I Q ' 1 Y,-V , YnY,,sL?'Q, V The stamping of the 'trial schedule card marks the be- ginning of the ritual of registration. This line leads to the basement of the library where overdue bills are paid, SHIELDS are purchased, Student Organization fees are assessed . . . confusion! Registration is the obstacle course which is a prerequisite to the inner sanctums of the academic community. Anyone who can endure registration with its seemingly endless lines, flurry of cards, closing classes, ump-teen million fees, snarling professors, and leering students selling chances on old term papers, gold-trimmed, pearl-encrusted pogo sticks, or a life-size portrait of Ringo, deserves a medal . . . but the line forms at the rear, Hurry Up and Wait! With apprehension and disbelief, students gaze on as their fees are assessed. 5 i i Nearing the end of the line, Tommy Taylor appears pleased as he gains admission to the Dean's table.

RUSH! RUSH! Tl-IE GREEKS' From amid the infinite piles of books, papers, and assignments comes the Greek call of today. Its echoes can be heard throughout the world wherever man's love for man exists as a spirit of mutual understanding for the achievement of common goals. Almost as old as our nation, the Greek voice has continued to ring loud and strong on the campuses of most colleges and universi- ties. The formal rush programs carried on by the Greek organizations at MSC are approximately the same in length and entail similar systems of fraternal salesman- ship. Rushees are greeted with a firm handshake and pleasant smile characteristic of active members who have spent weeks in preparation of the rush program. In spite of a strict quota system placed on sororities and the need for additional fraternal organizations, the Greeks are an integral part of campus life at Murray State. Rushees were entertained by The Mexican Hat Dance at the Tri-Sigma party. CALL CDP TCD Y
