X t s$?; Eatin ' Street Beat Grooves For Seventh Time Like an over-crowded town square on the Fourth of July, minus the fireworks, the street in front of Commons came to life Oct. 8. Swarming with an estimated 6,000 students, faculty members and children, the seventh bi-annual Eatin Street Beat began around 4:30 p.m. Like ants winding their way through intricate and unseen mazes, people filled their plates with heaping portions of the three tons of beef one-half ton of sausage, 120 gallons of potato salad, 700 pounds of beans, and 9,000 cokes. In keeping with the fall theme, Mr. Zodiac, the trees were adorned with posters and balloons proclaiming the ■°Age of Aquarius and Signs of the Times.

The Story of Registration The flow of traffic was contimioiis through the regular registration area on the three designated floors of the Library Administration Building. The first day regis- trants numbered 3,747. However, antagonized students winding their wa through mazes of fish-net- ted bookshelves to find that the only course section that could possibly fit into their .schedule was closed for two days didn ' t even find the smooth operation of the registration area any too relieving. No, despite ef- forts by the registrar and his aids, registration will never cease to become Excedrin headache No. 9999 by the end of the day. Betty Wilke, an Austin sophomore, was obviously watched through the eyes of a camera while she was suffering the pangs of registration this January. A Busi- ness Administration major, she soon took refuge in a near-by library chair to pour over the schedule paper tr ing to arrange her classes to fit what was open. On her way again, Betty seems to have been met with other problems, judging from her confused expressions. But with a little help from Math Instructor Daniel Lee, Betty was soon able to continue her journey through the maze to sign up for more classes. Reaching her des- tination at the final check table, the coed, a bit harried but relieved, emerges from her fourth registration at SWT. Betty probably wonders now whether or not she ' ll make it through another day like the one she just survived.

Nine Floors House Library When the Hbrary moved from Flowers Hall to the new Library Administration Building, books were separated into various categories and filed on shelves on floors one through nine. The first two floors of the complex are used by administrative personnel. The expanded area now allows for more students to utilize card catalogs, research and study space with greater adequacy and ease. Study carrels, tiny rooms with desks and lockers, are available for confined study. Grad- uate students and faculty working on research projects head the priority list for these areas. These pictures show the area that affords students, facul- ty and administrators the opportunity for extensive research and study in their proper fields. Below are (left to right) Mrs. Winnie Homeyer, Mrs. Elizabeth Jackson and Mr. Louis Maloney at the Library Open House last fall. Maloney is head librarian. Mrs. Jackson ' s husband was head librarian from 1926 to 196.5.
