The blgest problem area will
be in helping the freshman ad-just
to college life.
This can be done by talking
with the freshman—listening to
her ideas and problems—and guid-ing
her where needed. Also en-forcement
of the rules and regu
lations. by which the freshman
learns to live in a group, is very
to develop an awareness of the
world about them In a new light.
My Intention Is also to show them
the workings of Student Govern-ment
and to try to develop an in-terest
in them for It. My plan of
attack involves offering under-standing

best of my ability.

with 123 other girl, In a college
community of 3,000, and In getting
them acquainted with all of the
opportunitie, to broaden their In-tellectual
scope and those oppor-tunitie,
to serve this community.
A few of my plans for solving
this problem are:
(1) To help them feel a part of
this community by building
a quiet spirit of unity within
the dorm, class, and communi-ty
at large,
(2) to present the opportunities
and actlvltle, In an original
manner.
(3) to talk about these opportuni-tie,
we may never have again.
(4) to be available at any time to
chat.
(5) to try In the beat way I know
to help the freshmen discover
