        SCA435-GA508-1 · File · 1968
        Part of Jim Keron fonds.

        A black and gold ribbon bearing the designation “Orientation Committee” and featuring an illustration of the cartoon Watfor. The ribbon was given to all members of the Orientation Committee at the University of Waterloo in 1968 including Jim Keron. The committee operated under the Federation of Students (now the Waterloo Undergraduate Student Association or WUSA) and was tasked with coordinating the various events and activities for incoming students.

        The file also contains a button that is affixed to the ribbon bearing the inscription "U of W FROSH," accompanied by a handwritten insert that reads "FROSH POWER” as well as a black and gold beanie featuring the University of Waterloo crest and motto. These items were initially distributed to incoming students in 1968, but Keron obtained additional ones from the Federation of Students office. Keron and friends posed as new students, commonly referred to as frosh, and intentionally broke orientation rules such as ‘no sitting on the grass’ in an effort to stage a mock frosh revolt.
