w ORIENTATION, freshman introduction to college - ' ;•■» ■■ ■ . l.D. Tags — introduction to the IBM world Orientation, the last hurdle an entering student must leap before becoming a YU student, is also his first taste of college life. Through two days of classes and two more days of social activity, the new YU frosh learns about Greeks, the school, publications, classes, cheerleaders, registration, the Deans, teas and smokers, the YU Chaplains, and some of the muhi- tude of other facets YU has. It is sometimes a large bite to digest, and leaves the frosh dazzled, but eager for more. 20

l ' it ONLY THE STRONG SURVIVE Registration! What do you mean yvii lost my IBM card? The semi-annual obstacle course all YU students face is sometimes called Registration, and frequently labeled in far more picturesque terms. The procedure seems to change through the years, but only the methods involved, and not the time spent, vary. Jokes are sometimes told about seniors failing to graduate because they hadn ' t finished registration by the time June rolled around. They don ' t seem so funny after a few hours standing in line in the library basement. Eventually, however, the agony is over and the student emerges, staggering just a little, wonder- ing what day it is, clutching his schedule, but ready for a new semester. 22
