Page 12 University Daily Kansan, August 24, 1983 Mortar Board welcomes freshmen to KU By PETE WICKLUND Staff Reporter About 150 freshmen last night received a personal introduction to the University of Kansas from some of their instructors and distinguished students. The new students were welcomed by almost 70 faculty members and administrators, and 35 honor students at the Mortar Board annual Freshmen Welcome in the Kansas Union Ballroom. Previously the events had been conducted at faculty members' homes. But Christine Fidler, chairman of the welcome for Mortar Board, said that freshman attendance in past years had been sparse. "I think it will work far better for the freshmen with the Union being centrally located," Fidler said. It was the first year that Mortar Board, a senior honor society, welcomed freshmen at the Union. president; and Lawrence Sherr, professor of business administration. The program consisted of a slide show depicting the history of KU, and welcoming speeches by Fidler; Deanell Tacha, vice chancellor for academic affairs; Jim Cramer, student body vice Afterwards, the freshmen divided into 25 discussion groups, with faculty and administration members participating in each group. FIDLER SAID she thought the low attendance was attributable to feelings of intimidation among freshmen. "I didn't know there were so many friendly people who really cared," said Shawn Stockman, a Kirwin freshman. STOCKMAN HAD the opportunity to talk individually with David Amber, vice chancellor for student affairs; Lisa Asnell, student body president; and Bobby Patton, chairman of the speech and drama department. "It nice to know you can communicate with the hierarchy," said Stock man, adding that he was comfortable talking with his group leaders. Mortar Board publicized the event through newspapers and radio, and posted notices at residence and scholarship halls. "I heard about it at my hall," said Sandra Crider, Wichita freshman and a resident of Sellards Scholarship Hall. "Some of the girls who live there are members of Mortar Board and they suggested that it would be a good idea for them some of my professors," Crider said. Anne Sheehan, Mortar Board's president, said she was satisfied with the evening's success. 749-4132 West end of Holiday Plaza Boyds Coins-Antiques Class Rings Buy-Sell Trade Goods Court Coins 731 New Hampshire Antiquities-Watches New Hampshire Lawrence, Kansas 66044 913-842-877; A GLASS ACT.
