. . . Assimilation . . . Initiation into college life never changes, but it is very special to each freshman. The excitement of meeting new people and getting accustomed to a completely different mode of existence leaves little time for homesickness or regret. One of DSC’s newcomers, Maureen Johnson, discovered this fact during her first few days at Dickinson. After getting settled in her room in Woods Hall, she had to take required entrance tests. The next important step was registration, and the acquiring of an advisor in the field she thought she might want to major in. Patience, persistence, and good-na- tured tolerance do pay off when waiting to get class cards! Maureen finally became a bona fide registrant and was ready to begin a new life as—college student. 23

Registration Ends Conflicts Registration always includes a few confused under- graduates. Dr. Olson, dean of students, is the man to see if someone needs to be squeezed into an already crowded class, or if seemingly insurmountable conflicts arise. At the end of the two days, each student usually has been satisfied—or pacified—and the library only echoes the business and bustle of the last forty-eight hours. 25
