Wfalker, Dean of the University intro- duces the new students to the Hamline program. Freshmen attend one of many convocations to increase their awareness of what the uni- versity expected of them. Freshmen, transfers tested, orientated by NSD events On September 17, 370 freshmen and transfer students began their college careers with an orientation period to help them adjust to collegiate life. New Student Days Chairman Carolyn Erwin and her staff of 50 Pipers led discussion groups, directed lost freshmen to testing centers, gave encouragement for homesickness, and heard reactions to first experiences at Hamline. 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. In conjunction with New Student Days, Activities Night acquainted freshmen to the various campus activities and or- ganizations. ww, ,,,k ,,,,,,,,,..,.+Q-'- . . li

If Professors Quay Grigg, George T. Vane, and F. Garvin Davenport aid students enrolling in English classes. +V ,N Mr. Walter H. Mayer, Spanish department, advises Terryl Alwin about her fall schedule. 10 Struggling to arrange his schedule, a student checks the long list of classes already closed. Registrcition: tedious lines, higher tuition, new courses More considerations than just long, slow-moving lines faced the 1244 students who registered for classes in fall. For the first time, pictures of all students were taken for use on plastic ID cards, as well as class pictures for the Liner. Two new majors were offered: Anthropology, previously part of the Sociology department, and American Studies. In addition, many new courses were added in existing fields. English majors, especially, found the entire field revamped with a larger variety of courses. A record tuition of 551,320 greeted the freshmen and stu- dents not on guaranteed tuition. Hamline's record enrollment represented over half of the states and 13 foreign countries, including japan, Israel, Kenya, Sweden, Chile, Canada, Korea, and Portugal. For returning students making few program changes, the annual procedure was relatively uncomplicated, but tiresome lines, coupled with the compromises made to arrange an in- volved schedule, left many others frustrated and weary.
