As to the types of orientation that they were subjected to, the freshmen reacted differently. Barb King lGroup Leaderl: They didn't know themselves well enough yet to evaluate the university. And that pretty well summed it up. Orientation '68 wasn't a flop because none of the freshmen went home in fear and didn't come back. Just as certainly, however, was the fact that because there are different individual preferences, not all the activities lcultural, intellectual, social, or otherwisel suited everyone, and on that basis, Orientation '68 could . hardly be described as a screaming success. lt's good that they went through it though. Now, for better or for worse, they lthe freshmenl are a part of Western, and will have to face another bewildered bunch next September for orientation '69.

46' 20 The USC sponsored a gathering of group leaders over a Westminster College in early September. Discussions as to the purpose and desirability of various methods of orientation raged far into the early and late mornings. And certainly they have tried, and this rather contentious area is improving as the image or the lowly frosh dies in the minds of the upperclassmen. Not only that but the Frosh iSloshl Hop in Port Stanley was revived.

I 'xy J Aix 4 J HV7 Q THE ASSOCIATIDN For professional entertainment, the Spur brought in the Association, and that wasn't a mistake. With PAT PAULSON FOR PRESIDENT stickers plastered all over their guitar cases, they came on with a brand of polish that made the viewer attentive to the finer nuances of their own style of harmony. Playing many of their hits lCherish, Never lVIy Love, and Along Comes IVlaryl, their patter in between numbers was fresh and spontaneous. The audience had a good time as they weren't played down to, but played across at, as there was a degree of respect by this group for its audience. The group played two shows to 4500 enthusiastic Frosh and others and was a good start for the Spur, as far as entertainment was concerned. Too bad they couIdn't keep it up.
