Freshmen Learn Ropes, Make Auditorium Home Orientation is a time of learning-learning about the approaching registration, learning about campus traditions, and learning how to live with other North Texans. The learners use the audi- torium as home base, and minds are filled with information by week's end. First freshmen, then transfers, congregate in the auditorium for briefings. They are instructed to pick up their IBM card packets after one ses- sion, but on the way to the administration building, freshmen stop in the UB to buy green class beanies. At a special assembly, newcomers hear 'Fessor and the Aces swing a tune and learn the North Texas yells with the assistance of the Eagle cheer- leaders. On the serious side, newcomers take place- ment tests for English classes. As classes begin, the new Eagles learn to dis- tinguish the old ad building from the new and settle down for a year of hard work-and play.

FISH READY their card packets and discuss the pitfalls of registration, that they are to face for the first time. A CADET in registration line explains the advantages of belonging to the AFROTC to this dubious freshman. NIWFE THIS REGISTRATION line for English strengthens some students' firm belief that English shouldn't be required. Eager Students Line Up For Yearly Registration Newcomers stumble blindly through registra- tion, the scourge of any North Texan, and upper- classmen count their remaining times to go through this tiring process. Who can forget the broiling sun and the chilly spring winds that pester every student while he waits in the long, winding registration line to enter the confusion in the library beyond? Then the poor Eagle finds himself waiting to have his cards checked, waiting for a section to re-open, waiting for the final check, and waiting to pay his fees. In short, registration is a process of waiting. Students arrange for a post office box and head for the book store, thus ending registration. A BLANK STARE is about all a fellow can muster when he runs into an obstacle in the hectic registration line.
