New freshman girls are appraised by over anxious males in the disguise of suitcase-carrying, civic-minded bellboys wanting to do their part. F reshmen, Fire-eaters, and a Lull Student Senate President Bob Fussell and Student Body President Alan Sugg greet new students in the Union Lounge during the ' meet-the-wheels ' party. 30 The new Greek pledges moved in and began to feel as if things were not the same as during Rush Week. The pledges began to get regimented and the freshmen began to get oriented. They met the officals who ran the University, plus the student leaders and the campus politicians. They got the opportunity to meet a football coach headed for the Southwest Conference championship and the conference’s most successful basketball coach. The County Fair was in town and anyone who was interested could see a fire-eating dwarf and a girl who was bored at the knives thrown at her. The football players were in town and the student saw a preview of the SWC champions in action in the Red-White game. Registration once more provoked confusion in the Men’s Gym. Students encountered the raised tuition fees of $100 and the out-of-state fee of $135 for the first time. Final enrollment figures showed that the University was unexpectedly below the preceding year. Students received a preview of a winning season to come at the annual Red-White game played before a lively crowd at Razorback Stadium. Senior Bill Kyser carries the ball through a closing hole.
