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

"Fraternity rushing also interferes
greatly, but there seems to be no im
mediate or better solution to the prob.

end of the Week, as in former years,
uncontroled 'lead-piping' would take
the place of the system now used,"
