The act of beginning a new col- lege year was, as every year, com- plicated by just about every new experience you can imagine. New students were asked to learn, understand, and appreciate all of the rules, regulations, and numer- ous traditions peculiar to this in- stitution. This year, as every year before, was begun with the infa- mous and trying Freshmen Orientation. Graham Hall became a process- ing center for new students with freshmen crowded around various tables while parents and adminis- trators chatted over refreshments. At one of many Welcome to Hampden-Sndney speeches, freshmen fidgeted anxiously in their seats as they tried to endure the sweltering heat while dressed in the obligatory blue blazer and tie. As freshmen Lucius Breeden so eloquently stated, Man, there are enough blue blazers here to kill someone! Do you remember that day? lt seemed that everyone was there to help you move in. Your always dependable resident advisor was there to greet you and aid you in your transition to dorm life. Joining clubs and organizations was but one of the many commit- ments and decisions which faced the freshmen. Which to join, the Polish Eating Club or the College Republicans? Decisions, decisions. 20 Eveixf' RESHIVIEN ORIENTATION REFLECTIONS ON BEOINNINGS 3441 l I, .,1' All of these new experiences seemed to require a lifetime to ad just to, but soon we realized that we were going to make it, that these adjustments seem quite pet- ty in the face of this wonderful new life we had begun on that hot August day.

Earlier in the day Friday, former Secretary of State Dean Rusk gave a stirring address, following his being awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws. Throughout it all, there was CBS, camera at the ready. The CBS Hampden-Sydney visit proved to be an experience for all those concerned, an experience that most will never forget. When the segment is aired, the nation and the world will get a two-minute glance at Hampden-Sydney Col- lege, a glance which artfully cap- tures all that the College is about. What the piece will not capture, however, are those four short days that CBS turned its Eye toward usg it cannot capture the excitement that this event stirred on campus. This is Lem Tucker reporting I have heard many times since the last I-lampden-Sydney scene was shot, and each time I hear it I recall with a sense of pride Tucker's last words to me: I have never felt so welcomed as I have been here at Hampden- Sydney, thank you.
