Baskin Robbins lost out when the Union Board sold ice cream for a nickel a dip. Welcome back to ISU An Inexpensive and tasty treat was sewed at the soclal on Monday afternoon. Music on the Quad? Our Gang explosion? Gambling in the Union? Price reduction at the Grill? An inva- sion of little yellow coupon booklets heralded the onslaught of TMUB's an- nual Welcome Week. These coupon booklets were distributed by both bookstores, and one was also placed in each individual's mail box. The coupons contained in these booklets gave students discounts on meals in the Union Cafeteria, and great bargains on Grill food. There were also coupons for discounts on individual Welcome Week activities. such as a free scoop of ice cream or free entrance into a dance or a movie. Students found Welcome Week a welcome relief from the pressures of moving in and the hassle of registration. Monday August 23 began the week-Iong festivities with a dance and an ice cream social on the TMU patio. Students were treated to their choice of ice cream flavors for only a small fee. Our Gang movies were shown in Tilson Music Hall that evening, and a coffeehouse was presented in the Grill. Watermelon dominated Tuesday afternoon, as students purchased a slice for a dime. The fruit brought a welcome response from hot summer temperatures. Anyone wishing to stick around could participate in games such as frisbee, hopscotch, and badminton. An open house was held in the Union for anyone wishing to get out of the sun. Tuesday evening events lasted from Dusk to Dawn with students playing poker, Black Jack, ping pong, and pool; also a special Night at the Races was set up. Those students who didn't wish to join in on the gambling could go swimming in the Union Pool. Zoot , a rock band, played in the Heritage Room, and a coffeehouse was held in the Grill. Wednesday evening, students boogied to the music of Rage as part of a dance contest held in the Heritage Room. The movie Tommy was shown In Tilson Music Hall for those who preferred the music of Elton John, and the Grill was the scene of another coffeehouse. Thursday brought an end to the festivities, as students reluctantly trudged to class for the first time since summer break. Thursday evening more than compensated however, as students were treated to an outstan- ding performance by Barry Manilow and Lady Flash at Hulman Center.This concert highlighted the entire week's festivities, and students were overheard commenting on it weeks later. After such a full week, some students were actually glad to settle in a routine of classwork, while most of us were quite sorry to see it end. Barry Manilow started the long line of 76-77 concerts at HCUC when he appeared during Welcome Week. tS. Kuehlt

22 Running in c It was hassle time again! That three day period which all student learn to dread. ilHassle time is that required time better known as registration. First on the agenda was to arrange a schedule. After students made out a perfect one, they had to seek out their advisers. Once they tracked them down tusing methods even Sherlock Holmes would have enviedl they were ready to begin the real hassle. Headed for the arena at their exact appointed time, students passed Jed Smock, lSU's resident evangelist, who promised eternal regret if they didn't change their ways and repent. He served to 'darken the feeling of doom at registration. Students who already registered passed those students who had yet to face the ordeal. Evidence of the hassle they encountered included white faces, glazed eyes, sweaty brows, shaky hands and an empty wallet. Inside, everyone ran an obstacle course trying to line up classes. As students fought the battle of closed classes, they began to wonder why they even wanted to come to college. But at last everything fit together. So what if it was a deluge of eight olclocks and night classes! Enrollment was up only slightly during the fall semester. A total of 11,058 students attended ISU the first semester, compared with 11,012 last year. Encumbered! The plague of every college student ever to register has struck again. Besides a bigger bite out of the wallet. this usually means countless run arounds to various offices and a delay in registering, which results in more closed classes. tH. Strothersl. roles and circles
