Student Handbook 1932-33 7 Freshmen - Their Directions and Complete Programs for the four-day Freshman Week 8 Michigan State College FRESHMAN WEEK Michigan State College puts forth every effort to make the step from high school to college as easy and as natural as possible. With this purpose in mind Freshman Week was inaugurated. Fifty members of the faculty give liber ally of their time to serve as freshman advisers. They place themselves at your service during Freshman Week and throughout your freshma.n a.nd sophomore years to assist you in selecting your course of study, to guide you through the various activities of Freshman Week, to advise you regarding the proper use of your time in college and to serve as intimate friends in any problems that may arise in connection with your college career. If you make proper use of your adviser you will not be likely to meet problems that you cannot surmount. It is the student who comes to college confident that he needs no adviser who most often finds himself faced with scholastic or other difficulties before the close of the freshman year. Fortify yourself against these difficulties by availing yourself of the service of your adviser wh~mever you are perplexed about any detail of your J.ife at college, whether it per tain to college problems or to off-campus problems. During Freshman Week you are required to complete a number of activities. These are set forth clearly in the programs for the various groups in the pages that follow. Coupon books are furnished you containing a coupon for each of the activities. These coupons are taken up as the respective events are completed and attendance is im mediately checked. Included among these activities are an English Placement examination and a Psychological exami nation. Your record in the English examination will deter mine whether you will be required to complete four or only three terms of English in College. Your record in the Psychological examination is given to your adviser and is made a part of your permanent record in the Registrar':i rs EXCUSED FROM ANY office. NO STUDENT ACTIVITY.

Service MICHIGAN STATE UNION Built ·in 1925, the Michigan State Union Memorial build ing serves as a college center for students, faculty mem bers, alumni and visitors. When it was organized in 1916, the Michigan State Union set as its goal a completely equipped building that would act as a nucleus for extra-curricular activities. Construc t ion of the building was begun in 1924 by voluntary student labor, and was completed a year later. Although still not completely finished, each year sees some improvement or innovation. Located near the entrance to the campus, the Union Memorial building is well equipped to serve the purposes for which it was erected. The facilities include several pri- Student Handbook 1932-33 53 vate dining rooms, a ballroom, a cafeteria, soda fountain and grill, main dining room, a spacious lobby, a billiard room, barber shop and beauty salon, women's lounge, and student clubrooms. The Faculty Club has its quarters on the third floor, and the offices of the student publications, the Michigan State News and the Wolverine are located on the fourth floor. A complete hotel service is provided for visiting teams and guests of the college. Most of the college dances are held in the Union ballroom. The Union activ·ities program is broad and varied. Tea dances are held two afternoons a week, and fall term mix ers usually are centered in the Union . Each year the Union sponsors a dramatic or musical comedy production in which students take pa.rt. Visiting athletic teams are met by the Union committees and welcomed. During Homecoming, class reunions, and big games the Union building has always been the center of activity. Every Michigan State student automatically becomes a member of the Union upon payment of the regular college fees. The Union has a desk in its lobby which has become a center of personal servfoe for the general student body. Besides selling tobacco and class supplies, it operates a cir cu1ating rental library, and second hand textbook service, and is a general agency for tickets for all college functions. The Union is managed by a board of directors whose per sonel includes student, faculty and alumni members. Stu dent members are elected annually at the all-college winter term elections. Following this election, the board selects its officers for the ensuing year. The 1932-33 officers and board of directors are as fol lows: R. 'C. McDonald, '33, president; Helen ·carruthers, '33, first vice-president; Kenneth Stonex, '33, second vice-presi dent; Glen 0. Stewart, '17, secretary; Raymond H.
