in A NEW EXPERIMENT for a new semester proves fascinat- ing but requires intense concentration from this student. Eds, Coeds Settle Down With Advent Of Classes For the students who survive registration, classes are inevitable. Thus North Texans search for the proper classroom and slide into chairs just as the bell sounds and the teacher strolls in. Much looking around for familiar faces ensues as the prof checks the IBM roll. Then old hands listen for tomorrow's assignment and term projects and hope that the teacher allows many cuts and gives frequent walks. Maybe he grades on the curve, and maybe his final exams cover only the material since the last test, and not the whole course. In freshman classes, eager students soon find that differences in college life extend beyond dorm living, Howdy Week, dances, and the UB. Now is the time that the library once again is occupied, labs filled, and rooms are used for something besides gabfests. Eds and coeds are indoctrinated into the business side of going to college. wi... ,sf . fa X , To .1 L IN eff 3 l 4 ? , V W ' 'Wigwam SHORT-CUTTING through the library, students find their way to the right building and room for each new course.

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.

I QUAD FOUR GIRLS gather around the Christmas tree in the living room to hear the traditional Christmas vespers. THIS COED is really hooping it up as her friend looks on, amused by her gyrations- Dorm Life Offers Girls Chance For Play, Study Dormitory life for a coed has three facets- the domestic, the social, and the scholastic. Every girl enjoys planning the decor of her room, but not every coed delights in keeping her home-away-from-home spic and span for the dorm mother's inspecting eyes. She must also find time to wash and iron her clothes as part of her house- keeping chores. Girls soon familiarize themselves with the com- munity property laws of the dorm and quickly learn which friend wears just the right size dress or has the perfect pair of earrings. Then the comrades enjoy a year 0-f surprise birthday parties, midnight bridge and coffee get-togethers, and wee-hour chats. In between chores and socializing, a coed finds a spare moment for cramming knowledge into a busy mind. With luck, she may even find an already-Written paper.
