♦iAJa;. . .v STUDEa T LEAOEStS sat on split logs and absorbed sunshine and instruction during the three-day conference held at Bryce Canyon. Frosh Orientation Preparation for college life baffled students. Wandering around confused, but eager to learn, more than 3,000 freshmen attended three days of orientation exercises the week before classes began in order to take aptitude tests, listen to advice from student and admin- istration leaders and to get the feel of college life. By having all this activity condensed into such a short period of time, the new student has a preview of col- lege ' s hustle and bustle and is broken in by the time studies begin the next week. Some freshmen had attend- ed an early orientation session during July. NEXT PLEASE, is heard several hundred times a day as the new students line up to have pictures taken for student cards which will admit them to the various activities of the school 25

Leadership Week Leaders got preview of year in week ' s activities. For the second year in a row, Bryce Canyon was selected as the preschool gathering spot for student leaders to hear inspirational talks, exchange ideas for the coming year and relax in informal surroundings before beginning the school year ' s duties. More than 100 student leaders, ranging from Executive Council members to club leaders and from pub- lications editors to special events chairmen, heard talks by Dr. Henry L. Isaksen, student coordinator, and Dr. Wesley P. Lloyd, dean of students. Most prominent roles were taken by student leaders themselves, however. These repre- sentatives explained workings of their areas in the student- body structure and . how individuals and organizations should go about organizing facilities. Various leaders also explained how to work with students and how to organize committees for staging activities. All was not work, how- ever, as leaders watched a Student Program Bureau show, took trek into scenic depths of Bryce Canyon and spent leisure time renewing friendships of the year before. The group spent two days at the park before returning to Prove. ARMED WITH BOOKS and sometimes stares of boredom, Freshmen stand in orientation sessions and prepare for year of study, play.
