R Freshmen spared ordeal of registration hy new advance system Freshmen .for the most part were spared the ordeal of registration this fall with the initiation of a trial system of advance registration. The majority of the class pre-registered and registered simultaneously through Freshman Studies. By midsummer the IBM packets for those registered were assembled, ready for payment. During the latter part of August, incoming Detroit-area frosh were contacted to settle tuition payments with the Bursar's Officeg out-of-town stud- ents were notified to pay at formal registration. Meanwhile, the remainder of the student body endured the usual aggravation of longer lines, closed sections and innumerable trips to the Conflict Desk. Business as usual accurately described the general atmosphere. Next year freshmen will continue under the new system with the rest of the students registering as before. Eventually, said Joseph A. Mansour, director of registrationfl would like the entire student body to be able to register in advance. 16

Orientation Week lets fresh teach can us. '72 isn't that far away On the morning of Sept. 1, U-D noted a familiar air about its campus. Orientation Week had arrived. Sunday night at the first mixer the frosh let everyone know that they had arrived. Meetings, grouping freshmen according to their majors, were held. Upperclassmen directed the sessions with such info as how to operate Foley Hallis magic elevator and when NOT to skip classes. Mixers were jammed. Barbecues, tours and Iuncheons filled calendars, the highlight of the week being the Western Cookout. Dinner was consumed as an afterthought to conversation and acquaintances. The lights were low, the tent was hot but the rhythm which diffused through every ear was later heralded as ffgreatf' Hthe best part of the weekf, By the beginning of classes, the most im- portant was already accomplished: boy met girl. strangers became friends and the school year was off to a great start. High school is now in the past and '72 isnit that far. 18 i. tfigf, tv - I i 0 if .ffl F is an sNsS:
