Questions and Answers . . . DePaul Orients Facing a new world, with wider horizons and challeliging 1 t goals, could prove quite confusing for freshmen were it hot r ; for the Universityis extensive,we11-thou ght-out orientation program. Successfully completing the transition from high school students to college students, the program makes incoming freshmen aware of what to expect in college, and how to prepare for it. This years orientation was expanded to include a more comprehensive view of the school and its services. F ilms presenting the various facets of the University, and uMonsieur Vincentii were shown, acquainting the students with the school i l and the founder of the Vincentians. The Signpost, which i ; contains the school rules, the calendar for the year, and the 3 ; SAC constitution, was distributed to the freshmen along with I the orientation issue of The DePaulia. After taking tests on the first day, which the University uses - in personal counseling, the new-comers attended the Honors Convocation on Wednesday, at which Clair M. Roddewig, ! chairman of the Lay Board of Trustees, spoke. The mystifying a process of registering for classes was undertaken on Thursday and Friday of Orientation Week, as the freshmen wandered around Alumni Hall, then hooded the bookstore, bringing e f the week to a close. it Orientation, however, continues in the classroom, where once a week they have the opportunity to investigate more closely the environment they have chosen for the next four years. Speaker for the Honors Convocation, Clair M. Roddewig, is a well-known Chicagoan who is currently serving as President of the Board of Education.

Incoming freshmen and returning students fuss over classes, counseling, and cash. Above: the complete form-filler starts his class schedule form.

New procedures all but eliminated mass registration; overheated rooms jammed with students listening to detailed instruction on form hlling for the seventh or eighth time; and, worst of all, the thrill of being the last one admitted to a class before it is closed. However, there were still many trial schedules to be tilled out, and consultations with advisors who, for the first time, had to approve all trial schedules before hnal registration. If you were lucky, spelled your name right on the forms, put down the correct student number, and didntt walk under any ladders while the forms were being processed, you got the classes you wanted and with no conflicts. Unfortunately, getting the classes they wanted didnt help some students. A The problems of future teachers require the particular attention of counselors. Here prospective education students discuss schedule requirements with the School of Education counselor. , ,,A.,..,,'.:,.....,- i v .- .m
