Long a staple for women seeking guidance, the Older and Wiser Program for Men, which seeks to acquaint seniors and freshmen, will begin its second year tomorrow night.
The program was established last year as a counterpart to the Older and Wiser Program for Women, which is now in its sixth year.
During tomorrow's introductory meeting in Webster Hall, the 175 participating freshmen will be matched up with their senior partners.
The freshmen will also hear words of advice from Dean of Freshmen Peter Goldsmith and Senior Associate Dean of Students Dan Nelson.
Duncan Hodge '94 and David Zug '94 are directing the program for men.
Included in their plans are movie nights, panel discussions and receptions to bring the big and little brothers together.
The big brothers seem eager to meet their little brothers. One was very disappointed when his younger brother said he could not meet because he had too many other thing to do.
The big brother, who wished to remain anonymous, said, "I was all excited and ready to go. I wanted to be the best big brother. But he told me that he was busy and that he didn't have enough time. I was crushed."
Other '97s, though, seem to be looking forward to this opportunity.
Nick Gugliuzza '97 said, "The best way to learn the ins and outs of the College is through those who have been through it already. I'm looking forward to meeting my big brother."
Dean of Student Life Holly Sateia, who oversees both Older and Wiser programs, said she is excited to begin the program for the year.
She said that since many of the seniors live off campus it is hard for the seniors and freshmen to interact.
The students were matched over the summer based on their academic and extracurricular interests as well as their hometowns.
