Judy Meets KU in Hectic Orientation
Judy receives a name tag from her dormitory counselor, Anne Hoopingarner, Dallas, Texas, junior.
Orientation week has been a hectic but pleasant time for Judy Asel, Topeka freshman.
She and her parents arrived at Gertrude Sellards Pearson dormitory Sunday morning. Judy met her new roommates and dormitory counselor.
Then she and her parents toured the campus and attended the new student convocation.
Judy's mother was surprised at the beauty of the campus.
"We've lived in St. Louis until recently, and I had no idea there were hills like these in Kansas," she said.
Monday, Judy and her roommates stopped by the new Presbyterian youth center being constructed at 12th and Oread. Judy is a Presbyterian and will spend some of her time at the center after it is completed.
Judy also took placement examinations Mondav.
"I did terribly in the English section but the math section wasn't so bad," she said.
That evening she mingled with the crowd at the KU-Y watermelon feed and met some of her fellow freshmen—male variety.
Yesterday she attended her first college dance, a street dance near the girls' dormitories.
After several hurried days of orientation, Judy is beginning to get acquainted with the campus.
"I'm getting so I can at least find my way around," she said. "The last few days have all been a lot of fun."
Judy kisses her mother goodbye.
Judy visits the partly built Presbyterian student center with her roommates, Lydia Weiler, Central Islip, N.Y., and Darcy LaFollette, Mission, freshmen.
A visit to the Museum of Art is included in the family's tour of the campus.
A placement examination question causes Judy to stop and think it over.
At the KU-Y watermelon feed, Judy feeds watermelon to Dick Rousselot, Shawnee freshman.
