MSU Institutes Summer Orientation During the past summer Memphis State instituted a new program of orientation for its beginning freshmen. Future stu- dents were introduced to MSU and all its workings. Student directors conducted groups of eager-to-be Tigers through the different campus buildings and pointed out the of- fices of campus publications and the deans. Special counseling sessions were held to help freshmen map their courses of study for the fall semester. Thus, when registration rolled around, the freshmen who participated in the program did not have to fight their way through the card center. Their packets were ready and had only to be filled out. Because of the great success of the program, both with stu- dents and their parents, it will continue to be an important feature of MSU. Freshmen meet for a final assembly during orientation. Students listen to hints on how to have a successful college life.
