President ' s Reception Five hours with four thousand incoming students? This is the honor President Kerr and Chancellor Strong had at this year ' s President ' s Reception. The annual fall affair for the new students encompassed the whole student union from the bowling alley to the ballroom. The procedure followed was for the freshmen to line up (of course!). After being presented to the reception line, the student met a member of the senior class who in turn introduced the student to a member of his own class. The students were then on their own to dance to Ray Hackett ' s music or to use any of the facilities in the union for free. All in all it was a fine to the campus life for new students. The music of Ray Hackett entertained those who attended the Chancellor Strong and President Kerr head the reception line. 25 Freshmen Women are introduced to their escorts.

All-U Weekend The Cal rooting section symbolized the spirit of All-U Weekend with its card stunts. This year Berkeley was the site for All-U Weekend, the traditional gathering for students from all University campuses. Formal celebration started at a University meeting, with President Clark Kerr making the principal address. Preceeding the formal meeting, fun began with a coffee hour in the Student Union. The Straw Hat Band added to the noise and confusion. The senior class held its traditional All- U meeting at La Vals. Friday night Berkeley students rallied in the Greek theater, and later were entertained by the Red Garter Band in the Bears Lair and the music of Wild Willie Moore in Pauley Ballroom. Highlight of the weekend was Saturday ' s game. Despite the Bruins ' win, the Cal football team and the rooting section refused to give up. Open houses after the game wound up All-University Weekend festivities. Keen rivalry always exists between Cal and UCLA. President Kerr delivered the principal address 26
