Freshman Week Activities i —. — H E primary purpose of the p r o g r a m of F r e s h m a n W e e k is to assist in th orientation oi the class in its new environment and to register the students with a minimum of error. Registration is combined with a series of personal conferences, instructional group meetings, proficiency examinations, and social events. At the end of the program, the new student should have finished his registration, have become well situated in his new surroundings, and have gained a fair acquaintance with the campus and the general administrative plan of the University. In order that the student may get the most out of the p r o g r a m of Freshman Week, it is necessary that he attend every required function and as many as possible of the optional events. Just prior to the beginning of F r e s h m a n W e e k are two events which bring many students to the campus. One is fraternity and sorority "rushing." Fraternities and sororities entertain their prospective members during "rush week," sororities from September 7 to 12, and fraternities from September 9 to 15. Questions in regard to fraternity and sorority rushing should be addressed to the Dean of Men and the Dean of W o m e n . Another event just before the beginning of F r e s h m a n W e e k which is very much worthwhile for freshman men is the Y.M.C.A. F r e s h m a n Camp to be held from September 6 to 9 at Camp Seymour, the state camp of the Y.M.C.A. near Decatur, Illinois. This Camp brings to the students attending it a large n u m b e r of faculty and student leaders who discuss various phases of campus life; at the same time, a worthwhile program of recreation is carried on. Applications for camp reservations should be made to Mr. M. I. Coldwell, University Y.M.C.A., Champaign, Illinois. Freshman W e e k is managed by a faculty committee with representatives from each college, the chairman being the Dean of Men. Any questions in regard to F r e s h m a n W e e k should be addressed to Dean Fred H . T u r n e r , 152 Administration Building, Urbana, Illinois.
