Registration At SSU Proves Hectic Memories of the school year would not be complete without the thoughts of registration. From the aggravating long lines of first semester's registration came looks of despair and frustration on the faces of students. By second semester, the situation was improved consider ably because of the registration packets which were filled out by the students ahead of time. Another improvement that was initiated in order to speed up registration was the system of using credits earned and alphabetical arrangement as criteria for who could register first, rather than the walk-in registration system which was used first semester. ttftv U.- ' Students wait anxiously to complete one of the many stages of registration. Disgusted looks show the results of changing the registration process from previous years.

Football Season Highlighted By Homecoming Win Over A big point of the year was Superior’s 14-12 win over Stevens Point at Homecoming. October 11. It was a spirited afternoon for the students and the alumni who came bach to their alma mater. For the players it brought about a feeling of accomplishment. There were other exciting games of the season but the one Coach Mortorclli looks back on was the 7-6 win over La Crosse, October 25. According to Coach Mortorclli, it was one of those games in which all the players performed better than average. There were also some bad days in which nothing went right, such as when SSU lost a disheartening game 7-6 to River Falls on September 20. In the River Falls’ game Superior had the Falcons on their own one-yard line with less than a minute left, and were winning 6-0. It only took one play, a 99-yard bomb, to turn the tables on the Jackets. After the 1969 football season, Mcrtz Mortorclli retired as head football coach assuming the duties of Athletic Director. Monte Charles, previously head coach at Plattcvillc State for three years, replaced Mcrtz Mortorclli as coach of the Superior State Jackets. Todd Jarzyna led the team in tackles with 49 and also had 70 assists. Dennis VanMasscnhovc was the leading pass catcher with 23 for 390 yards. Leading the ground gainers with 286 yards was Tim Massey. Doug Sutherland, the league’s leading punter, boots one out of the end zone in a 14-12 win over Stevens Point at Homecoming.
