The purpose of Orientation and
Freshman weeks is to introduce
new students to college life and to
the other members of the school.
Primarily, it is a time when the
novice finds out what he can
expect and what is expected of
him. The various exams are used
to determine the capabilities and
interests of the students so that
the student as well as the Uni-
versity can better gauge indi-
vidual potentialities and how they

His activity in the modern aposto-
late of laymen gives him much
experience in dealing with uni-
versity students.
Heading the Alumni office will
be Brother James Gorman, CSC.
A former professor of journalism
and sociology at SEU, he is ac-
quainted with many of the
alumni.

Brother Raymond Fleck, CSC,
president of the University,
greeted the incoming freshmen
in the dining hall Tuesday even-
ing, September 15. He summar-
ized his ideas with the quote, “All
things are yours, you are Christ's,
and Christ is God.”
The Christian message, he said,
is the central truth in the whole
history of the world, and thus is
the basic idea behind this uni-
versity, whose reason for exist-
ence is the pursuit of truth. That
Christ is God and that His teach-
ing is love of God and neighbor is
the basic answer to the problems
of today. It is pertinent to Com-
munism, civil rights, poverty, the
ecumenical council, labor-manage-
ment relations, and to our own
life. Only when we apply this to
ourselves do we become true
Christians.
Brother Raymond stressed the
point that the faculty has no
stereotyped image of the new
students and he hoped they had
none of the school. He mentioned
a statement John Howard Griffin,
author of Black Like Me, made in
his talk here last year. Griffin
said that the most important fac-
tor in a meeting between strang-
ers is the air of mystery present.
This factor is important in ban-
ishing stereotypes.
It is important that the new
student does not act in a way
which he thinks is expected. He
should be himself during the first
weeks. Then, when the newness
wears off, he will be ready to go
on with the important work of
education.
The president expressed his

This year there have been sev-
eral changes in the administra-
tive offices at SEU.
Brother Romard Barthel, CSC,
chairman of the division of phy-
sical and biological sciences, is
the new religious superior. He
thus becomes local superior of all
Brothers on the SEU campus.
Brother LaSalle Woelfel, CSC,
chairman of the division of busi-
ness administration, has been
named executive vice-president of
the University. His main job will
be the direction of the Universi-
ty’s self study project. This pro-
ject, involving the entire faculty
and administration, is a complete
evaluation of the program at
SEU.
In the area of personnel, Bro-
ther Joseph Cain, CSC, is the
Dean of Men. This newly or-
ganized office takes the place of
the Prefect of Discipline and is
more comprehensive in its cover-
age. It combines the disciplinary
aspects with coordination of the
residence hall programs.
Father Harry Baker, CSC, is
student chaplain this year. He
will handle the practical aspects
of religious life on campus. Father
Baker has been active in the
Catholic Lay Mission corps, an
organization of university gradu-
ates who volunteer a year or

Father Johnston, OP, director
of student affairs, noted in his
orientation lecture Monday night
that this was a time to adjust to
a new way of life, a new freedom.
Referring to this time as a time
of maturing in which you either
do or don’t succeed, Father em-
phasized the fact that you are
now on your own—you are now
neither “mothered or smothered.”
As an example, he compared this
freedom to a drifting boat which
without some kind of guidance
would come to its destruction just
as an anchored ship would. It is
necessary to go out, but with
assistance.
You have been given an oppor-
tunity, an opportunity that will
help you to mold your future into
a Christian existence. All that is
necessary is that you want an
education and work for it—it is
yours to “pack up and take
home.” Father also pointed out
that since you will live longer
than just the “eight hour work-
day” it is necessary that you be
trained /to live in a Christian
manner in a not-so-Christian
world.
