Registration and Orientation To acquaint freshmen with the academic and social opportunities at Purdue Calumet Campus, orien- tation was held at the National Guard Armory, September 10. Ken Goodwin, Student Congress presi- dent, officiated the program, and welcomed new students into the University. Introducing the faculty officers and advisors, Dean Carl Elliott emphasized his hope that each student find his goal in the community, and offered aid to assist in this challenge. A Student Handbook was given out to familiarize the reader with the school’s history, regulations, and traditions. Following the path of tradition, Frosh beanies were dis- tributed and worn. Orientation day ended after a re- ception sponsored by the clubs and social groups wishing to encourage prospective membership.

D. Anderson, a Purdue engineering graduate of the Class of 1924, who lived and worked in Hammond as Vice President of the Northern Indiana Public Service Company and served on the Board of Trustees of Purdue University from 1951 until his untimely death in 1956.

- Normal regulations of juris- prudence were suspended the first two weeks of the school year, when sophomore Kangaroo Court con- vened to hear the offenders of the ‘‘wear beanies at all times’’ rule. Af- ter being fully oriented, freshmen were expected to wear their name- tagged beanies until the frosh-soph tug oO’ war; the winners decided the final initiation day. Offenders and a few “‘innocents’”’ were presented before the scrutiny of mop-wigged judges, whose penal- ties ranged from pushing pennies with the nose to taking a swim in the goldfish pond.
