ty k FDRNER ORGE | f A Af JAM Upon completion of the registering process, students are usually greeted by “barkers’” poking coupons of all types, sizes and colors in their weary hands. Different from the usual retail store peddlers, concerned students solicited signatures to stop the damming of the Red River Gorge. the students who partied the night before. Humid 90-degree weather penetrated Diddle Arena, turning it into a sweltering oven for the 12,266 students who did make it to regis- tration. This was just the right atmosphere for wrangling with the headaches of registration. Freshmen could easily be spotted wandering aimlessly around with their red folders which contained detailed instructions on how to register. Regardless of whether or not they had instructions, many found it necessary to drag a friend along with them for moral support. If one looked closely, one might even have seen a few upperclassmen doing the same thing. Listening to snatches of conversation floating around Diddle Arena, one could easily see how delightful registration can be: How can | take English 102, when | haven't had English 101?... But, can’t you squeeze just one more little bitty person in your big ole class? ... Oh my gosh! I've registered for three classes at the same time! ... | think Ill commit suicide! After the fun and games of registration, stu- dents were not allowed to recuperate or regain their strength for the next ordeal. Steeling Scowling over a schedule change, Clarence Wells copes with carrying a full semester load as well as a parental load. Son Greg watches the commotion of registration from the safety of his father’s shoulders. themselves and gritting their teeth, they got ready for the unique experience of book buying. Now book buying is a joy in itself, without the added experience of registration. Take the case of Joe Freshman. Stealthily, like a spy behind enemy lines, he weaved his way be- tween legs and crawled under counters in an attempt to find his books. With a fantastic eagerness for knowledge prompting his efforts, Joe searched frantically for his required books. Slowly but surely, he managed to track down all 50 of them. He then staggered to the end of the shortest line (a mere 200 or 300 people). Hours later, he reluctantly handed over his life savings at the cash register. The only thing that kept him going was the thought that he wouldn't have to go through it again until next semester. Who would have had the heart to tell him that when he got to class, he would discover that half of his book requirements had been changed. Eventually, Joe, along with everyone else, managed to get through moving in, registration and the various other trials and tribulations of starting a new semester. Each one was con- fident that with his experience, the next time would be a breeze. Well, it doesn’t hurt to dream! WW Registration

} Privacy for a telephone call sometimes requires stretching the cord into the hall. Cheryl Davis finds the only comfortable position is to just sit on the residence hall floor while she enjoys her phone conversation Housing Bare walls and dusty desks face the dorm occupant after he has completed the tedious process of moving in. Polishing up on his domestic duties is Gary Kanter, a sophomore from Covington. Staggering under the load of boxes and suitcases, Dad mumbles under his breath as his wife and daughter struggle with the key to the new coed’s dorm room. Stumbling into the cubicle, he deposits his burden and himself on the bare mat- tress. He then tries to catch his breath as his wife and daughter exasperatedly stare at the blank walls. The coed’s vision of her dorm room looking exactly like the decorating jobs in Seventeen magazine fades before her eyes. Meanwhile, dis- enchantment with living accommodations also abounds in the men’s dorms. AI- though not expecting color coordination of bedspreads, rugs and curtains, males are also somewhat surprised at the bare look of their new home. Typical of fresh- man indoctrination into dormitory life, the first day brings the realization that some adjustments are in order. First of all, the student has to learn to make a bed from one side, because in all except one dorm, furniture is fastened to the floor. Finding a place for every posses- sion is the next almost insurmountable task. Next, something has to be done about the blank walls. Usually a trek to the bookstore for posters results in some improvement. Within days, fish nets, blacklights or mobiles grace the dormi- tory rooms. Faced with the choice of eating out every meal or learning to cook, the ad- venturesome freshman decides to utilize the dorm kitchens described in the hous- sing pamphlets. A refrigerator can be rented for a “nominal” fee. In spite of the kitchens in each dormi- tory, ingenious students utilize illegal popcorn poppers for cooking, in order to avoid the 6 o'clock kitchen rush. Actual- ly, the intended purpose of the popper is rarely put to use because of the distinc- tive odor of popcorn. The cook runs the risk of being sniffed out by a rule-enforc- ing resident assistant. Amateurs usually stick to heating soup, while gourmets whip up ravioli, bacon or fried eggs. Moving off-campus into an apartment does not solve all the problems either. What seemed to be the perfect off-cam- pus haven during the summer does a turn- about as soon as the fall term begins. Faucets drip, floors creak and hot water does not exist. After all, some con- veniences must be sacrificed for freedom. Dishes soon begin to pile up in an al- ready overflowing sink, while dirt rings decorate the bathtub. The off-campus dweller finds his ‘free’ time taken up by housecleaning chores. f Even though dream homes are seldom found for student living, both dormitories and apartments offer their own peculiar advantages and disadvantages. Before the beginning of the 1974 fall semester, students could choose whether to live on campus or off. A mandatory housing rule now requires freshmen to
