 PEP RALLY AND TALENT NIGHT
 Your first Friday evening at the University of Florida will feature the
annual campus wide Pep Rally followed by a dance and Talent Night. It is a
"must" for every student. This is your introduction to college social life; an
event you can't afford to miss. Here you will meet students who will be your
classmates for the next four years. These are campus wide functions, and a
large part of the entire student body turns out for these events. It goes without
saying that football fever is not restricted to freshmen and transfers alone,
thus you may find yourself rubbing elbows with seniors, and learning cheers
and songs from those around you.
 The huge Student Body Rally is first on the schedule at 8:00 p.m. in the
Florida Gymnasium. Here is your opportunity to see and hear the Fightin'
Gator Band, the Cheerleaders, and the Gator Pep Club in action. The cheer-
leaders will introduce you to the various Florida cheers and songs and go
through them a few times so that you will. be able to join in yelling them at
the first football game of the season. Mimeographed programs will contain the
traditional songs for everyone to learn. The band will accompany the group
as they go through the songs which typify a Florida football weekend. This
enjoyable and enlightening program is one of the fastest moving hours of the
entire Orientation Week.
 Immediately after the rally, the second annual Talent Night and Dance will
be held in the Gym. The show was made up entirely of freshmen last year.
Introduced on the show, many new students were able to get jobs using their
talent. Students interested should write Dr. Robert Bolles, Music Division,
University of Florida, (before Orientation Week) of their intention to partici-
pate. Describe your act so that it can be scheduled and arrangements made
for preview. Take this opportunity to offer your talent, whatever it may be,
and join in the fun at the Gymnasium.

 ORIENTATION RECORDS AND TOUR
 This activity is for the purpose of filling out certain records for the Orien-
tation office. Also at this time there will be a very short tour of the campus.
The area over which you will be conducted is of immediate importance to all
entering students.
 Your group counselor will act as guide. His primary purpose will be to
show you the buildings in which you will have classes. Many frantic moments
will be avoided when classes begin, for you will know exactly where to find
your classes. The campus is a huge place, and this tour helps avoid that "lost"
feeling of being engulfed in a strange new atmosphere.
 You will be shown the buildings around the Plaza of the Americas-
Anderson Hall, the Library, Peabody, Benton, the University Auditorium,
Floyd, etc.
 Ask your group counselors any questions you have, as he is anxious to help
you.
 It is very important that you attend this activity so that the Orientation
Committee can complete its records.
