Sights and Sounds Fill Strong Hall Rotunda
Looking down between the multi-colored flags of nearly 100 nations to the floor of the rotunda of Strong Hall on the afternoon of June 6, the registration tables with files of blue yellow and green IBM cards could be seen.
Two nuns walked in through the main doors. A hot wind blew their habits as they stopped for a moment to examine some papers they carried.
TOWARD THE FRONT of the rotunda near a sign that read: "Graduate students turn in all registration materials here," a man in a blue uniform with a Jayhawk emblem on the shoulder was sitting behind a table of IBM cards A woman in front of the table was saying, "No, I'm not a student, and I don't want to register my car. I only want to park it over night."
Opposite the vehicle registration table, a woman sat in front of a machine that clacked away louder than a typewriter The machine, an addressograph, was embossing names and student numbers on plastic ID cards. A dark-skinned man wearing a light colored short-sleeved shirt and white shoes, picked up his ID card and walked slowly across the rotunda running his fingers over the card and examining it carefully.
He looked up as a young man in cut-off jeans and rubber thong sandals hurried past and shouted over his shoulder to his friend, "...meet ya' at the sand bar in about half an hour."
THE WIND whipped the flags in the rotunda as the doors below opened again. Two girls crossed the rotunda from the front carrying a case of soda pop between them and stopped at a table. One by one they passed the bottles down the table to the men and women working there. It was 4 o'clock.
The long lines at the business office windows didn't seem to be
getting any shorter. Nor did the lines at the admission office windows. A clerk at the admissions window was saying, "I'm sorry, you'll have to go to the graduate office to be admitted to the graduate school first." The woman looked frustrated and tired.
Upstairs in the Dean of Women's Office, a man and woman walked in. When asked, the woman quietly said that she is from Formosa and had just enrolled in graduate courses in political science.
The woman walked out with the Dean's assistant and signed a housing contract. "I'm going to my dormitory now," she said with a broad shy smile. "My name is Helen Lin," she added, extending her hand. "I am very glad to have met you."
The first day of the 1963 summer session registration for undergraduates, and registration and enrollment for graduate students was over.
