22 Lines might be a place to make friends, if one likes sweaty, scowling people who mumble curses under their breath. The end offers no relief. A docu- ment insures the lesson,s permanent effectiveness. A picture is placed on the student identification card. It is a photograph of a person who looks more shell-shocked than registration-racked. Each time the student uses it he is reminded who is boss. For the next four years it serves as a permanent memento of those first blissful days at the University of Missouri and the real entrance exam. Photos and Text by Brian Smith

The real entrance exam On the threshold of the university experience, after weeks spent wa1t- ing, after reams of fllled-out forms on things from housmg to fmanCIal and, after all this comes the real entrance exam. . It is called registratlon'. For the procrastinatmg, unde- cided student who could not, or would not pre-register, the Un1ver- sity holds a two-day rltual steeped 1n the tradition of Chinese torture. . Registration tests all qual1t1es Vltal for University surviyal. It tests opa- tience, desire, stamme and wealth lsense of lcllumor 15 optIOnal, but rec- de . ' onllpsegrimelry tool of torture 15 one used successfully throughout the University system to render students safely stupified. It is called the line. The student lines up to get in. In- side, he lines up for registration forms. He then moves to lines for course cards and deaxfs stamps of unknowing approval. There are more lines. There are lines to pay, lines to get out, lines that never go anywhere. More than one confused student finds himself in the wrong line only to go back and line up again. The lines tedium numbs the mind with slothlike certainty. As Augustls swelter climaxes, the drinking foun- tain spouts a line ofits own. Lines make feet ache, heads throb and nerves frazzle. It turns students into mindless pulp. 21
