1973-1974 School Term Begins Freshman students were introduced to college life the first week. During orien- tation, faculty and upperclassman advi- sors aided the new students in making out class schedules as well as attempting to adjust to dorm life. President Wilder ' s cookout for freshmen on Sunday at his home climaxed the orientation period. As upperclass students began arriv- ing, the Big L spirit became evident. The traditional opening convocation and flag-raising ceremony marked the begin- ning of Lambuth ' s academic year. The usual hassles of class registration, such as long lines and cancelled classes, con- tinued to plague students, but classes were able to begin on time despite the problems.

Rush Dominates First Week Rush week ended with nearly a hundred Lambuth students pledg- ing themselves to one of the Greek organizations. This year, rush was more compact because sorority and fraternity parties were simulta- neous for the first time in several years. Cheerleader tryouts were held later in the season. Fourteen women and seven men performed both individual stunts and group cheers in the competition. The stu- dent body as a whole watched the tryouts and voted for the ten-mem- ber squad. 30 Campus Life
