What You See
is FA C
By BO COLLINS
Both the facuty and students
of Guilford are well awre of
the many trials encountered
by the incoming Freshman.
Complaints ranging from a
dorm room on the third floor
to egg shells in the scrambled
eggs are always part of the
orientation program. Usually
when a freshman has a prob
lem of any kind the first per
son to hear about it is a FAC
member.
The students that make up the
Freshman Advisory Coun
cil have all been through the
orientation process themselves
and so are sympathetic to the
special needs of freshmen.
These people came to Guil
ford three days before the
freshmen and learned the pro
cedures that will make regist
ering, selecting classes and
becoming familiar with the
campus a lot easier. All
through the orientation pro
cess FAC members were
ready to help. As the end of
the five day orientation came
nearer, the quick smiles were
becoming more difficult to
produce, but everyone was
still made to feel wel
come.
So far this article has con
cerned itself with the way
students reacted to FAC.
What was the latter's reaction
to the Freshmen. Most saw
them as they really are. Full
of life, ambitious and in
telligent. A few Council mem
bers were not impressed with
the antics of some of the new
students. Stereos played too
loudly for too long, coupled
with the noise of nightly
parties brought about com
ments such as "Freshmen are
getting roudier every year" or
"When I was a freshman we
were never that loud or in
considerate."
All FAC members, however,
were relieved to find that reg
istration went more smoothly
this year than last. The tread
ing from one building to
another which was necessary
to register last year was re

placed with a system that
centered around Stern

Paul Swain, FAC leader said
"I have great respect and ad
miration for Jane Griffis both
as a woman and person." it
should be kept in mind that
the work these and other FAC
members have put in has not
been merely for three days,
but continuously through
out the summer.
