Welcome Students,
Glad You're Here
. "... Tin Campus a rilinrii in :i< today:
The old grip stirs t,ur hearts uith ntu-old jay."
Poet Richard Hoviy. In spc.ifcinc of his beloved
Dartmouth cimpmT lus voiced a .sentiment 1h.1t
well describes the Fresno Stale College campus
during this 2Silrannu.il fall registration.
However cynical .ind imperiously veneered .1
collegian may seek to become as routine weeks
later slip by. he nevertheless docs find his heart
stirred "with*new-old joy" today as he bellows
raucous greetings across the lawn to friends of
three months ago, or exchanges sincere hand-
shakes wuh faculty members whom he has grown
10 admire and respect.
The senior returning for his last year, and the
freshman making his collegiate debut—both discover -themselves warmed and heartened by the
feeling of comradship and helpfulness which inevitably diffuses throughout the entire enrolling
student body. Perhaps some, realizing that there
are five million college-age youth in the European
death struggle experience a greater measure of
this "stirring of the heart with new old joy" than
do others.- Undoubtedly for a lew cnrollces

To all who "stand and wait" with whatever'
attitudes or aspirations, THE COLLEGIAN extends a welcome and a "glad-you'rc-hcrc." We
earnestly hope ihat the "Hello Spirit" typical of
registration week may continue to cement new-
friendships among the several races, classes, and
interest groups to be found on this campus as
the semester progresses.
