By ED DUBBS
See picture on page five
Dr. Milton S. Eisenhower,
president of the University,
told freshmen last night
that they, and they alone,
are responsible for their
education.
Speaking in Recreation Hall,
President Eisenhower told the
3,626 new students, "You are
responsible for yopr own ac
tions, attitudes and results.
Only you can educate your
self."
. President Eisenhower went
on to outline four require
ments expected of the new stu
dents: (1) satisfactory work,
(2) attending all classes, (3)
complete honesty at all times,
and (4) good conduct.
On the lighter side, Presi
dent Eisenhower told the new
Willard Hall to pay her fees.
All fees must be paid before
students report to Recreation
Hall to register. In the middle.
