How easy it would be if we could take our advisers along to lead the way. Could it be that this boy did just that? Tennis? It's filled. Golf? Sorry. How about bowling? It doesn't fit in your schedule, but you can take swimming at 8 in the morning. Then Comes Cards Upon Cards and Line After Line We struggle through line after line, hour after hour until finally relief is in sight ... ID pictures mean the end of another semester of registration. But it's not the end of bad memories. Each time we cash a check or take a book from the library our pictures haunt us.

, No, she isn't moving in lightly with only two suitcases. There's still a trailer full of boxes outside to be unpacked. Students bring many unusual necessities with them to school, but what do you suppose this boy needs a saw-horse for? Suitcases and Boxes Are Moved in and Unpacked It looks as if these girls are faced with the universal problem of all coeds. Where will they ever find space for all their new clothes? Hectic is the only word for registration week. Twenty-four thousand of us descend upon cam- pus for the start of school. First we must un- load the cars which miraculously made it through the Wright and Green Street jam. All junk is thrown in the middle of our rooms as we rush to wait in line an hour for our regis- tration cards. Advisers come first . . . But, sir, are you certain I must take 20 hours this semes- ter? Then come the lines ... I don't care how long you waited, Zoo 100 is closed. You might try Biology. They aren't as crowded there. Then the book stores . . . Sorry, we're all out of your French books, Zoo books, Rhet books, and Lit books. Come around next week. And of course the inevitable, I certainly hope you will like my class this semester. We will have only five hourlies, and you will be expected to do four papers. That, of course, is for a C. Now if you're planning to work for an A . . . Please tell me, do you suppose it's worth it? 10

Since the University of Illinois campus is spread out over a wide area, and since classes have to be made in ten minutes, some mode of fast transportation confronts many. Walking across the quadrangle appears to be the most popular sport. However, this may entail long cross country hikes, and late arrivals to class. Many find the bicycle relieves wear and tear on the shoe leather. Since an increase in the bicycle population has caused traffic jams on and around the quadrangle, the University constructed paths especially for the bike pilot. Owners and operators of bicycles must register their vehicles with the university. A more spacious and more comfortable form of wheels is found in the shape of a car. These cars must be registered each se- mester. In addition to delivering owners to class, these cars manage to serve as a bus for all friends and acquaintances. For those who prefer to socialize on the way to class, the Illi bus proves to be the best mode of conveyance. Packed to the over- flowing point, these buses deliver hundreds of students daily to classes all over campus. 12
