Freshmen get a warm welcome to Cal at the Chancellor ' s reception. getting acquainted Come one! Come all! Meet Chancellor Tien! All students new to Berkeley are invited to join in for a night of dancing and meeting new friends at the Chancellor ' s Reception. Each year Chancellor Tien holds a reception for ail incoming freshmen and junior transfers. It is a chance to meet new people, to dress up, and dance to music provided by a DJ. It provides new students with a friendly, open environment, the main goal of which is to introduce students to new people and to make them feel welcomed. • Upon arrival at the reception, each student is issued a name tag which has also written where that student is from. Students stand in line to wait and see the Chancellor. At the front of the line, each student is paired with a fecult - member who leams a little about the student and can tell the Chancellor something about that student when they meet. At the ver ' front of the line, students are greeted by the Chancellor and Mrs, Tien and welcomed to the University. Next, a senior student takes the new student into the dance room and attempts to introduce them to new people. If all goes well, students are introduced to many new students and, hopefully, make new friends. Food and drinks are also provided after one is tired out from dancing and mingling. • The reception is a one-time oppoaunity for new students to be in a room entirely filled with other students trying to adjust to college life and finding their way around the campus. Many feel similar feelings of excitement mingled with apprehension. The reception gives these students a chance to realize they are not alone and to come in contact with others with whom they can relate. • Copy by Anna Fenner { i 18 life

Without parents constantly nagging, Clean your room! the task is often ignored by students on their own. With their own apartment, students debated between which chores were more neces- sary, cleaning their room or talking on the phone. Photo by Jason Chan 20 life
