AFTER TWO LONG WEEKS OF ORIENTATION, freshmen get fired up on Friday for the first game of the season on Saturday. Dressed as Choctaws, the fresh- men are anxious to learn the cheers of the land of the Blue and Gold. OBSERVING THE HAREM OF GIRLS Billy Rayburn had encircled around him, Mike Harkins believed the charm was the Bible. Mike grabbed the Bible and immediately Cathy Cole became attracted to him. ASSISTANT BSU DIRECTOR, Dennis (Den-Den) Atwood, promises Billy Rayburn he can play the guitar at the next gathering. Many thanks to Angela Smith, without whom none of this would have been possible; Group leaders and SBA members, without whom none °t this would have been financially probable; and the ' 85 freshman without whom none of this would have been necessary! — Cherie Neyrey — ers busy — a picnic here, a rap session there Nighttime brought on more exciting activities.

REGISTRATION Nothing short of mass confusion could describe the freshman ' s first try at the class card” step. Without the direction of some very patient faculty members, this could ' ve been an all-day excursion! An annual favorite is the dreaded I.D. picture . Cries of But yellow just isn ' t my color! ' could be heard, and also screams of agony as freshmen realized they would be tied to this picture for nine months. And, of course, the classic is the freshmen ' s first look at their bill. (No way, does this cost this much! ) This year ' s class handled it pretty well, but there were a few scary moments when some freshmen couldn ' t find scholarship papers. In the end, it all worked itself out. It always does. And every year it gets easier and easier. The only problem is— by the time you ' ve figured out the system, you ' ve graduated! WHAT TO TAKE AND WHEN TO TAKE IT, meet.ng with the odv.sor mokes a little sense out of it all The line formed early in the morning and moved at a snail ' s pace for most of the day. Unfor- tunately, this was not general admission to the latest rock concert. Nope — it was Missis- sippi College registration, and it ' s an experience you are not likely to forget. Meeting with their advisors, freshmen discovered that — no, 1 5 hours doesn ' t mean 1 5 hours a day and yes — chapel is re- quired, and My books weigh more than your books ! LOOK THROUGH THE FILES again— I promise I ' m me, Laura Landrum THE SUM TOTAL OF ALL THE PARTS , Mr. Shearer from the Business Office helps students through the most dreaded part of the registration.
