It has become my opinion that
the quality of students,'on this
campus, is slowly sliding down
hill. At a recentfloorparty in our
apartment building there were
several items taken from our
apartment (approximately $55.00
worth of \personal belongings).
One of these items was a pair of
eye glasses; it is hard to conceive
how any student on this campus
could possibly afford |paying

congratulations to the 21973-74
basketball team. * Although we
never made it to Kansas City, we
have -seen many exciting and
thrilling basketball games. For
those players on the team, you've
tried your best, which is the only
thing we? expected of|you| We
realize you went through 6
months of hard practices and
tough games, to say nothing of the
studies that you tried to keep up.
To Coach Fox and Steve
Brandon, you also did a fine job
and we appreciated your time
and patience. And finally, to the
1974-75 team, we are wishing only
the best and looking forward to
the coming season. W.i.\

I entered the Office through the
double doors on Registration day
to the strains of a player piano. I
hadn't arrived a minute too soon.
In one corner there was a brawl
in progress over the issue of who
was first in line. In the inner of-
fice, Sheriff Bill Willingsley was
negotiating a treaty with a
representative of the Business
Office for the £ release of the
student who tried to pay Vfe cent
more than her tuition of $18.33%.
Behind the counter, Raven Rose
was pinning a feather in her hair
before her wall-length mirror.
A student came into the office
and waited for service for fifteen
choruses of "Camptown Races"
until Raven was satisfied with her
feather. She came over to help.
f At the same time, Mary Lamb

As Raven began to explain the
greenhorns, a desperate student
ran into the office. Wild-eyed, he
leaped over the counter, grabbed
Sparky, and, holding a dripping
ice cream cone over her head,
called out "I demand to see the
Sheriff. One of my courses was
cancelled, two required courses
asked him why. "I'm doing a
study of problems of registration
from the viewpoint of both
students and personnel. Today's
activities have yielded quite a bit
of interesting data."
I asked for a few examples of
the data. He looked through his
notes and read. ".01 per cent of
the students j have the -wrong
person sign their forms. 2 per cent
still fill out the top of the form,
which asks for such information
as sex, religion, and race. 99 per
cent of the headaches suffered by

curred! during* registration
week."
I told him it sounded like he had
enough material to write a v?ry
nice report. "Yeah," he answered
sullenly, "that's about all they let
me do around here. I'm never in
on anything exciting.''
Just before the office closed for
the day, the poker game ended.
