Chaos Still Part Of Registration One basis of a successful year is a good class schedule. Registration, an evil necessity, is a time when freshmen are introduced to Howard's bureaucracy - lines, lines and more lines. Attempting to aid the distressed, the administration pre-registered 500 freshmen and as many upper-classmen during the proceeding spring in an effort to relieve much of the misery and confusion of registration.

Then the campus began to seem smaller, the food gi.: worse, the walls seemed less hostile, and the newcomers began to feel more at case. This orientation period included many social activities: a talent show, a fashion show, a picnic, a movie, and a boat ride In spite of efforts to make freshmen week more relevant and less chaotic, it was basically the same, as it always has been and probably always will be Above Lett A mother waits with the lun gage Below Right Co-ed's shirt gives an tude oi new freshmen.
