Chase away homesick blues New and returning students were greeted with a warm welcome by the Program Council during Orientation Week as the group slated a variety of nightly activities designed to ease the anxieties of adjusting to a new environment and life style. And, students did find something to do each night which enabled them to meet new friends and chase away the homesick blues. Monday, students gyrated to the disco sounds of “Rusty Ross and the Jam Machine.” It was Sub Night Tuesday at the Student Center. More than 85 students competed for prizes in pool, chess, pingpong, spades, dominos and backgammon tournaments. The nest day the cinema screen was lit up with “All-Day Movies” in the Art Gallery. Students watched “Bill Cosby on Prejudice,” “The 39 Steps,” an Alfred Hitchcock thriller, “The General” a Buster Keaton comedy, and “A Farewell to Arms.” Later that evening, the horror movie “Night of the Living Dead” was shown. Thursday, students donned cardboard 3-D movie glasses for the council’s Creature Feature, a genuine 3-D showing of “The Creature from the Black Lagoon.” The council took a night off Friday, but the TKEs filled the void with an outdoor rock concert featuring “Riff Raff.” Students filled the Outdoor Theatre at Kokernot Lodge to hear the San Antonio group. It was dance time again Saturday night as Top-40s group “West Wind” performed in Mountainside Cafeteria. Labor Day saw a special event with an outdoor meal and concert at Kokernot Lodge. Wendel Adkins, a country and western entertainer, was the star attraction. When the Program Council finally took a breather, the week of entertainment and things to do had welcomed more than 500 freshman to Sul Ross. So who says there was nothing to do during Freshman Orientation Week. 12 student life

The Registration Survival Kit As more and more students struggle through registration each semester it becomes apparent that some type of survival kit is needed to lessen the frustration, anxiety and helplessness some students experience while standing in lines, collecting class cards and paying out. Listed here are a few everyday household items which can be placed in a cardboard box and thus serve as a functional survival kit. Professional survival kits can be purchased for the low price of just $9.95 in Singapore, Guam and Cambodia. Additional items not listed here may be obtained and added to this survival kit depending upon the student’s mental and physical needs. ERASERS.... for use in eradicating pencil markings on trial schedules and miscellaneous forms on which errors have been made. Take in right hand. Rub gently or vigorously (whichever mood prevails) over error until 67.2 percent of the area is eradicated. Left-handed persons should operate eraser with left hand.Caution: Application of intense pressure may result in holes in material being erased. r 1 TENNIS SHOES.... the Surgeon Colonel recommends the use of special, high endurance tennis shoes, preferably those which have experienced no less than two years of actual wear and only three machine washings. Acceptable alternatives are roller skates, cowboy boots which meet similar standards, or subsequent styles of sandals. Gucci shoes are not permitted. ADHESIVE BANDAGES.... for bandaging and protection of blisters and other foot ailments which might occur to those who insist on wearing Gucci shoes. Bandages may also be used in emergency instances to repair pencils broken during periods of extreme frustration, mend broken nerves and torn checks. 14 student life
