terribly exciting. Wo are simply
looking forward to another good
year. But for the rest, transfer
students, and, especially, fresh¬
men, orientation and registration
signal the beginning of a great
experience,  an experience  that
1 believe that If one word had
to be chosen to describe college,
It would be opportunity. This Is a
sentiment that I have expressed
before (In the Handbook) and
that I will probablyexpress again,
because I am convinced of Its
it correctness. Many varied oppor-
' tunltles are offered; from aca¬
demics to student government to
athletics. However, my point Is
that the value of these opportuni¬
ties can only be realized through
an Individual effort from each
student.
For this reason, I would like
to ask each of you, and this also
includes the oldsfudents.tomako
a personal commitment, pledging
that you will take advantage of
any and all opportunities which
present themselves to you. Only
by doing this, will you make the
most of your college years.
And now for the plug. Of course
one of the opportunities I have
been talking about Is student
government. May I suggest that
you stop by my office to get
acquainted and to discuss the
opportunities open to you In this
area. By the way, good luck with
registration!
REGISTRATION SCENE--Nearly 8,000 students will fall lr
Thursday and Friday to register for classes and duplicate
