The place I had dreamed about for months, the paradise I had waited for all summer. I arrived and was greeted by 80 per cent humidity. So much for paradise. President Spence took a few minutes on Monday after- noon to welcome the fresh- men and transfer students. He did not, however, warn us of what lay ahead e the English Proficiency Test, meals in the cafeteria, or registration. Tuesday, we managed to start off right with devotions in the Chapel. We spent a few moments praying for those suffering with heat stroke from the sweltering heat in the Chapel. Tuesday's highlight was the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory tMMPD Test. Question: I am afraid of finding myself in a closet or small place, true or false. Or, I believe I am being fol- lowed, true or false. Only me and my psychologist know. With the MMPI over, we had only the Math Proficiency Test to go. Hot, tired, and crowded, we slaved through fractions, decimals, and minor calculations e all without a calculator! We finished the test to move on to the frustration of scheduling. Five schedule sheets and two migraine headaches later, 695 freshmen stood in the academic registra- tion line. ' Wednesday morning, I en- tered the gymnasium to regis- ter financially. Ten stations and $2000 poorer I finished. Suddenly, no more lines! I walked out the doors, breathed a sigh of relief, and dreamed about being a fresh- man. To settle her accounts properly, Debbie Meyer, freshman, stands by to give pertinent information. Melvin Coon, freshman and Wes Smith, sophomore wait for their turn at the registrar's desk. From financial aid to records and registration the lines flowed during the first week of school. Some students had to skip the first days of class to iinancially register. m lame lust one more form and I'll be done, is what every student hopes as he prises through the registration line.

Patience and persistence were necessary characteristics for surviving registration. Many students spent hours in line to pay their school bills. Valuable friendships began while students were Mingling on tMain Street here we come! This was the cry as more than 1800 students jammed that last box into the back seat in preparation for an unfor- gettable journey. Whether they traveled five or 500 miles to get here, it became a turning point in their lives. College became home and friends became family. Sad? Maybe for the families, but the students didn't seem to mind at all. As a matter of fact, they were too busy having and making fun to be homesick. Socially, those first few weeks were busy times for students. Skating, jogging, eat- ing, walking, and just driving around, provided some of the Ill ook out, Springfield, most popular forms of enter- tainment. The one thing, how- ever, that most students seemed to excel at was min- gling. Day and night, students clustered on the sidewalk running down the middle of campus tthe Main Street'Q, enjoying and making valuable friendships. It was a relaxed time, and the usual pressures to llget a date weren't at all evident. People were anxious to meet other people, not as a prospect, but as a fellow human being. Classes finally began, and students started a new exper- ience in their college careers - studying. Reactions to this necessity were varied; some hated it, some loved it, and some didn't do enough of it t. form an opinion. Like it or not, studies soon played a dominant role in daily life, and the teachers didn't let their classes forget it. At this point, free time was less available, and therefore students enjoyed it even more. The routine 0 college life had begun. This year began with sue a special sense of enthusias that it just had to be a unforgettable year.
