RECIPE FOR FRESHMEN ORIENTATION Blend the following ingredients: 1, 279 sophisticated and spirited new freshmen 692 worried and concerned parents 10 energetic and knowledgeable student leaders A host of administrators and faculty members Sprinkle with Roadrunner cartoons, library tours, the freshmen game, registration forms, and parties in the dorm fafter the counselors had gone to Peggy'sJ. And bake for two days in a hot, steamy dorm room. In its fifth year, Orientation was headed by Dr. Stephen Schodde, Student personnel coordinator. Dr. Schodde was aided by 10 seniors who served as orientation counselors - Connie Cohen, George DeBakey, Jack I-latch, julie Hughes, Diane Lake, Mary Paquette, Ron Roark, Dick Sapp, Tom Selander, and Connie Siegfried. All in all, it proved to be a learning experience for all involved and, hope- fully, the beginning of a lot of friend- ships and the beginning of a rewarding four years at Drake.

rf: rig sn? fr Eler Fieldhouse to Phases l,II,lII Registration was presented in two forms this year. In the fall, there was the traditional madness in the fieldhouse for is it fieldness in the madhouse ?J Anyway, there were the usual glassy-eyed stares, people running around paying library fines from '64, and entrepreneurs trying to sell you a Marriage and the Family card f you're not gonna let S10 stop you from graduating, are you ? J But '72 brought us a new-improved, poly-unsaturated, super-colossal registration. Thanks to the computer, you could leave the Dr. Schol1's foot pads, the economy-sized Excederin bottle, and the sleeping bag at home. . . now you could zip through Meredith in a mere half-hour. Or so they say. The Registrar's new operation consisted of these three phases of hopefully painless recovery and few fatalities. It's fairly simple: Phase 1: 3, OOO students sign up for Eng. 51, History 2, P.E. 10 and Psych., 52 Phase 2: 3, OOO students now sign up for Econ. 73, Poli. Sci. 73, Bio. 2 and Winetasting Phase 3: 3, O00 students now taking 6 hours report to the fieldhouse for registration. . . And Nero fiddles as Rome burns. Drake ingenuity triumps over evil. Now if you can just do something about the parking lot. . .
