The Mass of the Holy Ghost. In early October the students and the 1957-58 school year were dedicated to the honor and glory of God during the Mass of the Holy Ghost at Saint Cecilia ' s Cathedral. Archbishop Bergan officiated. That same afternoon the students gathered in the Music Hall of the City Auditorium for Con- vocation ceremonies. Father Reinert welcomed the students to Creighton. Dean Jarrett of the School of Pharmacy and Rev. David Shyne, S.J. were chosen by the administration to receive this years honors. Later this year Dean Jarrett passed away leaving behind him a fine record that will be re- membered for a long time by the members of the University. The Co-ed tea in early Autumn was high-lighted by a fashion show put on by the J. L. Brandeis Com- pany. The female faction of the University ex- changed bobby-sox and loafers for hose and heels, and took only one lump instead of two. A truly great man One lump or two?

The lull before the storm. Fall came with a gust of wind, some new faces and Registration. Tables were set up in the gym, along with a public address system. The priests and lay faculty met as forms were conveniently placed on the tables in the halls and corridors to add to the confu- sion. At 8:30 on the morning of September 15th, the first of 2800 students filed into the gym. Cries of What am I doing? Ive got to get into History I-J, and But, Father — I ' m working filled the empty spaces. A hoarse cry would occasionally break through the noise with Theology 20-F, as in frustra- tion, is now closed. Once the student got through the IBM line, he could look forward to an hour or two of forms. Then on to the check-out table. Three hours and two-hund- red and thirty-five dollars later, the student was an official member of Creighton University and eligible to join the orbit of Student Life. The storm. Cheer up, it ' s not that bad. 4! • ' r ' .■ Fall comes to the Hilltop. A Got change for a five?

' W 0 ' The Orbit started to expand early with the soon-to-die rush for Orientation, the spirit of elections and all the posters and propaganda that floated around, giving a little of our AB blood to help set a record, or defying all rules by reaching for a hand across the table in the Center. ' Hands Across the Table O tempora, mores! ' We ' re all in our places with sun-shiny faces. Confusion at this time was settling down to a smooth routine when quarter exams came around and managed to up- set the apple-cart of knowledge. After any exam time, though, the student can always return to normal study pattern, dances, and sports. Purple heart material.
