Long Line and Coniu ion Highlight llegi tratio Registration is one ot the necessary evils of a University. We stand in long lines to tind a section we wanted just closed. Somehow, we're glad when it's over, especially it we have a good schedule. During registration, we learn to follow directions faithfully. For if we miss a sign, we find ourselves in a iurnble of wandering people Truly, it is said, lt you can get through registration, you can get through school. Fortunately we register only twice a year.

tuilent and Fall De send on ampu Togctli 'r RV -'CW The rustle of a crazy-quilt of leaves underfoot signals the beginning of another fall-another school year. Fall is a season remembered by frosty mornings, green color fading to rust and brown, sweaters, soaked raincoats, drizzles and the transition to winter. 35,7 ig. 43574- L , M . The steps of the auditorium provide a meeting place during the fall. There, we discover our social life is an important part of a formal education. Fall is football, Block I and Chief llliniwek. Block I, which was the first flash-card section, always gives Illiniwek a mighty cheer as his dance ends. 9

Alter Rush VVeel4 is over, entering Freshmen are required to be here lor Freshmen Orientation VVeek. The week is a turmoil ol meetings. tests, lectures, t'onl'erences and the first regis- tration. And the first registration is hectic. XVhile Freshmen are being orientated. the remainder of us are trying to go along, with the system ol register- ing. But it isn't so easy to hgure out the complex regis- tration systemg consequently, many ol' us hght the sys- tem each time we register. It is remarkable how many times we stand in line lor a certain class or section only to have it close when we are next. Then, we have two alternatives, either wait lor the section to open again or take the class at a dillerent time. There is one more detail to attend to alter registration and belore going to our classes-buying books, an education in itself. But the University does try to lacilitate registration and orientation for lreshmen by employing the use ol Freshmen Advisers. Selected and elected on the basis ol their knowledge ol the campus and its customs. they are most helpful to newcomers. Debate has been going on this year as to whether freshmen should possibly register lirst. Under classmen say Yesg the seniors vote No. i is rt resins AN s't IiimNq- y imvi o--'knyxt fri .

During registration week, the president holds a recep tion for the faculty who have just joined the staff. Hosts and hcstesses for the Presidents reception are selected from Angel Flight and various branches ot the ROTC. As the reception usually held in the Union, these students are invaluable to the new faculty members in helping them to locate the reception room. 3 , if ,f'1EM.aa',si . v 'Eg' .
