Lectures, concerts, plays and fine movies are available in abun- dance and many are provided free of charge. Sports, dances and house par- ties fill out the calendar for re- creation seeking students, fresh from a long session with the books. Welcome Mat Most living groups, whether they be fraternities, sororities, co-op houses, or dormitory units, throw out the welcome mat with parties at least every month. Dur- ing the football season, student parties are more plentiful. Nearly every week some large campus organization throws a dance for any terpsichorial mind- ed students. Traditional highlight of the year is the J-Hop, a formal dance with big name orchestras, held between semesters.
