THE OBJECT OF THE GAME: to pass the orange from one person to another without touching it with your hands . . . . . . and without dropping it.

Confusion and chaos Freshmen stumble through orientation and registration AT THE ENTRANCE to the Navy Drill Hall students pay the controversial $2.25 Student Government fee. SEPTEMBER The first hurdle for all students returning to Notre Dame was, of course, registration. But this year, (as in every year), it was better planned and much simpler. Anyone equipped with a pack lunch, 29 pencils, and a pocket-sized IBM machine could have whizzed through in a day or so. To err is human, said Shakespeare, and the Notre Dame students agreed with him when they heard that all 6000 ID cards failed to turn out due to a faulty camera. The ad- ministration, feeling that the students ' mouths would not be sufficient for proper identifica- tion, ordered a complete retake for the next week. For the incoming freshmen a host of upper- classmen from the Blue Circle Honor Society were on hand to perform their annual duty of filling the eager minds with tales of Sorin and Rockne. Orientation also included the tradi- tional Frosh Mixer and the Pottawatomie Park Picnic. 26
