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.

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)

8 Rush Tension, stress, and a desire to find the right house all combined to create a once-in-a-lifetime event. What a Rush! How long does it take a rushee to correctly pronounce the word Tau? We don't Know, but pledges in houses with names which include this word sure learn fast. Pledging a fraternity or sorority can prove to be nerve-wracking as well as exciting for both the pledges and the houses. The whole process, from the initial decision to participate in rush, to actually pledg- ing a house and working to become a member causes many emotions through the course of many memorable experiences. Mareen Bartlet! commented, ‘'It was scary at first, but | made so many friends during rush week that I knew Kappa Kappa Gamma was perfect. ' PASSING the time RUSHERS do with a friendly many things to get “Besides my hand almost com- pletely falling off my arm from hand shaking, | had a great time and have no regrets wanting to go Greek,” said Da rin Hayes, an Alpha Tau Omega pledge. Every pledge shakes zillions of hands, sees muliudinous glued-on smiles, and endures days of pleasant chii-chat extolling the vir- tues of each house, which happens to be the same regardless of the sign on the front lawn. This year, the rushees came in record high numbers. To make these pledges even more unique, their average high school G.P.A. was 3.57. Liz Wallace, Rush Chairman from Alpha Phi said, ‘Easy?! It wasn't easy, but it was well worth it! ' game of ping pong was one way the Kappa Sigma’s spent the afternoon during rush week. (O'Bryan) men to pledge their house.
