Closed classes, conflicts, confusion r The Recital Hall looks like Grand Central Station with registration in full swing. Where ' s my counselor . . . who signs here . . . when is that class . . . what is this blank for . . . how do I get to the payment line . . . Frustration rules as students scurry blindly around the Ad Building trying to find answers. Lines form for chapel seat assignments, car stickers, meal passes, library cards, until finally one is standing in line to stand in line. This year Olivet ' s enrollment increased considerably. The total enrollment for the year 1960-1961 was approxi- mately After registration is completed students are anxious to get to class to find out what they have signed up for. Some- times they are surprised. But one consolation is that an- other registration is coming up and they may be able to get the courses they need and want the next time. The end of the line is a welcome sight. Registration initiates our new faculty members. The bookstore is crowded as students prepare for classes.

Whirl of activities is exhausting Oh, my aching brain! One more test and I ' ll go crazy! Another freshman class has gone through the rigorous interrogation of Orientation Week. During this time tests are given to determine the students ' abilities and interests, and to detect deficiencies in their high school training. The students meet with their counselors and discuss the courses offered and required for their chosen fields. The feeling of being brainwashed is soon overcome, however, by the sequence of parties and teas which follows. These are more than rewarding for the hours spent taking tests. Emcee Ron Workman helps Frosh let down his hair at one of the many parties. m Too many names to remember presents a prob- lem as students meet the faculty.

Olivet responds to the call Who minds giving blood with nurses like this around? Danny Gold bravely rolled up his sleeve and gave. Temperature, blood pressure, heart beat— roll up your sleeve! The day finally arrived and a dubious crowd of students filled Birchard Field- house. The occasion was the annual visit of the Bloodmobile. Students filing slowly into the gym were met by an array of thermometers, needles, tables, and nurses. Fainting seemed to be the popular thing as some of our burly, muscle- bound male students passed out at the sight of blood. But even this didn ' t daunt us. Reminding ourselves of the great need, we grimaced and walked hesitantly to the tables. It was over be- fore we knew it and we walked confidently out to brag about our bravery. An interesting sidelight of the campus blood donation was a contest held between the fellows and girls to see which group could recruit the most donors. The weaker sex came through with 101 signing up; the guys signed up 94. Olivet ' s contributions totaled 171 pints, 50 pints above the quota. Minnie Woo missed the weight requirement by one pound in the examination given by the Red Cross. Here Mrs. John Zopf checks her blood pressure.
