One of the many activities during Orientation Week drew these freshman boys to the Greek theater. A really high class orchestra entertains the dogs with smashing success at an Orientation Week as- sembly. . . . participate in Orientation Week. An exciting round of parties and programs, it is designed to in- troduce the newcomers to LSU. The girls are taken under the wing of the Freshman Advisors who guide them through the week. The boys are taken under the wing of the military who just guide them. The dogs attend panels and assemblies to give them an idea of the meaning and purpose of a university. They are entertained by the Student Centers and learn of the religious side of campus life. Water- melon in abundance is served at the YW-YMCA party following the Pigskin Preview, where frosh meet gridiron members. Bald heads and pony tails are paired off for the events under the watchful eyes of the advisors. Probably the most participated-in event of the week is the physical-taking party. Some peo- ple may disagree that it ' s a party, but participated-in it is. Long lines of nervous freshmen wait impa- tiently to get through, hoping that maybe it ' s all a bad dream. While the freshmen are still in the party mood, they are whirled through . . .
