f Neg 'mf'- mmf ' f .,,,,.,'K it . Mkwbf, . it -me I f Registration An obstacle for all students, new and old, at the beginning of each semester is registration. lnnumerable cards must be filled out, signed, stamped, punched and sometimes lost before the routine of classes may begin. The process may end smoothly in half an hour, or it may take several hours of organized confusion before a student is registered. The issuing of ROTC uniforms is just one of the many features of registration. Other courses also require new material: art sup- plies, theme hoolalets, uiorkhooles, notebooks, paper, pencils, slide rules anti hooks, hooks, hooks. The longest lines always form at the tahles for required courses, such as this one for the literature core courses, Most men students must take ROTC for two years. Other required courses for students are communication skills, math, physical etlucatiorz, language, social sci- ence, natural science and history. 26
