The Wyoming Days committee, chairmaned this year by Dave Hal- lowell, is in complete charge of planning the tour made through the state by campus talent each spring. In addition to mapping the route for the show, which seeks to ac- quaint high school seniors with the many sides of campus life, the com- mittee picks the personnel from campus try outs. ' JreshmaH Orientation To help incoming freshmen get their feet on more solid campus ground, the Freshman Orientation committee plans a full slate of ac- tivities for the first-time Cowboys.

In addition to the steak fry, the committee sponsors a bar- becue, a freshman assembly, and a freshman handbook — the Dude.
