The camp, jointly sponsored by the University and the Pitt YMCA, enabled the freshman to get his first taste of college life, and was his first step in the all-important transition from just another face in the crowd to an individual. This year 179 freshmen started the festivities on Friday afternoon, cheering and shouting as the head counselors whipped up spirit and enthusiasm. The former system of housing the men by their schools was replaced by four integrated sections called the lllue. Gold. Panthers, and Jungle Cats. Competition raged between the sections in every s|M rt ami reached a high point Saturday night as the campers assembled to present their skits and songs. Final tabulation of points resulted in a tie between the Blue and the Gold sections, ami they were judged co-recipients of the battered milk pitcher that does double duty as the Freshman Camp Cup. In between the tugs-of-war and cheering sessions, the counselors managed to answer the thousand-and-one ques-tions the freshmen had to ask on every subject from registration to the condition of the football team. For a perfect ending to Camp, the freshmen started a new tradition by throwing the entire counseling staff into the swimming pool.
