Academic Procession. Charter Day . In the earlier days of the University it was customary to set aside one day to i be known as Charter Day, to commem- orate the signing of the Charter of the University. More recently it has been found neces- sary to set aside a week so that all eight f campuses might have an opportunity to honor this significant event. This year at Davis Charter Day was doubly significant in that the new Vet- erinary Science Building was dedicated, the construction of which has fulfilled a long-standing need in California. x President Sproul speaks in Rec.

Coed Week One week each semester all social procedures are reversed, and the coeds are loosed on the unsuspecting male -1 population on campus. Various events are held throughout the week, such as a hayride, coke dates, and a Co-Rec night, with the Coeds footing all the bills. The week is climaxed with the Coed Formal, an activity much anticipated each semester. The theme of the formal this fall was Mistletoe Mood , and the spring dance was entitled, Whispering Seas . :3 Va, ; n .u e Alidug e t't'gu;
