Preparing for a semester of col- lege means something different to each individual. As the students began arriving on campus in late August, some, particularly Fresh- men, were filled with anxiety about the ordeal of registering and moving into the dormitories. Others were excited, enthusiastic, or even indifferent.

Monday morning came - a new semester started - and the stu- dents looked forward, whether en- thusiastically or indifferently, to four months of college life. yr r is-af' For the Freshmen, registration took extra time.

The freshmen will not soon forget that week - six days of wearing beanies, working for signatures, and barking for upperclassmen. It was a memorable expe- rience, and a profitable one, most freshmen will ad- mit. Dog Days helped them to get acquainted with the campus and the older students. lt also helped upper- classmen to get to know the new students - each freshman had to wear an eighteen-inch sign in the shape of his home state with vital information about himself printed on it. The freshmen were to get forty signatures on their signs by the end of the week. Some dogs had to work hours for upperclass auto- graphs. All dogs participated in Dress-up Day and Sloppy Day. ln addition, they attended a barbeque at the ranch at the end of the week. The activities, the work, and even the humiliation helped the freshmen to feel a little more at home.
