Registration Da Registration day has got to be one of the biggest traumas of the year. This year was no exception with the arrival of a record breaking freshman class and the large numbers of returning and transfering students. The whole event could be summed up in one term, lines. Students found themselves in lines to pay their fees, pick up financial aid packets, enrolling in classes, receiving their meal tickets, vehicle registrations and so on. As in the previous year students had to clear the accounting office first before moving on to actual class enrolling. Once this was done students pre-registered moved on to other things while those who had not previously registered proceeded to the various divisions to add or drop the appropriate classes. Contrary to previous years, students signed actual class ...., , lists at this time rather than pulling the usual computer cards which resulted in less confusion on the part of the student body and an easier work load for the registrars office. Its been said if you can make it thru registration day the rest of the year is down hill. Even if this may not be true, it is defintely a load off ones mind. Bl-va' 1.

Welcome To Graceland Initiations become an integral part of campus life during the beginning of the school year with this year being no exception. The escapades of the upperclassmen began early. Unsuspecting freshmen and others were officially welcomed to Graceland in late night hours, early morning hours or in some cases every hour, on the hour in between. Of course, their were those so-called normal daytime initiations too. New students were involved in a variety of follow the leader games, singing exhibitions, Mickey Mouse imitations not to mention contests for the best dressed frosh. Taco parties, a trip to Eagleville or dinner at the commons, or just catching up on those hours of lost sleep usually followed. Another aspect of initiations revolve around the formal initiations in which members of the house placed emphasis on the more serious side of the purpose of the house and the bonds shared within. Regardless of the method, initiations proved to be an enjoyable and friendship building experience or at least a very memorable part of the year. TS in Kiki ffl RFQ' iii' 5. K.
