Freshman camp to solve problems
Helping freshmen deal with value questions that surround college life is one of the reasons for the KU-Y Freshman Camp next fall.
Another goal in this week-end retreat will be to show freshmen that intellectual excitement and getting to know KU faculty members are worthwhile and rewarding experiences at college, according to Tem Moore, executive secretary for the KU-Y.
THE KU-Y FRESHMAN CAMP will be held Oct.21 to 22 at the Tall Oaks church camp near Linwood, Kansas, and will involve about 80 f eshmen and about 20 upperclassmen counselors and KU faculty members.
The upperclass counselors were chosen recently by interview and this group will have their own retreat on May 6, to prepare for the Freshman Camp in October and to get to know one another.
"The counselors serve as kind of a moderator in organized discussion groups," Moore said.
MOORE EXPLAINED that the Freshman Camp was scheduled in an attempt to find the freshman at his most knowledgeable yet questioning phase at college.
"The student arrives at KU-Y Freshman Camp about three weeks after school has started." Moore said, "and enough time, maybe, for some of the honeymoon to have worn off a little bit, and to be getting close enough to mid-term exams to be concerned but hasn't started to panic yet."
"Maybe at that point he will have some questions that he didn't in August," Moore said.
