EIQES WHILE the above activities were all being held on the main campus, another program was being run for A-g campus freshmen. For the first time this year, a coordinated social and service program was put into effect on the Ag campus. Complete radio coverage for the activities of Freshman Week was given by WTCN, an NBC station. Street broadcasts were held in front of the armory and post office, and broadcasts of vocational and study program counselling and of various other activities were made. This was in addition to the usual radio coverage for the week arranged for by the Freshman week radio com- mittee. Instrumental in the direction of the various student committees were Margaret Deems, assistant chairman in charge of service com- mittees, Ruth Bloomgren, assist- ant chairman in charge of social committees, Bob Marshall, general 'publicity chairman, and Bill Cow- Clry, financial chairman. CAMPUS sisters and their little sis- ters had tea in Old MacDonald's farm Thursday afternoon. That night some 3,000 students gath- ered in Northrop again for Meet Miniiesota Night. The evening of speeches on Minnesota tradi- tions, singing and stage entertain- ment was to have been climaxed by a torchlight parade to the knoll to plant the class tree. A storm broke in the early evening, how- ever, and prevented the beginning of a Minnesota tradition, Friday night the men gathered in the Union and the coeds in Shevlin hall where they held their respective mixers. Saturday night's All-freshman dance and free carnival climaxed the week's program. Over 2,000 students jammed the Union to dance to the music of two bands on two fioors and to wander through the carnival booths. The highlight of the eveningwas the crowning of Virginia Morck as All-freshman Queen. Her attendants were Betty Lobdell, Mary Ann Fulton, Helen Hurley, Jane Shields and Betty Ryland. They were selected on the basis of beauty, high school schol- astic average and high school ac- tivity record. HMAIXI WEEK
