Our faculty is only too willing to help. In previous years never lias there been such a well-arranged week as has been worked out this past season. There is always one initia- tion to college that never fails to do its part to bring the freshmen into a closer bondage. The administering of the entrance examina- tions. which are more commonly called the freshmen tests,” helps in the great work of a greater and more unified campus life.

HOW IT ALL BEGINS The lust ftarl of enrollment Freshmen (fcltim I heir enroll- ment hooks checked Kelly, Dr. R. T. McGrath, and Miss Maude Gorham we had a successful reproduction of I he new plan freshman w eek. The Freshman ( ’eremonial began with a dinner which was served in Ihe Coliseum. The dinner originally was to be served al Cody Commons, but since our freshman en- rollment totalled nearly four hundred, we could hardly expect to serve them there. The upper classmen humbly bowed at the feel of their under classmen, when they con- sented to serve the throng of new students. I wonder just how appreciative they really were, for some of them seemed to gel a great deal of enjoyment by calling them “servant” and similar names. Our upper classmen were only too willing to bow to them for with such humility they were given a good opportunity to sun ey I he group as a w hole and I he ( ireeks lost no time in eyeing the prospective rushees. long with this dinner, there was a short program in charge of Dean gnew. Miss Mae Paul, and Mr. Beckhelm. few stragglers who did not belong al the dinner slipped in fora few moments to hear the freshmen make their lirsl attempts al school loyally and raise I heir young voices in the school ant hem. Later, a convocation program was held and was participated in by James Wiekizer, repre- sentative of Ihe student council, and Presi- dent C. K. Rarick. who addressed the convo- cation. I he second session of convocation look place Tuesday morning in Pieken Hall al which time information about the college curricula was the prevailing theme. ' Ihe main information was given by Dean Floyd B. Lee and a little prep talk was given by B. B Macgregor on l he well established I heme of budgeting of time, followed by a short talk on extra-curricular problems by Dr. K. IL McCartney, ller Ihe views of these very prominent men were given, a campus inspec- tion took place. I he campus was div ided into fifteen different points of interest to students and each particular place had an expositor chosen from members of the faculty. Tuesday afternoon the men and women w ere divided into separate convocation groups for further instruction and information. Fol- lowing tin afternoon convocation there was a stunt program in the Coliseum arena under the direction of Prof. ,1. B. Start. Miss Eliza- beth Barbour. Miss Geneva Millet t. Miss Jessie Pearce, and Prof. B. Xlbertson. Perhaps the most popular thing about this parly was the dance that was held immedi- ately after the refreshments were served. ednesday . of course, vv as enrollment day and the freshmen were divided into fifteen different groups and each group was assigned to a different enrollment place under an as- sistant and faculty advisor. Here the student’s problems were ironed out and Ihe semester s work was assigned according to reipiiremenls and hours. The results of the freshmen test determined just how many of our college freshmen were to be exempt from the survey courses. list of 121 names was to be Page 17
