typify registration Every student has the misfortune of having to register, but nothing could top the frustration of this fall's fiasco at U-D. Standing in line four hours was a common experience. The cause for most of the confusion was the lines for those receiving financial aid. The number of students awarded state scholarships was nearly doubled, and there were almost five times as many students receiving grants than in the 1966-67 school year. Four computers proved inadequate when it came time to record state scholarships, Michigan Tuition Grants, National Student Defense Loans, and individual University scholarships simultaneously. To add to the dilemma, the quotas for some courses, which had been determined at preregistration, fell far short of the demand at registration. The registration committee is always ready to remedy the situation. Perhaps next year it won't be so bad. The seven- hour record for registration may never be broken.

Brings Freshman Spirit By God! I'm a li-ID freshman! Huge red and white buttons dangled from hip pockets and jacket backs, belts and purses. No matter which way they were worn, the buttons announced the arrival of the new students to the I'-D campus. All freshmen were required to wear them for identifica- tion and admission to the orientation activities. But more- over, Orientation Chairman Mike Applegate stated that the buttons were designed to creat a unity among those who wear them . From the freshmen's first introduction to campus life, the Orientation theme of spirit and involvement was em- phasized. Group meetings, assemblies with deans, mixers, teas, a Western cookout complete with chuckwagons, steaks and entertainment, a watermelon contest and the Freshman Talent Show filled the hours of an exciting week of activ- ities. The climax was the first of the Pop Concert series featuring the Kingsmen and folksinger Chad Mitchell. 17
