...an.cf,4' Slowly students siphon onto the registration room floor, where they're loaded with papers, cards, folders, and envelopes, and sent along the roped-off route. After a quick conference with advisors, a hasty filling-out of programs, they dash over to pull cards. With agonizing slowness, the line shortens. Then the P.A. cracks and a voice announces, These classes are now closed . . . Groans and curses echo as closed outs return this time to the trouble shooter and the schedule is revamped --a little less desirable than at first. After class cards are pulled, the finger-break- ing, patience-trying task of filling out record cards remains. Even egotists get tired of their names after writing it on a dozen papers. Now they reboard the assembly line where they're hustled from station to station - each stop emptying card- filled hands and money-filled wallets. Finally, the last card is delivered, the last payment made. The finished product, the class schedule, barely resembles its predecessor--that perfect schedule. But what does that matter? They've passed the preliminary bout of registra- tion and are now ready for the first round of classes! The highlight for a freshman co-ed is when she re- ceives her pin and starts formal pledging. , 0 - f ,V -' .T-fit. .,... ..,..,,., V , A - I iz 5 L ,,.- 4 . ,- ..:-5 7, z' A.. Nj-VV.

Through the T 81 I Building front door file the A's and B's , owners of such prized names as Akers, Allen, and Benson. Through the T 8. I side door sneak the Y's and Z's , unfortunates named Yates, Young, and Zaloga. From all openings, they pour into registration-each seeking that elusive treasure, the perfect class schedule. Armed with much-thumbed class schedules, up- perclassmen's advice on professors, well-sharpened pencils, and plenty of patience, students climb aboard the as.,embIy line of registration. The seemingly endless wait is filled with voices- What do ya' mean, I need I6 hours of science? Don't take that professor-he flunked me. Secretarial classes are iust loaded with girIs. Oh no, basket weaving IOI is closed. Man, l've got to get all morning classes-I can't hack another Friday afternoon lab. an xr an
