ORIENTATION WEEK Since 1924, entering students at the University of Chicago have arrived on campus before the beginning of the autumn quarter to participate in Orientation Week. During this period, an attempt is made to acclimate the student to the University, the surrounding neighborhood, and the city of Chicago. At the same time, he is administered a number of placement tests and confers with his advisor in order to be placed in courses commensurate with his abilities and achievements. Despite the hopes of the administration and the prodigious efforts of the O-Boarders, however, the experience is probably more one of intro- duction than orientation. The Orientation Board has thought of nearly everything-and has crammed it all into fourteen days. The booklet College Orientation Program for autumn 1965 lists some 24 hours of placements testing, 2 house meetings, 5 addresses, 3 conferences, 7 tours, 2 excursions, 2 plays, and a few miscellane0us functions such as registration to be attended. Although the human mind may be able to absorb what there is to be gained from these activities, rare indeed must be the student who can digest what he experiences and synthesize his impressions into a unified view of the new world which he has entered. Orientation, confusing and demanding though it may be, is nevertheless exciting. It is a time for meeting new friends, being exposed to new ideas, and exploring an unfamiliar city. And even if the products of O-Week cannot show visitors where h-Iichelson first measured the veloci- ty of light or direct them to the Oriental Institute, they at least are not total strangers to the Uni- versity. 12
