The complexities of college deserve serious pondering. New Program Orients Frosh what are the major concerns of new students as they make the transition from high school to university life? How can orientation leaders be trained to be responsive to these problems and to facilitate group discussion? In planning this year ' s program, the orienta- tion steering committee tried to answer these questions. What evolved was a se ries of weekly training sessions for leaders emphasizing group interaction and personal growth. A flexible pro- gram permitted each group to work together to create a free atmosphere for discussion. In many groups, questions about registration and cuts grew into discussions about finding a place for oneself in the university to sex mores to parental pressures. The program was geared to the freshmen, and it was the freshmen who determined the subjects to be discussed. Faces express the successful creation of an informal, free atmosphere in Carl Gilbert ' s group. % ' 1 J6

A speed line for students with five or less items facilitates book- store service. Bookstore: From Chaos to Calm The endless lines and jostled crowds of regis- tration week give way each semester to a similar situation in the University bookstore. The stalwart student who after paying tuition still possesses some energy and money will have to dig deep to find enough strength to master the lines of students in the bookstore. The Student Store stocks all required textbooks, notebooks, school supplies, and gym equipment. Shopping is self-service, and books are conven- iently shelved supermarket-style. The store is geared to the campus community selling every- thing from pennants to paperbacks, razor blades to art prints. From the chaos of registration to the calm that returns after the first few weeks of classes, the school store is as much a part of university life as the texts it houses. Mob scene reigns at the beginning of the semester as stu- dents surge forward in book-buying spree.
