After traveling long hours with a carload of clothes, books and other necessities, students arrived to fill the dormitory rooms. For freshmen it was a new experience but for most upper classmen it was a headache. Standing in long lines to receive room keys, linens and roommate assignments added to the day ' s frustration. With the aid of friends and parents, students finally got their room in order and set- tled down for the fall semester. Another problem students had to deal with was the lack of parking space around the dorms. Spaces close to the dorm entrances were at a premium and those that arrived early were afforded the choice locations.

Phrases like these befuddled students during registration. Long lines often made for short tempers, but if students could tolerate the in- convenience for a half a day, they emerged from the coliseum with a new schedule. It may not have been the one they originally planned; it may not have lasted the semester without changes, but for each student who endured the process, the end of registration meant the beginning of relief.
