Dave l-lvjnlcvl help tcivselcirn-1 me i shown at Lilcina l-lsll.
