MAJOR CHANGE FRESHMAN "Every detail of the eighth annual Freshman Week will be challenged and evaluated, as it is likely that drastic changes will-be made for next year's program," Dean of Men Arthur R. Warnock said Wednesday. • Although the 1932 orientation pro gram forlirst year students was fully as successful, if not more so, than in former years, there is general feeling among members of the Freshman Week, committee that some changes are essential, -the Dean, who is chair man of the group, said. The commit tee will meet within the • next few weeks to discus's these revisions. Speaking of last week's program, Dean Warnock declared that the ad dition of student counselors to Fresh man Week activities was a much needed feature. Although most insti tutions employ faculty members in this work, the seniors used here this year Performed- an invaliiable and conscientious service, the Dean stated. . "Unbalanced sections were . the bug . aboo of this•year's orientation period. However,.n.. redistribution to obtain sections of uniform size would easily solv,e, that difficulty,'' he said.
