INTRODUCTION TO SC begins with Ori.-nla- tion. On Troy Day (above) new sliidenls receive registration materials and a campus tour by mem- bers of service groups. Sorority Rushing (below) is an exciting way to start SC for many coeds. MISS SEPTEMBER, Linda Petrie, is a mem- ber of Pi Beta Phi sorority. Linda came to us from Westchester High School and is a sopho- more in Sociology. She likes to do many things such as water skiing, swimming, modeling and playing basketball with her little brother. September Brings New Programs to Troy With its whirl of activities, September arrived! Starting at a lively pace with orientation, counseling, registration, rushing and Presents, Trojans went on to enjoy the many other attractions of this initial month. Newcomers to Troy learned of the many legends and Troydi- tions of the University. Traditional pep rallies before football games were given addi- tional interest when such features as Bobby Darin ' s leading of cheers, and the modeling of the new SC ivy-league-style blazers were included in the program. SC spirit soared higher as our talented varsity began an 8-game string of wins, by trouncing Oregon State, and then Pittsburgh. The 1150 new freshmen students, the 2066 other new students, as well as the several thousand returning Trojans were also kept busy with the beginning programs of Philosophy Forums, noon readings, teas and lectures by campus professors and visiting personalities. Additional programs and events offered by the University included a variety of concerts, plays, and exhibits. This year, SC students began the fall semester with the challenge of living up to many new and rigid controls — social, academic and disciplinary. With the new standards, September held an atmosphere of a sober nature as well as one of enthusiastic spirit. As the campus unfolded its worlds — the worlds of government, football, culture, and the social and academic ones, students entered them with a new perspective as September led them into new goals of self-advancement. 18
