Indian summer greets new and returning Pipers in fall Fall began the cycle of the 1967-1968 Hamline year. Glow- ing Indian summer weather greeted new and returning stu- dents and attracted activities, homework, and daydreamers to the outside world. Registration, standing in a seemingly endless line for ID pictures, and bookbuying put the year in the pattern of others, And yet, there was excitement in seeing who the new freshmen were, in renewing old friend- ships, and in speculating about those who did not return. Cold winds of October moved student life indoors, but failed to squelch the bouyancy of Homecoming with its floats- and queens and football fever. Fall brought with it the first whiff of freshly popped popcorn in the dorms, battling crowds in the PO, and carefree crunching ,through brown, fallen leaves. There was the ever-present pungency of burn- ing leaves, the inevitable crowded library, books, classes, and exams. Fall began to blend academics with scheduled events like Parents' Day, Institute of World Affairs, and finally Christ- mas. It was a part, and yet, was a separate entity-complete as a term, but also an introduction to what was beyond- winter! Sue Roberts and Ron Christianson discuss new class schedules on the Library steps. '!!

President Paul H. Giddens and Congress President Dick Mittleman welcomed new students and their parents at the opening convocation. The testing program beginning with ques- tionnaires and vocational interests inventories, continued throughout the week with mathematics, chemistry, language, swimming, general aptitude tests. During the evening, new Pipers attended discussions on Vietnam, visited the faculty, and viewed Fellini's La Stradau at the Drew Theatre. The week was climaxed by attending The Visit' at the Tyrone Guthrie Theatre and a football game at Gustavus Adolphus.
