Freshman Orientation Freshman Orientation week is seven days full of events and fun when each new student has the opportunity of becoming acquainted with Maryland life. The activities of this Aveek are numerous and diverse including campus tours, academic assemblies, the President ' s Reception, Dink Debut, a class assembly, Freshman Mixer, and many more functions. The planning body of Orientation Week is the Board composed of the event chairmen and officers. The Board members and tour leaders are the hat people who enforce customs regu- lations and try to answer questions. This year the Board made several new ad- ditions to the program. A pre-college orienta- tion program was held during the summer which gave those students attending a head start in becoming familiar with the University. Other additions were a transfer student program and a customs court to deal with violators of the cus- toms regulations.
