Busy Signals Replace Long Lines When I was a freshman, we had to walk ) the Civic Center and stand in lines for ours to register for classes! Other versions f the story include standing in sweltering eat or lines that stretched clear down Pen- icola Street to the stadium. Thanks to the ew system of phone registration, that story ill go the way of the one that your parents )ld you about walking five miles to school in ie driving snow. Now when it ' s time to agister for classes, you can let your fingers o the walking — to the nearest touchtone hone. Calling 487-3470 connects you with ne of the 32 available lines of the regis- ation computer. Its friendly voice prompts ou with messages such as Enter your course request followed by the pound key now. The system immediately informs you if a class can be added to your schedule or if it is already filled. The new phone system does have its dis- advantages. For instance, it may take fifty calls or more before you actually get a ring instead of a busy signal, and sometimes rainy weather may bring the computer system down for a few hours. But if you think that ' s bad — You should have been here last year when I had to stand out in the freezing rain in registration lines that stretched from here clear down to the Capitol building! Ashley Crosby A Centel actually installed a mobile phone unit on campus equipped with six touchtone phones. All those living on campus could not use their rotary-dial phones to register for classes. The long lines in and outside the Civic Center will soon be ancient history with the new phone registration and the telephone drop add. m . ■ ' ■ . ; :: L .. ■ .. ft % I V , : . , 1 ; ; • ' a - 1 Campus Life 19
