At the beginning of the school year, the universityis growth was made graphically apparent. An im- pressive statistic came to life in the form of nearly 20,000 students at Registration. From the guileless fresh- man to the battle-scarred senior, the war of the class cards swept over its victims and victors, leaving frazzled nerves on both sides of each cluttered and busy table. Certainly recent years have seen nearly as many students pass through the Crowded Aud in the hectic days of Registration, but this year seemed somehow different. Perhaps it was simply the change in the route of the gauntlet of rubber stamps and eagle-eyed checkers, or perhaps the increased tuition. The change may have come from any number of reasons, but the most likely seemed to lie in the tempo of the year, one of growth becoming stabilized.

IGOR, THE friendly iguana, rests with Ray Pawley, MSU herpetology major, after his unescorted tour of East Lansing. .

The culpritis name was Igor, an honestly lovable fraternity mascot, but unfortunately, an extremely large and ugly lizard with a natural aptitude for frightening women. Happily, Igor was at large for only a short time, kept pretty much to himself and was returned to his master with no damage done. CAMPUS APPLE addicts found an ample supply avail- able from this new machine. 9
