y? Hii ' i ' - -i- ' ! ' ' . ' . Rush, Tours, Frosh Camp Help Orient BU Newcomers Another summer ended all too quickly for the Greek sorority mem- bers who returned to the Butler cam- pus to hove another go at it. All along West Hampton Drive and Sun- set, active members of the seven na- tional sororities on Butler ' s campus, piled out of overloaded cars into sweltering houses even before August had faded into the background. In spite of the heat lethargy and some crepe-hanging national journal- ists who had predicted a lack of interest and resulting decline in Greek membership, rush week ran smoothly and successfully. Another year was under way. Next in line for freshman was Orientation Week. Tours of the li- brary and planetarium served as jogging practice as well as informa- tion sessions. Preliminary sessions with counselors and deans were next, and the Presidents reception, the tra- ditional soiree followed. The YM-YWCA sponsored Fresh- man Camp, which came in for its share of mosquitoes and volleyball, spelled finis for a memorable week introducing hundreds of Butler new- comers to the joys, sorrows and frus- trations that are synonymous with the University. Once class begins, it ' s back to the books tor the butleriles. The silence of the Clowes Hall, top left, carpeting offers a quiet retreat from the many activ the auditorium. Ping-pong ' serves to break upperclas monotony of orientation week.

.t Non-participation Proposal Executes Appeal to Alumni Coming home for Butler alumni wasn ' t quite the same in 1971 as it has been in past years. The student body voted not to participate in any Homecoming activities in an attempt to make on appeal to returning alumni to listen to their pleas for better communication with the ad- ministration and for an understanding of their dissatisfaction with the present status quo. Charity was the main emphasis this year. Housing units sent their house decoration money to various local and national charities. Although the cam- pus looked pretty bare with no house decs or afternoon activities, the week- end wasn ' t lacking in excitement. The Bulldogs stirred up a great deal of it in their victory over the Sycamores at the football game Saturday afternoon and both students and alums enjoyed dances and class reunions Saturday night. Newspaper and radio reporters scanned the campus for coverage on the boycott. Homecoming ' 71 will definitely be one to remember!
