Lamar Graduate?
Maybe everyone would not like a visit from this guy, but we at the
University Press would. He is J. Skip Dickstein, our photographer
last semester. Maybe the high paying job he told us he had is not
all that good. But, we still have to claim our own. This billboard
of Gulf States Utilities may be seen driving down Laurel Street here
in Beaumont.
Eight registration-orientation
.sessions have been scheduled for
incoming freshmen, according to
Otto R. Flocke, dean of student
services^ orientation for the
first summer session will be June
3-4. Regular registration will be
June 4.
July 11-12 has been set as the
period of orientation for fresh-
men entering the second summer
session. Regular registration for
that session will be July 12,
Flocke said.
Orientation sections for fresh-
men enrolling in the fall semester
are June 13-14, June 27-28, July
25-26, August 1-2, August 8-9,
and August 29-30.
Flocke noted that as the en-
gineering administration will be
off campus during the June 27-28
session, engineering majors
should choose a different section.
The aim of the orientation pro-
gram, Flocke said, is to ease the
transition from high school to
college for both the student and
his parents.
Christopher Prince, coun-
selor, also feels that “the im-
mensity" of the campus and re-
gistration procedures often scare
freshmen. Up to this point most
have never had the responsibility
of making out their entire sched-
ule, he added.
Reaction from parents to the
summer orientation programs
has been very good, according to
Flocke.
“Things have changed since the
parents went to college, if they
went to college," Flocke said.
The program is designed to in-
form the parents as well as the
student.
Prince noted that college life
is more than just job preparat-
ion. The sessions are also de-
signed to acquaint students with
various activities and fields of
exploration.
For the most part, Flocke
feels, the students who stayed
in the dorms during the orien-
tation got more out of the pro-
gram. About one fourth of the
freshmen last summer used the
dorms. More will be encour-
aged to do so this year, Flocke
said.
