The notorious I.D. photographs are taken during Registration Week. Where did he learn to take pictures? Registration is a confusing and tiring ordeal through which all students must go in order to receive an education, and an N.l.U. student is no exception. It seemed as if there was no end to the lines in which the Northern student found himself, and these lines only brought him work and trouble. The line in which he paid the registration fees made his bank account disappear in a few seconds. After a long wait in another line, he was forced to pose for o flatter- ing photograph, commonly known as an I.D. picture. The various colored cards which he received in the next line called for his name and address over and over again. lf he was lucky, he was able to get the class cards he wanted, but otherwise he was forced to take any section that was available. When he had all his class cards ond he had finally completed registration, he headed for the Student Union. Here he ioined an even longer line and waited for a much-needed cup of coffee. He was certainly glad that classes were beginning, for there never seemed to be any lines to get into classes. He gave a sigh of relief as he realized that registra- tion was over for another semester. English 336 is closed. What am I going to take in place of it? Business ll0 is open: I wonder if l can make it to the Registrar's Office before it closes? Chow time at last! Registering builds up a whooping appetitel K 6'l5'7Rfl7l0N W EK 1

RIENNITION WEHC Unpacking is the first iobg the next is to meet the new roommates. Welcome, welcome, welcome. The new student heard that word everywhere he went during that first week-New Students Week. He heard it from his new room- mates as he arrived with his overflowing boxes and suitcases. He heard it from the faculty at his first orientation meeting. He heard it from the upperclassmen. That week was filled with activities! All the tests the new student took left him feeling rather brain-washed, but he man- aged to find enough strength to explore his new home and to iust gala with his newly acquired friends. He found plenty of time for socializing, too. The Welcome Square Dance left him huffing and puffing, but he enioyed it. Church and dorm open houses, as well as mixers, provided numer- ous opportunities for meeting his fellow students. He could see movies or go shop- ping in DeKalb for sweat-shirts and other evidences of college life. The Registration Dance made him realize that it meant the end of one care-free week and the beginning of four years of hard work, but by then he felt as though he were really a part of N.l.U. He began to look forward to the studies, as well as the fun. ' ' :ew Now let's see. From here we go to Ad. 214 and then to the library, or are we supposed to go to the library tirst? This is more like itl There is still a chance to take advantage of some leisure time before the work of the semester descends upon the campus.

Margaret and Marilyn Miller, Julie Emro and Jackie Bryan receive punch from Louise Walters in Williston Hall at the Big-Little Sister Tea. The Big-Little Sister Tea, sponsored an- nually bythe Associated Women Students, is held in the living room of Williston Hall one Sunday afternoon at the beginning of each semester. At the tea all incoming freshman women are introduced to their big sisters, who are upperclass women. Every freshman receives a personal invita- tion to attend the tea. The purpose of this event is to acquaint the 'Freshman women with the campus, various members of the administration, and other members of their own class. Fil- ing through a reception line, they meet the dean of women, the dormitory directors and omcers, and the officers ofthe A.W.S. ,-. mlm. r4L'7lVl7l55' B 6'llV ONCZ' AWIIN Something new was added to this year's annual ac- tivities carnival-the name, Bazaarnival. Sponsored by the Associated Women Students, the bazaarnival introduced new and former students to the activities of various clubs and organizations on campus. Shirley White, A.W.S. activities chairman, and her committees chose the name Bazaarnival because it typified the atmosphere of a carnival and a bazaar. Organizations which wanted to participate were in- vited to sign up in the Dean of Women's office. On Wednesday, October i, the groups set up their booths in the Still Gymnasium. At 7:30 P.M. the bazaarnival began. The themes depicted were varied and many. Cash prizes were awarded to the three best displays. The booths were judged for effectiveness in stating the organization's purpose, cleverness and originality of ideas, and attractiveness. First prize went to the Fine Arts Guild. People passing their booth were given a chance to show their artistic ability by working in such proiects as fingerpainting and sculpturing.
