DORMITORIES 1945 Yes, we’ll remember the car 1944-45! ft was our thinl war year—the most signifi- cant fact of all. Yc were here to become teachers, but the Navy WAVES on the cam- pus reminded us that direct effort was being put forth at Teachers College towards win- ning the war. Letters to and from Uncle Sam’s hoys kept the path to the post office well-worn. Neither forgetting the war, nor our purpose at Teachers College, we contin- ued to maintain the enthusiastic anti loyal school spirit of former years—exhibited by the turnouts at Cut Day, Friday night Fun Frolics, basketball games, debate, the )ld Gold Beauty Dance, lecture-concert series, and other student activities. Serious stud) was not forgotten, and we spent much of our time in earnest concentration on subjects nec- essary in our preparation for becoming teach- ers—teachers now so very vital to our de- mocracy. The administration, the faculty, and the students faithful!), conscientiousi) performed their duty at Iowa State Teachers College in preparation for teaching, and thus fulfilling the demands of the nation. We worked hard, we had fun—we ll remember! WAR ACTIVITIES INTERESTS ACTION

44 . UK 1 With our pens in one hand and our ad- mission card in the other, we faithfully fol- lowed the six steps of registration: First to the office of the Dean of Women (or to a representative of Miss Campbell's office seated at a table in the hall) or to the Dean of Men to have our housing approved. At the Registrar’s office we hurried through the filling out of our health card, matriculation statement, directory card, reg- istration card, card for the Dean of Faculty, and student class card. During our first registration the six steps became seven when we filed into the Bureau of Research to have our pictures taken. In this Bureau we were later ana- lyzed after writing psychology, placement and aptitude tests. Then we were oft to our faculty advisor’s office where our schedules were carefully planned to enable us to meet that final objective—graduation. These were then returned to the registrar's office where we filled out class schedule cards for the Dean of Faculty and were given fee cards. The next stop at the Business Office was perhaps the most important of all—at any rate the most expensive, for here we paid our tuition, our room rent (if we lived in one of the dormitories), our laboratory fees, gym fees, and am other registration expenses. Each of us was required to have a physical examination by a college physician at a time arranged by the health director. Subsequent examinations were made as indicated by our health record. “Where’s Room 15? asks every new student. But graduating students are very familiar with the welcome feeling of relief which came when the last card was signet! and registration was completed. Though at times many of us may have complained about the personal inconvenience we have suffercti during registration—perhaps even questioned the efficiency of such a system—the procedure is a result of scientific planning, and each card filled out has its place in a system whereby each unit of administration is kept functioning as efficiently as is humanly possible. Provisions which are made for students desiring changes in schedules enable them to accomplish this in a relatively short length of time by consulting their advi- sers concerning the proposeil change. If the advisers approve of the new schedule, they fill out and sign a change of registration card that is returned to the registrar. Registration, with its long lines of people waiting for cards to fill out, its checking and rechecking of schedules, has become a familiar routine. No Teachers College student will soon forget it!
