BEGINNERS LUCK There is an old cliche which states that first impressions ore lasting impressions. This year ' s frosh experienced, or rather suffered through, a week of lasting impressions of G.S.C. A few of the campus events which are a part of the Glassboro beginning are worth discussing. On September seventh and eighth, days of infamy for some poor freshmen, Glassboro State College welcomed its resident and commuting members of the Class of 1973. All frosh were promptly made identifiable by traditional dinks and placards. An I.D. cord was issued which insured the student that he would be a name and not a number for the next four years. Schedules, always a welcome sight in September, were distributed over the period of nine short hours of constant standing and then they were very quickly altered. Knowledgable sophomores led Little Brothers and Sisters around campus on tours of such well-known sites as Walden Pond, the third tree behind Linden Hall, and the trail to Gateway. Sadly enough, many of the new friendships which began during this time were quickly terminated when classes started. 9
