Fall: Confusion in the Fieldhouse The line stretched from in front of the men’s gym past the shade of the trees by the walk and curled to a parallel with the building. The students baked and complained in a hot September sun while waiting to enter the old Fieldhouse and join hundreds of other students in the confusion of registration. The scuffle and scrape of feet and chairs and the rustle of papers under the drone of the loudspeaker marked the official beginning of the year. And although the beginning was characterized by confusion, it was appropriate for the months that were to come. The administration worried about the unexpected 14 percent in¬ crease in student enrollment and the students worried about the in¬ crease in the cost of education. The administration worried about the increase in the cost of attending the University, too. Later in the year the College of Business Administration tried to suppress the results of a poll that indicated the average cost of a year at Arkansas was $1.290 per student. When the Traveler printed the findings of the poll, the administration grudgingly admitted that the figures quoted in the official handbook ($700 per year ) might be “a little low.” The Student Senate began a year of controversy with the passage of REGISTRATION is a frantic combination of personal confusion and general chaos. The semi-annual spectacular is supervised from the control desk. 18

FOOTBALL FEVER infected the campus and most of the state during the early months of autumn. Anxious fans filled Razorback stadium to watch the efforts of a new coach and his well-groomed talented team against stiff opposition of Southwest conference opponents. a bill that prohibited the “A” club’s selling beanies to freshmen and sharply criticized the lettermen for “coercive” measures used to in¬ duce sales. President of Associated Students Ray Thornton vetoed the bill and the senate went charging off down another alley. This was the year that Princess Margaret decided in favor of the Commonwealth and refused to marry a commoner. Group Captain Peter Townsend never amounted to more than just a shadow in romantic history, and it was only proper that Lord Salisbury had sternly maintained that the whole unfortunate incident be treated with the dignity such affairs of state deserve. While British troops in Asia were being killed in a shooting war with the Communists, other “commoners” all over the world agreed that dignity was the most important thing indeed. Football season added color to fall and accelerated the weekends. A curious crowd of 18,000 fans sat on their hands while cautious and unsure Razorhacks scored a 21-6 victory over a team they had defeat¬ ed by almost twice the score the preceding year, and the critics were skeptical of the man from Wichita who replaced Bowden Wyatt as head football coach. As the season progressed, however, Razorback stock began to rise; pig sooeys filled the stands and things started to look better all around. Business school classes were dismissed the afternoon the Yankees met the Dodgers at Yankee Stadium for the seventh game of the World Series. Brooklyn won 2-0 with Johnny Podres on the mound and things began to look better elsewhere, too. RUSH WEEK finally ended with ex¬ hausted Greeks, tired-but-happy pledges. 19
