-'Q Students Brave Long, Hot Line in Registration The lineis always the sameg many of the faces are new, the clothes different, but the line's the same. And it was longer this year, more than 1,500 bodies longer than last year. Even berinudas and no socks didn't stop the sweat from coming . . . you could see it on the foreheads and shirts of those in line. It was then you were glad that only 6,065 students were here instead of 20,000. People told you that registration was more organized than ever, but it seemed just as long, just as tiring. They sat at those tables and told you how your feet felt, what you thought when you eouldn't get that trig class and had to rework your schedule. They told you what time you registered . . . what they really told you was the time you'd get in line. They told you 'yesl and 'no' as you pushed and squeezed your way to different parts of the building, And once your feet had been stepped on, your cards had been checked, bent, stamped and refchccked, you were on your way to the Student Union to another line -a shorter one-but still a line. The girl figuring your bill was nice and her fore- head showed no signs of sweat or dirt. Her quickness made you glad you weren't in the line beside her, where the bills were being done and redone. It only took a second to hand that teller a check, and as you walked toward the door you wondered if it would be worth the ordeal. As they stamped your ID card and gave you a desk calendar, you knew it would.

Tempe Crump, Houston freshman, was one of 400 freshmen attending the retreat and wasn't the only 'slime' with '68 written all over her face-literally. Chances are it washed off, but the spirit emanating from the group was carried hack to the campus by the class that's really great . . . the elass of '68. Freshmen, Humphrey Greeted by BU 'Howdy' Hubert H. Humphrey made a whistle-stop visit to Waco early in September on his vice-presidential campaign swing into Texas. Baylor Young Democrats greeted him at the airport and joined the waiting throng at Lake Air Mall to hear him speak. r. The third annual Alpha Omega-sponsored Howdy Week had a new look . . . a queen. Cara Sue Morton, Enid, Okla. fresh- man, was chosen by her class to reign. The eoronation of the queen, with a brown Stetson, at the first pep rally of the year, ended a week of exuberant HOWDIES and festivities-iw cluding a barbecue, parade and various other 'functionsil The Nose Brotherhood made its first impromptu but almost expected appearance of the year as Brother Faithful Nose I0 volunteered to lead off the AO Howdy Week Parade.
