Spring | Registration It is in many ways sad that spring registration occurs when it does; ‘tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy’, etc., still abound after two weeks of turkey and eggnog, then leftover turkey and eggnog. It comes, none the less, and is something of a misnomer, for there is nothing spring-like in trudging across the Monticellonian tundra in pursuit of a class sched- ule. There is some consolation in coming back for the second semester, though. The faces are familiar and everyone goes through the traditional ‘hello, how was your holiday? The real problem with spring registration lies in its complexity and time-consuming qualities. Let’s face it: registration is not fun, and for the past two weeks, the most strenuous thing that most of us have done is the opening of a gift or two and countless trips to the refrigerator. The veteran student, however disgruntled as he may be, am- bles grizzly-like about the campus, face flushed and trailing clouds of frigid vapor. After a few years it all becomes automatic. We've searched diligently for more good things to say about spring registration, and have even gone so far as to go downstairs and ask someone, but it seems that the renewal of friendships is the only moderately pleasant thing about it. Sorry. DR. WALTER GODWIN assists two students with class cards during registration. 40 Student Lite

cataclysmic crystals South Arkansas seems to be plagued by inclimate weather, by accident or possibly retribution from high- er up. In any case, we are forced to brave the sudden violence of tornado season, summer's stifling heat and winter’s chill in succession (with a short spring break). Ice is the most foreign of the meteorological nui- sances experienced in the Monticello area. This year, it created a variety of problems including as much as a week without power in some places on campus and millions of dollars of timber and property damage in the immediate area. THOUGH BEAUTIFUL beyond description, the ice created destruction beyond measure. ee ee ae eee on en ee eee oe ee ee ALVIN BLACK strolls amid the crystalline scenario.
