There are almost as many parties during that weekend as during all the rest of year combined. The parties the i·,·\t\`""e"g range irom small, sedate affairs to raucous, expensive blasts.

Thousands of dollars are spent entertaining the freshmen during this weekend although many of the upperclassmen take full advantage of the parties as well. What is the reaction of the typical Freshman to this? That's hard to answer because there are as many different reactions to the weekend as there are freshmen. Somilc freshmen have been party- ing to their heart's content and lel that they are having the time I ol' their lives.

At Friday's freshman picnic. open~ing speaker Peter Richardson-*48, the Director of Admissions, urged the Class of '83 to "care for others." .Before his words get lost in the shuffle of R /0 week, freshmen -and upperclassmen -should consider them caretully. How should youJ care for others in your time at MIT?. Activities want and need help One way is through activities. You may not realize it, but the MIT community is served by one of the most extensive collections of student activities. Movie groups, theater groups, service groups, a yearbook, and this newspaper rare all provided to the MIT Community at a very low route because they are subsidized by students who donate their time to make them run. And for them to continue to run, they need your help. Some organizations are on the verge of extinction because they don't htave the staff to go on doing- their job. In the last few years, MIT has lost ;a newspaper, a magazine, and a political action group., Pill these groups dis- appeared mostly because of a lack of staff, not because of a lack of' work, Even groups w-hich are not facing imminent death are short 'on staff.
