REGISTRATION CONFI ' SION RAMPANT, Registration Day proves to be the general melee that it usuaily is. with standing in line the order of the day. The approved list of professors was eagerly scanned by anxious eyes. FORMS. BLANKS. CARDS, in endless profusion provide enough red tape to keep the Registrar ' s office busy for months — every bit of which is highly necessary for the efficient handling of classes, grades, cuts. etc.. etc. ARRIVING FRESHMAN COEDS, as yet unaware of the fact that they have to stay in Bostwick for their first year, give one of the girls a hand in unloading her baggage from the waiting pick-up truck.

m AND SO THE YEAR BEGAN . . . • On September 11, approximately 460 students converged on Wake Forest to officially begin the 1950-51 scholastic year. Four days later, over seventeen-hundred students had arrived. They rep- resented all the counties of North Carolina, thirty- two states, one territory, and one foreign country The new students arrived three days earlier than the others in order to participate in a thorough orientation program that introduced them to the buildings, foculty, courses, and activities Into the midst of the innocent faces with nameplotes, the older students gradually came Struggling through a bevy of lost records and lost students, the process of registration followed orientation. There was a shortage of everything from advisers to courses. The former mattered very little, since few students will take advice from any- body. The shortage of courses did motter Every- one agreed that the college should have more crip-courses. After closses began, students wandered in and out of lectures seeking the elusive quality point courses. There |ust were not enough such courses to go around. Many students struggled into classes several days late. The inconsiderate professors hod not waited for them Such students were far behind the others who could not get behind fast enough By the time of the first football game with Boston College, everybody was pretty well behind The profs roved and ranted, and the students moaned and groaned The year had reolly begun OFF TO boston: Big Deacon backs Bub Jones, Joe Koch, and Bill Miller pla ed big parts in the fight ith the B.
