Too much of the planning and organization was left to the authority figures. Used to rigid structures all their waking lives, everybody felt abandoned and inert without them. The authority figures had trouble adjusting, too. We took our role too seriously. We felt hurt when the ideas we presented weren't grabbed up eagerly by the kids and converted right away into creative projects. Of course the trouble was that we kept handing down plans and suggestions in that habitual, unconscious, au thoritarian way. The kids accepted this as the usual pro cedure, and we were only partly aware of what we were doing, and there was no open hostility between the fol lowers and the followed.

Registration 69 Registration this year turned out to be another experiment in confusion. If a person was lucky, the process was completed in about an hour. The unlucky ones had quite a wait. The twisted, winding course in the building, down into the basement, up again around again was well marked out and even totally bewildered Freshmen found the route without too much difficulty. The main problem seemed to be the length of the process. The student began by circu lating among a group of desks where lots of eager people were waiting to put their little stamp of approval on one of the cards. Each student had to present a varying number of cards to a varying number of inspectors. Dates were marked, files checked, rechecked, and loads of pamphlets were handed out. The victim then preceeded downstairs to receive his course cards. There was quite a wait here, as courses had to be discussed and checked and finally signed. The procedure continued around the corner as the student awaited the signing of his contract, received course cards from the computer, signed assorted other documents and in addition received more information to cloud his boggled mind. It still wasn’t over. Upstairs, photographs had to be taken, temporary I.D. cards issued, and finally, locker numbers assigned. There were also assorted numbers of petitions and a referendum for one’ s enjoyment. The staff situation at the course selection station was so desparate at ti that students were assigning courses to students.

Slowly, but surely, the Georgian football team is on the move. Coach Chiarella and staff have molded the remnants of last year’s patsy team together with a good looking group of newcomers into what seems to have the makings of a solid contender. » After personally participating in practices and a full scale scrimmage, I feel safe in saying that this year’s team has what Sir George fans are looking for. The big weakness of last season was the play of the front lines, both offensive and defensive. New coaching (on the part of Messrs. Brian Hayes and Sonny Wolfe) The going gets tough at Therrien Park and some great new faces have combined to form what looks like excellent lines of protection and prevention.
