Council, Orientation Committee
Set For Influx of New Students
College Freshman — just what do those words mean to you?
To most of you, something new, different, and certainly, unique.
Everyone should try to make the campus one on which know-ledge
can be attained and applied whereby each person is made a
better human being as a result of his day-to-day experiences and
associations.
The next few days of orientation will provide new students
with an excellent opportunity to get to know tlie seniors. The
Student Council, through its Orientation Committee, and the Ad-ministration,
principally through its Student Personnel Office,
have planned the coming fun-packed days for everyone's enjoy-ment.
They are to be enjoyed as a prelude to campus life.
Committee Working Since Last Spring
The Orientation Committee, a committee of Student Council,
has been hard at work since last spring, planning for the orderly
transition of freshmen to the new, and sometimes frightening
rigors of college life. The group is composed of seniors, most of
whom have given up many hours of vacation time this summer
to prepare for today. Many remember the bewilderment that
was theirs barely a year ago, when they first arrived at SUATI

The activities planned by them
have kept this in mind, and
their main objective was to wel-come
the freshmen and make
them feel at home while instill-ing
the proper respect for the
returning seniors.
