==M FRIDAY; Confusion Reigns over RgistrLants Since 1855, aspiring young students have come to the campus to register for the coming school year. And, no doubt, since that time , there has reigned :a type of hysteria which is , toifay called "organized confusion." f " With the passing years more and more have, young students aspired and more and Inore has "organized Confusion" =become a 'part of the two day hell called registration. Last year at , this time the. big gripe . among, students was the three and four hour wait at the Armory so a Couple' of small cards could be checked...and signed by the Board `..of :Controls—students -have in , large numbers - become Bored -'of Controls. , Thid year freshmen and sopho mores have encountered a "prob lem", far, far greater and more 'devasting to young uncompli cated minds than any of these in the past. Visualize, if you can, some 360 lost, confused, and bewildered new Liberal ,Arts students in a large room in Sparks building. They were asking frantically of 'an equally confused,. etc., upper: classman What To Do? "We don't know who our advisors are, and if we don't find out-we can't register. What do we do? The answer; of course, ' is ob vious. All they had to do was go to their own language department and find out the results of the language• placement test. Then take the results to 131 Spaiks. There•they look up their name on' a posted list. Beside their name was a room number. They go to that room , and—presto—the per son in that room was their ad visor. All was -well and the confused, etc., upperclassman felt good until a tiny voice in the rear of the room said, "What placement test?" What can you do?

Worth, not to be outdone, noted the lack of abundant vegeta tion on his own, cranium and added; "I hope it doesn't take a lot of hair to, be a good All-College President." Milt Bernstein, vice-president of Phi Sigma Delta, walked three "rushees" to the door. "Come back soon," he urged them. "As a matter of fact why don't you come over for a free meal _tomorrow," he added. "Thanks, we will," the three re plied in unison. Another brother, aghast, came rushing up to Bern stein. "Don't you know who'they are?" he• asked. -• "No," said Bernstein. "They're brothers at Z-B-T." "I knew they looked familiar," Bernstein replied. One fraternity rushee his been playing it smart. Before arriving on campus he , wrote to six\ or seven houses asking permission to stay there during Orientation Week. He arrived at one of the hquses one morning, produced a reply from the rushing -chairman, and proceeded to tour the house While he, and his mother and father popped questidns at the ac companying brothers. Apparently not satisfied, the three adjourned to their car; whipped out another letter and proceeded to the next house on the list.
