After chapel students dash for the post office in hopes of finding a letter from home. Relaxation Bull - session . . . coffee . . . rolls A hot roll and a cup of coffee following chapel provide for a pleasing recess. The hard-working college student sel- dom finds time to indulge in one of his more favorite recreations on campus- relaxation. However, when the necessary time can be found, he can relax by listen- ing to records on the stereo, playing jokes on unsuspecting victims, chewing the rag with friends, slee ping in class, or more commonly, having a Pepsi in the Universe. For the more energetic stu- dent there is basketball, baseball, swim- ming, and other physical activities. Devotional relaxation can be found in the regular Sunday and Wednesday evening services, by attending Prayer Band from 6:15 to 7:00 in the evening, and in private devotions, either in the individual ' s room or in the conveniently located dorm prayer rooms. For most students, life is so busy that some relaxation is a physical and psychological necessity.

Registration Cards . . . Counselors . . . Signatures But why do I have to take Personal Development? Prof. Slagg explains the course requirements to a new Freshman. Mr. Fletcher, Comptroller, explains method of payment to a student. Tlie secretary may smile, but it still costs money. The instruction first heard on Registration Day was, Obtain forms in main foyer of Burke Administration Building. Instructions from that time on were found in the packets along with the forms. The directions required several stops and the signing of many cards. Recital Hall was the place where the student spent most of his time on registration day. There, although at first glance it looked like a place of mass confusion, the student received personal counselling to guide him in his selection of courses. Although sometimes he was slowed down in process of registration by standing in lines, closing of classes, and the signing of cards, he usually reached the last station where his cards were stamped Approved by Registrar in less than two hours. This fall, 1036 went through the registration process— upperclassmen on Saturday, September 9. and the Freshmen on Monday, September 11.

Study . . Research In Memorial Library The Memorial Library is frequented by students in search of informa- tion, books, and solitude for study. The carrells are used by those students wishing to use reference materials, maga- zines, and journals. Whether searching for research material, browsing for books to read for enjoyment, or studying, many Olivetians make daily use of the Memorial Library. There are two spacious reading rooms and there are individual carrels near the open stacks located on each floor. There is a typing room where students may type notes from reference books, periodicals, or other ma- terials. A music room provides an opportunity for students to hear recordings and to study the scores at the same time. Other features for our enjoyment are the art displays, periodicals, and filmstrips. The library is efficiently operated by the staff of librarians, Ruth Gilley, Adeline Van Antwerp, Joyce Cox, and Mrs. Isenberg. The duties of filing, checking out books, collecting fines, and reshelving books fall to student assistants. ONC library is one of the best among colleges of ONC ' s size. Learning to use the helps of the library, such as the well-equipped card catalog room, adds to the convenience of studying.
