6 Registration. The time of year most dreaded and looked forward to. We hated the inevitable long lines, and paying $524 in tuition and fees, as well as the thought of actu- ally having to spend time in and out of classes working on projects, studying for tests and researching information for papers. Working at registration wasn't easy either. Faculty members who signed the registration forms, fee as- sessors, cashiers, and financial aid assistants, worked all day and dealt with an ever-increasing number of students. Sitting at a table handing out free highlighter markers, coupons, and information fliers for activities and groups as diverse as ROTC and Campus Christian Fellowship may not sound bad, but those who sat Sophomore Nick Valison concentrat- ed hard to fill out his registration forms correctly.

Section Closed there all day, often unappreciated and ignored by most of the stu- dents, had good reason to resent the entire process by the end of the day. Yet in spite of the expenses, the disappointment of classes that filled up and the hassles of rescheduling and standing in long lines again, registration marked the beginning of anew semester of opportunities; a return to the social atmosphere, par ties, sporting events, a chance to meet new people, rekindle old friendships and romances as well as to build new ones. It also provid- ed one more chance to reach the elusive 4.00 GPA, by retaking the D's and F's. And we could always use the spiritual comforting of those religious organizations when we pull all-nishters, or those Dominos Pizza Coupons on Saturday nights. Registration was supposed to be easy for seniors, but Paul Diebel still had problems. (Dahlquist)

| Avampishile ' ‘i Ai, While registration made freshmen nervous, Sraduation had the same queasy effect on seniors, but in between comes the question of night life. Those who barely missed the April 10, 1968 srand- father clause cut-off no longer had to worry about entering a Moscow bar, as the one year, 364 day wait for legality was finally Over. Meanwhile, Moscow's lounges had to adjust their sales pitches to attract the dwindling number of stu- dents after the drinking age was raised from 19 to 21. Murdoc's got a $100,000 liquor license and a beach, Ratz allowed 18 year old's to enter but not drink, while older students mourned the anniver- sary of the closing of Morts, the Spruce, and the Mirage. Students also found other types of entertainment, from weekly showings of one dollar movies in the Borah Theater to Campus events such as Borah Symposium, Mardi Gras and the Lionel Hamp- ton Chevron Jazz Festival. Students took advantage of Outdoor Programs, KUOI events, One More Time Productions, the @ parade on the’ Micro, Blue Monday, Second City show, Theater idee dub. department productions, intramural sports, and ing of their spare time, a few did homework. he ‘Vandal Cheerleaders Kua e boty rf Campus Life Divider 5
