Freshmen aided y U-D services Who tells the incoming freshmen how to register, what courses to take and when to pay tuition? With many service centers on campus, U-D takes good care of its bewildered students. With the Health Center to care for their well-being, the Psychological Serv- ices Center to help them select majors and the Placement Bureau to ind them jobs, most newcomershnd the adjustment to campus life relatively painless. The process of adapting to the Univer- sity begins in the Oflice of Admissions. From there, students frequently seek help from the Scholarship Oiiice. An elaborate system of registration guides students through the first few days of each semes- ter, and students proht throughout the year from the labors of the PIO and Serv- ice building personnel. 21

Some soft music helps to calm the student as he goes through the hectic process of registering. Students line up in the Memorial Building - sometimes for hours - to arrange their class schedules, get parking stickers, pay tuition and buy used books. In the arena there are questionnaires to be answered and IBM cards to be filled out. Trial schedules are manipulated to allow time between classes for coffee in the Union. Occasionally a time conflict will arise between courses and the student is forced to seek help from the Conflicts Desk. And that means waiting in another line. The process of registering normally takes from two to three hours depending on the student's class rank. By the time he is a senior, the student's upper division courses are only offered at one time. Trial schedules become easier to formulate and the strain of registration is eased to some degree. Outside the arena, when students think they can relax, they find more tables and more lines, including one for ID pictures. Here, representatives of all the organizations on campus gather to recruit new members. Students can get tickets at half price to Town and Gown or join a club. Even Uncle Sam is there.
