FURMAN FAMILY FURMAN FAMILY Every Tuesday at 12:00 p.m. several professors meet at a specified table in the dining hall where they are available for an hour’s informal discussion. The topics have ranged from peacetime draft to What is Liberal arts? and the response has been overwhelming. In fact, at the beginning of the program, bigger tables had to be found for the ever-increasing turnouts. Another popular program, intended for freshmen, is Dialogue. It combines twelve freshmen, a faculty member and an upperclass student into a group. During Orientation, the group meets for the first time in the home of the faculty member. For four weeks, Dialogue groups continue to meet for conversation and fun. One freshman stated. I don't want it to end. Furman University has also planned weekend retreats to promote communication between faculty and students. For example, on October 17-19. Program Board sponsored a weekend at Camp High Rocks in North Carolina. The overall impression, as stated by Dr. L. D. Johnson, was a positive attitude toward the fact that there is a com- munity at Furman. The weekend included conversation, fun and relaxation. So you see, there is quite a lot more to Furman than the daily routine. Tuesday Table. Dialogue and Mountain Weekend all contribute to what we Paladins call the Furman Family. Dr. L. D. Johnson.
