Academics is t'hebinding forCe of the university life. As the basis for the student community, it brings stu- dents together bOth scholastically and socially. , i ' Although students study courses ranging from forestry to phildsophy and have a myriad of ambitions for the future, they all share a common goal -- the goal Of leaming and achieving a degree. Academic study is the catalyst which brings the student to the. campus. into an environment which will eventually provide the basic tools for coping with the real world. Academics is the focus of the life and from it a student discovers the other aspects of hisiife. It determines a future career and social life. Because of academics, a student learns more than how to write a theme paper in English Composi- tion: he or she learns to discipline themselves and to apportion time to- write the paper. From the first? daya. freshman enters the university, he or she begins to experience thejoys and frustrations that every freshman has Experienced. The students share more than the ' ' same feelings and pressures of academic iliffe' with others. Many ma-v, jOrs require the samec'oursens. Its not L uncommon to find a communica- tions major and a business major in an economics class together. Throth academic study the student establishes ,a binding rapport with fellOw students and teachers. Daily experiences are shared as well - whether it is standing in the drop and add line, cramming for a , mid-term exam or being adviSed.. Academic life unites diverse in- dividuals into one student body. It is more than just a learning process. Academics is a sharing of common experiences, experiences which bind the campus together.

WAITINGINLINEWAITING A neatly dressed young man squeezed cautiously through the east entrance doors of the athletic center and addressed the crowd. uWhite cards only! he shouted. ilNo one with orange cards will be allowed until later. Groans of disgust arose from the throng of students clustered around the entrance steps. Clutching their orange schedule pick-up cards, many disappointedly walked away. But those with white cards, who had not received all of their classes, and some deter- mined others with orange cards, began shuff- ling in toward the entrance. Fall quarter evoked in each student that special sense of excitement that comes from the newness of everything - from the first round of sorority rush, to moving into che dorm? to even standing in line for classes. There was at least one experience that each student shared. Each one waited in at least two lines. Though the same faces were seen in several lines, each row served a different pur- pose. It all started at 8:10 on a clear Monday morning, September 17. By the first day of classes on Thursday, Sep- tember 20, some 28,925 students had passed through the athletic center to pick up schedules, pay fees, have l.D.s validated and receive a wide assortment of printed materials concerning school activities and the sale pitches of local businesses. Although a tiresome, familiar ritual to upper- classmen, it was a confounding maze to freshmen. lt was baffling to students register- ing for the First time to knowjust which hallway to take after picking up a schedule, or just which of the many fee-paying rows they should choose to stand in. Most students, however, went through registration with few problems and, upon leav- ing Stokely, went on to yet other lines, in- cluding of course, the most famous line of all on campus w Drop and Add. It started as a small line, but soon grew into a giant string of bodies that wound its way through the right-wing hallway of the student center. It caused confusion for a week. Although some students were lucky in receiving what they wanted in a class schedule, others were not so fortunate. They joined the well-known, dreaded phenomenon on campus - drop and add - a place where students dis- satisfied with their schedules could change them to a more desirable program. Such dissatisfaction was a common oc- curence when students found they did not get the classes they had wanted, or at the times they had preferred. In order to make any schedule changes, it was necessary to wait in the apparently never- ending line which led to a room of terminals and a massive computer system. Speeding up the process again this fall were the Hexpressl' terminals in the hallway, where students could quickly drop classes or check to see if a certain section of a course was still open. Larry Styles, director of computer registra- tion, said that although 14,000 singular names were recorded on me computer by October 1, a turnstile counted 40,000 students who passed through the drop and add door. Despite all of its bad points, the drop and 8h Academics add line was also a unique social event, offer- ing students a chance to meet new friends. So many students congregated in the hallway of the student center that there was almost always a familiar face somewhere in the line! - L.
