Students Greet Furman in the Fall Every student greets Furman in the f«» 11 with new ideas and expectancies. I l»e Freshmen meet the Administration and Faculty for the first time and are introduced to new friends and college courses. Upperclassmen begin finishing their basic courses and preparing for tbeir respective vocations by working in their major and minor fields. The beginning of a school year docs not bring with it all studying, however: for no sooner has the weather first begun to change than the Purple I lurricane lakes the field. Freshmen wear their rat caps to lire games and hope for a victory so they can cease being identified as a sea of purple. Pep rallies and the All University picnic provide opportunities to build school spirit and to have I lie .colics meet the men on the hill. Many choices face new students, and upperclassmen as well, when they have an opportunity to join Various organizations, honorary and departmental. Student Oovernment begins its year of jurisdiction, and all Furmanites must learn the rules and regulations. From the first weeks in September organizations begin scouting around to find lovelies to represent them in the annual BONHOMIE beauty contest. Another important event in the fall is the barman Pollies. Religious organizations are introduced to the new students to become a link between them and the local church. The fall BSU party is always a big allair. Work Week, in its second year, is carried on through the work of the VWA. as many students volunteer their services for washing windows or raking leaves. Fall is just the beginning, and lor this reason this season probably belongs primarily to the Freshmen. For all its vitality and renewed spirit it is only a start— a start into a year at Furman.
