Show Being a part of everything from rush to finals requires a tremendous amount of maturing for the adolescent. It requires social and scholastic adjustment, to mention nothing of the financial adjustment following registration. (Registration is, by the way, the process which the University uses to eliminate those innocents that slipped out of the average, easy-going, western high school; sneaked through the Entrance Examinations; and were until that time, prospective members of the institution.) As a freshman, he learns his way around campus, all 446.6 uphill acres of it. He notices the beauties of the Annex, the intricacies of the Union, and the newness of Orson Spencer Hall. He is told about the University Emblem on the floor of the Park Building, but after a few weeks go by pays no attention to it. He learns about the cost of books and the Bookstore. Soon he acquaints himself with the library, and the reasons for going there; or Kingsbury Hall and the reason for going there, and Blue Books find a place in his heart. After a time, he acclimates himself to Greek life or the lack of it, to whitewashing the "U," and to exhibiting his energies all over campus. And some day he will be thankful for his "greenness"; for he will have these things always to remember. 127 |
