Home Away From Home It’s a quiet Sunday, August 26. Cars begin to pour into the various parking lots on campus. Lawrence, Graves-Pierce, Morelock, and Mountainside dormitories are about to become homes away from home for a large number of students. The cars which are loaded to the top, sometimes trunk and backseat, are now being unpacked. One is astonished at the number of necessities a student has. Par¬ ents and little brothers sisters help to car¬ ry in boxes, suitcases, and numerous stor¬ age containers. Dorm directors go through the tedious procedure of checking in every new arri¬ val. RAs are introduced to the residents that are to live on their floor. They then show the residents their rooms, introduce them to roommates and suitemates. Among RAs’ duties are keeping the noise level down to a mild roar, and pro¬ viding sanitary paper for the restrooms and mops and brooms for the rooms. Resi¬ dents have to adjust to the cafeteria schedule and visiting hours among some things. A lot of them also have to figure out a schedule for the showers. The first cou¬ ple of weeks conflicts do arise, but after awhile life gets back to normal dorm life level. — Rosie Garibay PAPERWORK — Mountainside dorm director, Edna Cave, checks in Yvette DeAnda and Rosella Tavares. MOVING AGAIN — Moving in and out can some¬ times be hectic especially when you live on the third floor of Morelock like Sandy. 22 Moving In OH NO! — Jerrianne Bailey, RA at Mountainside dorm, tells Bylindy Weatherman how it really is in the dorm.

Registration Take One! Take Two! It was that time again, fall registration in Graves-Pierce Gym. Everyone was there. The post office, university police, cafeteria personnel, housing department, yearbook sales, uni¬ versity nurse and fee fixers all wanted something. Students moved from station to station, turning in the proper card and receiving post office box number and other informa¬ tion necessary for a semester at Sul Ross. Class cards had to be picked up for each course to be taken. The lines were often long, the pace slow and steady. The longest line, students found, was at the door. It took longer to get inside, up to one and one half hours, than it did to com¬ plete registration. The lines gave those waiting time to see who was back at Sul Ross and to find out what adventures the summer had offered. Finally the process was complete, with a last stop to have ID cards made. For freshmen, registration was the be¬ ginning of a new chapter, a turning point. For seniors it was the start of a final chap¬ ter, the completion of one goal in a series of many. LINES, FORMS AND MORE LINES — Students stand in line and fill out forms for a number of offices. It’s hectic but it’s all part of registration. LOOKING FOR PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS — Dr. Rex Wilson and Dr. Roy Dodson recruit stu¬ dents for the Music and Art Department. YOU’RE KIDDIN’ — Clint Teague gets the latest information from Financial Aid director, Marvin Bru¬ ton, during fall registration. 24 Registration
