WESTERN IS an ever-grow- ing institution, and at final time you make the best of the situation. FINAL TIME Some fella once said something about the truth coming out in the end. What he really meant, was that finals come at the end of each semester. But, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, and besides Jack is apt to sleep through a class or two. Some people have the solution to drooping eyelids which result from cramming— lots of fresh air. The ultimate answer is rationalization. If you flunk out, you won ' t have to worry about next semester ' s finals. See, there ' s a way out for everyone! CATCH as catch can WHAT DO YOU MEAN the answer is supposed to be 6! 25

PANHELLENIG BALL climaxing the fall sorority rush on Western ' s cam- pus is the annual Panhellenic Ball. At this special dance, the sororities honor their new pledges. For the actives, the night is a time for remembering their first year in the sorority world. For the pledges, the night is the beginning of their life in the Greek Society on campus. The big night starts with indi- vidual banquets given by the sororities in honor of their new members. At the dance in the University Center ballroom, music fills the air as the pledges wait for one of their biggest moments in sorority life. During the intermission, the highlight of the evening occurs. Each woman is individually intro- duced to the audience and presented with a rose. At the conclusion of the ceremony, the pledges en- joy the remainder of the Ball and think of the next year when they will be able to stand back and watch a new group of pledges take their place in the Greek World on Western ' s campus. THE ROSES that are presented to the pledges at the Ball bring back memories of a semester ' s pledging. A jK

THIS IS THE PART that hurts; payment of tuition and fees. If you can register and get the proper courses, you can pass anything that the University offers. You ' re also smarter than the average Bear! Upon entering the registration center, in new Hadley Hall, a sign witli explicit instructions for proper procedure greets you. You now have your IBM cards numbered 1 through 7 filled out (in ink), your health card and your councelling slip, and you look up for further instructions. There on the sign, scribbled in pencil, is the classic statement of all times. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200.00. AVERAGE REGISTRATION TIME was about two hours which allowed plenty of time for frustration. REGISTRATION STUDENTS WHO REACH the end of this table can relax and put worries of closed classes away for another semester. 26
