With the threat of customs week hang
ing over your head and the confusion of
orientation and registration behind you,
let me take the opportunity to throw a
friendly, "Hi, kids! Welcome to Behrend.

State, is a little awesome to some of you;
but don't worry about a thing. You'll get

grass, rowing to pine trees, anklets, bow
ties, and dinks do terrific things to your
prestige: not to mention your ego. And
where else could you learn such fantastic
trivia as the numl - er of gallons of water
in the swimming pool, or how many bricks
in the fireplace? I ask you: where?
Being a freshman doesn't have to be a
all that had though. The old axiom:
"Life is what you make it" holds true at
Behrend too. All you need is a little bit
of the "Hello" spirit and a big dose of a
sense of humor and everything will turn
out in hearts and flowers. So chin up,
kids, the best is yet to come. Its gonna
be a great year, and we're.glad to have
you aboard.
