The committee followed an organized program of activities to help foster in the new students a greater knowledge and understanding of their classmates, faculty rules, and procedure of college life. Freshman Day consisted of the new student body members being welcomed by speeches. An evening program, on the same day, gave the Frosh an oppor- tunity to display their unknown and hidden talents through social mixers, dances, musical and comedy programs. For the ensuing three weeks, the Fresh- men obeyed the wishes of the upper- classmen and tipped their green frosh caps to other students, to be recognized in their so-called low status. The orienta- tion committee held sports events and other scheduled meetings for the new- comers and supervised the election of their class officers. N.. , ff... ,- Seated: G. Klink, M. Kozma, K.
