While getting adjusted to the hectic pace of registration, one week brings the university together for another semester by Kevin Fambrough Whoever said the first week of anything is the hardest must have been a college student. From the time the dorms opened on Sunday to the closing of the week with a happy hour at a night spot, the emphasis was on endur- ance and patience. At the 2 p.m. opening of the dorms for the fall semester, students driving on campus found themselves backed up on Louisiana Highway 1 and swamped with other residents to register in the lobbies of the dorms.

Freshman orientation on Monday morning brought over 1600 into Shaver Gym, an indica- tion of the record 6,400 students Nicholls would enroll in the fall. Dwight Boudreaux, director of housing, was cut short in his welcome when the electricity in Shaver Gym failed and he was forced to direct alphabetical groups of freshmen to their stu- dent guides. Following single file into the August heat, groups walked to pre-arranged meetings with President Vernon Galliano, other administra- tors, their academic deans and students of importance like the student government presi- Housing Director Dwight Boudreaux uses a bullhorn when the power failed in Shaver Gym.
