After a long day, a registration worker waits for the next student. Lines are a part of registration as students wait to see the representative from their college. y -.w .1 li R r 'if fl- 4- MA V 1. 'rw T' ' A nl Registration is a long story of schedule struggles The shortest line is 300 people long and every class at Marshall is closed. You must get at the end of the line even though you stood in the wrong one for three hours. The guy in front of you is cussing and girl behind you is going out with your boyfriend. You have a headache. You're miserable but you can't leave. You have to register. Even thoug the situation always seems much worse at the time than it really is, most students agree registration is a hassle. Other schools report more problems with registra- tion than Marshall faces. This year, the use of time cards and the place- ment of Deans in the registration room helped eliminate some of the problems. Students can be seen giv- ing improvised stories over filled classes and asking if one more would really hurt when others were drop- ping the class anyway. Sometimes it is hard to get the classes that are needed. Kim Wehner, whose parents live in Belgium, lost her pre-registration when the money did not arrive from home in time. In regular registration, all of the classes were filled and Wehner had to go to the head of each department and ask for overloads. I finally got them all but I cried a lot, she said. Many students report that department heads give them a hard time before giving them an overload. Freshmen can easily be spotted carrying their green orientation folders. They usually can be found in pairs or groups having dragged a friend or the gang along for moral support. Upperclassmen can be found doing the same thing. Many students try to plan their classes to avoid Fridays, eight o'clocks and before noon classes on Thursdays. Many of the usual prob- lems are found with not getting the classes wanted even if the student pre-registered. Some students get stuck with schedules that spread over the entire day with large breaks between them. After registration is complete, the student can head for Stationers or the bookstore to spend a small life's savings on books. Many unprepared, unsuspecting freshmen may be sur- prised to find he can't carry his 30 new books back to the dorm. Next week he'll be bringing some of them back since the class requirements will have changed. It's time to begin the new year. Campus springs to life after a quiet summer and social life opens in full swing as a result of parties and no classes. It's time to meet people. - 23 Registration
