CHAPTER THREE New and Different Zi Freshmen are the important things at Knox during the Hrst few weeks of each school year. They are enrolled, oriented, rushed, partied, and generally mauled by the administration, faculty, and enterpris- ing Greeks. Mr. Car- Q pe'nter, the dean of freshmen, has even .feafm gone so far as to issue a little booklet en- titled My First Two Weeks at Knox College in which bewil- dered frosh can keep track of themselves. Perhaps the best way to tell the story of what happened to the freshmen during these two weeks is to present extracts from one such booklet which an enterprising frosh used as a diary: Monday, September 15 Today was the day. At eight o'clock all freshmen assembled at Beecher Chapel. Then they reported to their respective ad- visors and were given appointments to meet with them later to enroll for classes. Then President Davidson said something about his family and asked all persons who had not enrolled to do so immediately. We were next given our enrollment cards. One thing they especially wanted to impress on our minds was our name. The card asked us this question ten different times. After we had our pictures taken we went to Lake Storey for the annual freshman picnic. The attraction of the day Coutside of the girlsy was the baseball game between the faculty and freshman boys. The freshmen won- it'll probably be the only time in our col- '7!w Rafael lege careers we'll be able to get to first base with the faculty. In the evening we went to Seymour Hall where the Friars gave us the low-down on the extra-curricular ac- tivities at Knox. I guess a similar affair was held for the girls at Whiting with Mortar Board in charge. Tuesday, September 16 In chapel this morning we took two placement tests-one in English and one an intelligence test. This noon rushing started. Whew! Wednesday, September 17 Another test this morning. And rush- ing is now in full swing. Freshmen can definitely not be hermits. Tonight was the pumphandle where we shook hands with ENROLLMENT AND ORIENTATION at the fresh- men's first meeting of the year in Beecher Chapel was plenty complicated. Assistance from faculty advisers like Mr. Stephens, below, was needed and received. The picnic later in the day was more fun. K w 27

Now that ev- erybody knows everybody we can start having classes tomorrow. Friday, September 19 We attended our regular classes today and everyone seemed to be kinda tired. We had our first chapel this morning. Rush- ing is still going strong, but some of the actives don't sing their songs with as much pep as they did on Tuesday. Sunday, September 21 Slept until almost two o'clock recov- ering from 'last dates'-then we gathered in Alumni Hall to sign our preferences and pledge.

Things began to settle down a little, and then, on Tuesday of the next week, the freshmen got their first taste of Survey. As usual, it became a fav- orite subject of conversation, even if not a favorite subject. But Mr. Muelder and his associates had stream- lined the course and removed many of the former pitfalls. By the end of the year the frosh were forced to concede that Survey was undoubtedly one of their most valuable courses. Cer- tainly it gave them a sample of what term papers and outside assignments would be like in uppei-class courses. A week after classes had more or less settled down to normal, the class of 1945 was confronted with green caps, green rib- us I ll PWM 'Me Zzaadlz
