This is registration day at ABAG But the frenzy of events during the opening of Fall Quarter has been smoothed somewhat this year with Freshman Orientation held primarily during the summer. Groups of incoming students were acquainted with the campus and faculty as they spent three days here being tested, pre-registering, being away from home. The time prior to registration and the start of classes was occupied by unpacking, meeting roommates, dating, buying books, finding buildings and classrooms, seeing Tifton.

The fall product, Inherit the Wind by lerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee, portrayed the world famous Scopes' evolution trial. Set in a small Tennessee town, the trial and its participants, including a monkey, gave the audience insight into the tragic reality of a novel situation while humorously recounting the accurate occurrence. During the winter, Henry Fielding's spirited and unforgettable comedy, Tom lones, set l8th Century England rocked along from beginning to end with the sometimes ribald, always riotous misadventures of history's most famous foundling. Along with Tom Jones, Under the Sycamore Tree was presented. This farcical fable about a colony of ants, opens at a time when the society has become highly sophisticated. They have replaced verbal language with numbers, radio, television, and a secret weapon lDDTl have established superiority over the enemy ants.
