Activities Fair promotes campus organizations Below: Mike Ford explains the purpose of the con- flicts simulation club to fair-goers, teft: Wanda Lough waits at her booth (o answer any questions from passers-by. Bottom: The bloodmobile was an- other of the many organizations represented at the Activities Fair. Anyone who had anything to say or advertise, did so at the Activities Fair in Alumni Hall. Unlike previous years when it was held during registra- tion week, this year the fair took place during the first week of classes. The three day event gave 104 organizations the opportunity to sell themselves as they handed out pamphlets, buttons and a lot of free information. The fair catered to all tastes and in- terests, and there was something for David lay everyone. Booths were set up on be- half of whales, WQAX, the Indiana School for the Deaf, and many other organizations. Even the Red Cross was represented and they were, quite liter- ally, out for blood. — Deborah Johnson

Indiana University President John Ryan under-estimated when he predicted that the 1975 enrollment for all the IU campuses might reach the historic mark of 75,000. The total en- rollment for ' 75-76 is 76,905 students with 36,651 in Bloomington. Even though registration for the fall semester at Bloomington was plagued by heat and new surroundings, the kids kept coming and the numbers kept growing. This year, registration was held at the fieldhouse on 17th Street instead of Wildermuth Intramural Cen- ter. — Sandy Hanna Going through the maze of registration can be a frustrating experience, as the chances of enrolling in the desired classes vary with a student ' s major and year in school. — a! iSllfi PaJ BB J r wjp irtP ' ' ' . — -- ' .

AUCtiOn entices the imagination and the pocketbook as bargains attract fall bidders Eyes carefully scrutinize the first item up for bid. Potential buyers mentally debate: Should I buy this or wait for something a bit more practi- cal? A hesitant hand rises above the crowd; the auctioneer barks, Sold to number 665! By the end of the evening, number 665 and hundreds of others who wer- en ' t going to buy a thing , leaves the annual University Auction with enough bargains to last until next September. Gym lockers suddenly become utility room furnishings and old dormitory mailboxes are envisioned as unique apartment decorations by anxious bid- ders. You simply get caught up in the auction ' s atmosphere, explains one student, and before you know it, you ' re the highest bidder! — Kathy Furore R.ck Wood
