Everyone walked while the new students filled out innumerable forms, took placement and physical fitness tests, and became acquaint- ed with University buildings and professors. Several methods of helping freshmen integrate with the campus were employed. just before school opened, the an- nual YWCA-YMCA Freshman Camp was held. Freshman Guides were again on hand to help students become famil- iar with their colleges. Organizations' Night provided anoth- er method besides these by introducing Freshmen to extra- curricular activities available. F In addition to the orientation program for freshmen, Mr. and Mrs. Williain Kelley invited foreign students to their home as they do each year for a welcome address by the President and the opportunity to meet others before having to make the academic adjustment necessary in at- tending a school in a different country.
