We at the Clog send our warmest welcomes to everyone on their way back to the Berkeley bubble for the exciting new school year–especially the freshmen. Our condolences on your weak, two-day Welcome Week.
Need some extra help getting settled into this brand new phase of your life? We at the Daily Cal try our best–on Thursday, we released a special issue of its daily newspaper aimed especially at Cal noobs. From Berkeley’s political history to an explanation of the Big Game and the Cal-Stanford rivalry, you’ll pretty much have a head start on becoming a full-fledged Cal student with all the helpful tips we’ve so lovingly compiled.

OK, so it’s technically Spring Welcome Week.
Who are we kidding. If you’re a student, you’re probably not even back in Berkeley. If you are in Berkeley already, then you’re either here against your will, or you’re new to our beloved university. We at the Clog give our condolences to the premature death of your winter break. May it rest in peace.
In any case, we warmly welcome all you spring admits, transfer students, newly hired employees and perpetual Berkeley residents. You guys don’t get the excitement of a full-blown Welcome Week–complete with replete amounts of complimentary meals and excessively large club and business fairs–but who needs a Caltopia, anyway? They don’t even give away free BART tickets anymore. Yes, we’re still bitter about that.
Here’s a short list of some of the welcome-themed events going on this week. You can find more activities at UC Berkeley Events or at the Spring Welcome Week website.

Tomorrow is the start of Welcome Week, if you haven’t heard yet. And if you haven’t been on the southside of campus in the last couple of days, it’s been a nightmare with all the traffic and all those pesky little freshmen moving into the dorms.
So, to try to cool all of you off before classes start next week, the Daily Cal is going to give all these freshmen (and you) a little history lesson about what happened 40 years ago.
Don’t remember?
Well, pick up the special Summer of Love issue inside tomorrow’s paper and reminisce about what is what like at this little placed called Berkeley back in 1967.
Then you’ll remember that hating your new roommate isn’t so bad or wish that you could take Doc’s De Lorean back to 1967. And then maybe it will get you to decorate your room with all those flowers to the right.
