Registration still a mess after years of change There is no other experience at Creighton quite hke registration. No matter how many times you ' ve waited in the unending hues, filled out all the forms, and seen all the proper people, it is just as bewildering as the first time you were pushed through as a freshman. It looks easy enough on the little yellow sheet you The list of closed classes grows ominously larger, to the dismay of those students with late registration times. are handed as you enter the gym. All you need to do is go from station to station. Easy enough. What they don ' t tell you is that 200 people are doing the same thing the same time you are. If you ' re one of the fortunate few, you can get in early enough to get all your classes approved. But pity the poor freshman or transfer student who finds out his section (or entire class) is closed. Many a beautiful schedule has gone up in smoke on Friday afternoons. But what ' s really so bad about having to get up at 8 o ' clock five days a week? Once you have those treasured computer cards in your hand, it ' s a simple matter to fill out all the re- quired fo rms. If nothing else, Creighton will make sure you know how to write your name by the time you get out. From now on, all that remains is to have your forms checked and re-checked, ID ' s validated and to get your new food card. And. oh yes, there ' s the slight hitch of paying for it all. Somehow, though, after registration it doesn ' t seem to matter — your mind is already destroyed, why not your bank account? 26

Labor Day Beer Blast initiates social year With classes only a week old and thoughts of im- pending tests, papers, and studying just beginning to creep into their minds, students had one last chance to recall the carefree days of summer as the Student Board of Governors sponsored the annual fall beer blast over the Labor Day weekend. Unlike previous years when Hill Haven seemed to be the natural setting for a Creighton beer blast, this fall ' s edition, due to legal turmoil in Sarpy County, was moved to Peony Park. The new location gave stu- dents added opportunities to wander around the park grounds and enjoy the rides. The beer was free, food was available for a small charge and a band called Man vs. Man provided the music. Because of a city ordinance the band stopped early, but the party did not. The beer continued to flow, students laughed and talked and it was obvious that the 1972-73 school year was underway. Katie Lawler was forced to shout in order to be heard over the din of the band Mil e Loughlin mal es sure students don t become thirsty as he ceeps the steady stream of beer flowing 28 Bi3La!Kaiiett!U iM198IiB9[I«sn{SiraH »n iliuu»HKnii«m nu
