Everyone walked while the new students filled out innumerable forms, took placement and physical fitness tests, and became acquaint- ed with University buildings and professors. Several methods of helping freshmen integrate with the campus were employed. just before school opened, the an- nual YWCA-YMCA Freshman Camp was held. Freshman Guides were again on hand to help students become famil- iar with their colleges. Organizations' Night provided anoth- er method besides these by introducing Freshmen to extra- curricular activities available. F In addition to the orientation program for freshmen, Mr. and Mrs. Williain Kelley invited foreign students to their home as they do each year for a welcome address by the President and the opportunity to meet others before having to make the academic adjustment necessary in at- tending a school in a different country.

Registration Improved With ummer Program Some 2200 seniors and freshmen, part of a record en- rollment, took advantage of a new summer registration program which necessitated only picking up admission cards for classes. This saved them the trip to the Coliseum and anxiety of wondering whether or not there would be an IBM card for them by the time they got to the class tables. For the students who did not register in the summer, there were the long lines, closed classes, and search for ad- visors to be chanced. In spite of these inevitable problems, most people agreed that last Fall's registration processes continued the marked improvement of recent years. During registration students are likely to be found most any place filling out numerous forms that are a necessity for entering the University.
