Fall Term pence S| People wait in line for their meal at the Ox Roast The simple mechanics of beginning a new school year are enormous. With over 6,800 students on campus for the Fall term, scheduling and room assignments provided many frustra- tions. Fall registration was held in the Starr Building. A smooth- working system permitted them to register. To compensate for the trial of patience, the annual Wel- come Back Ox Roast was held September 18. The Ox Roast was given by the community of Big Rapids as a goodwill ges- ture by businessmen to show their appreciation to the Ferris students, faculty and administration. Hundreds of pounds of beef were served to over 5,000 people. Appetites grow as Ferris students watch the “Ox” being sliced for savory sandwiches. Pete Kent of the Chamber of Commerce presents a plaque to Phi Delta Chi president Tim Williams in appreciation for their help with the Ox Roast.
