hOff of This City

AS the opening day of classes at
the University of Minnesota swiftly
approaches, the Central Minnesota
district committee, a part of the
general Freshman Week committee,
is concentrating it's efforts on orga-
nizing the high school graduates
who plan to attend the University
during the next term.
The members of the district COM
mittee are Leon M. Boyd, Jr., Alex
andria, Chairman Robert J. Schoen-
hoff, Sank Centre, and Elmo Olson,
Osakis. Prospective University
entrants are asked to get in touch
with Mr.. Scheonhoff as soon as pos
sible so that further information
may be given out.
The district committee members,
all of whom are upperclassmen at
the University, tell the prospective
students of class work, activities,
and general campus life. The prime
duty of the upperclassmen is to
advise and help the new student in
all the problems which confront
him.
In addition he is told of the well
come which has been prepared by
the group on the campus. This well
come will extend through the per-
iod from September "a tn to 9th,
known as Freshman Week, On
those days the $50 students who
comprise the Freshman Week COM
mittee assume complete charge of
the new students, helping them to
get acquainted with spots Of inter-
est and with those who will be their
classmates for the next few years.
One of the first things the Fresh
man Week committee undertook to
do was to select slogan which
would suitably explain it's purpose
and express it's desire to be of the
greatest assistance, to the freshman
"Your Aid - Our Aim" was the
slogan chosen, and + this is to be-
come a permanent tradition of the
University.
The Big Sisters, an organization
of women who are assisting the
Freshman Week committee in its
work, have sent out thousands of
letters of welcome to prospective
goods. These letters established a
valuable campus contact of the
new student. During the first two
days of the week prior to the be-
ginning of classes, the freshman
students will devote their time to
registration, entrance examinations,
etc. Upperclassmen will be stationed
in booths throughout the entire
campus to help the Freshmen
straighten out the problems of
curriculum which are bound to
arise.
On Wednesday the Freshman
Week committee will become more
active. Tours of both the St. Paul
and Minneapolis campus and per-
haps of interesting spots in other
parts of the Twin Cities have been
arranged. These will be conducted
continuously all week. ....:
Get-together will be held for men
and women at various times dur

The week will be wound up with
a gigantic carnival which is to be
staged in the Field House on the
Saturday before classes are resum-
ed. Both men and women students
are to be invited to this affair
which is free to all freshmen.

other and with those upperclassmen
who attend the carnival. Balloons,
