MSU's freshmen of 1958 gathered early Monday morning to begin gfienttation Week activities with a convo in the University mea er. The Berlin crisis, DeGaulle's election, Russian moon shots kept things lively on the international scene. Campus politics included mock elections, an organization of independents and a speech by Senator Mike Mansfield. But whether the talk was about revolution in Cuba or the prospects of selling near-beer in The Room , it swung inevitably to this question: who will be the new president of MSU? y. . if Y 5 1 . ,X Vhwtrc, ., 4 FE' t 2 '.

They produced heat, less light and sometimesa even odor such as the row that developed over the stench of a new pulp mill spread over MSU and L Missoula. In other clashes, the Kams 82 Dregs V pulled a shenanigan which provoked the administration i into forcing official organization on the group. Some clashes at were less conclusive in result: THE KAIMIN brandished editorial fists at ASMSU President Larry Pettit about his high-handed methods, at y the Athletic Department for its use of students funds, and at the Health Center for its dispensing of aspirin as a cure-all. For its news reporting of the McFarland issue, THE KAIMIN was given first prize iii national competition. Alumnus Ken Neils kept up the McFarland issue with a report on dissidents who dominate the University. Montana Forum discussed 1 changing the name of the University-a move which was not connected with the Neils report or the Grizzly's gridiron performance. Homecoming had its queen CSherrie Shaurette, at leftj and an advancedlt guard of spray-painting Bobcats had haircuts, U shaped. A sign, a turn around, and one of MSU's many broken rules. 1x WELCDME 'UG - MONTANA 'f STATE 'UNNERSITY' PLEASE D NOT PARK IN TH S AREA

While one MSU professor attempted to describe the ideal president, and another talked of MSU progress, a freshman from Big Timber charged some members of the English department with teaching atheism and pornography . Neils issued another report . The basketball team played a hit and m season but swimmers swam swiftly and gave promise of breaking still more records.
