REGISTRATION PROVES H41fHUU51N3 Top right: Registration usually ends with hair- pulling frustration. Above: Last minute schedule changes send many people to the bleachers in search of open class sections. Above right: Stu- dents are faced with the completion of endless forms. There was no new way to get from the entrance to the exit. The procedure was almost the same as last year and the year before. However, there was one major change; instead of leaving the class cards with the schedule checkers, students were asked to leave them with the cashiers when they paid their fees. More than 21,248 students registered for classes during fall registration. This was a slight increase over the figure issued for Spring, 1979 which totaled 18,000 students. These figures however, did not include the Continuing Education office. That figure added an extra 268 full-time stu- dents to the Memphis State Univer- sity campus. There were 5,283 males and 5,322 females registered which meant there were 1.0073 girls for every boy. MSU was fortunate to have a full- time faculty of 740 professors that was supplemented by 148 part-time faculty members. The increase in student population helped add to the frustra- tion of trying to fit classes into a work- able schedule. 22 Features

kbove: Tiger and students alike celebrate as the torch : put to the Ole Miss Banner. Tiger Sports New Threads One of the most visible figures in the Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium and the Mid-South Coliseum during the year was the Tiger Mascot, not only because of his slapstick antics, but because of his new bright orange color and grinning face. The new costume, introduced at the Memphis State- Georgia Tech basketball game, drew mixed reactions, although most were favorable. The new $1500 costume was fashioned after Tigger the Tiger from the Winnie-the-Pooh stories by H. H. Hilne. Ordered from a company in Cincinnati that specializes in Walt Dis- ney characters, the costume was lined with one-inch thick padding that con- verted the suit into a mobile sauna with temperatures inside often reaching 130 degrees. To get in shape for such conditions, the wearers were required to run 4 to 6 miles in summer heat. Warren Hodges, one of the three young men who brought the mascot to life this year, saw the experience as a license to be a fool. The people don ' t know who is in the costume, so you can do crazy things, said Joe Pharr, who shared the duty with Hodges. David McClure, who was the first to wear the new costume, found that the new Tigger was not as flexible as the old Tiger; such stunts as somersaults and shooting baskets were no longer possible. Pharr and Hodges both agreed, however, that they were able to perform in the costume since many of their stunts were done on the spur of the moment. Our colorful Tiger did not limit his antics to Memphis State events, but was also seen at the Overton Park Zoo Day, the Mid-South Fair, Youth Day, and other city-wide affairs. Features 21

Mrs. Diana Brewer, in charge of Above: A sea of numbers adds to registration registration planning, stated that Fall ? £S£?SZ ' £Z registration went very well. There were duties of the packet center, some problems but none that weren ' t easily resolved. She was very com- plimentary of the student workers whom she felt were very bright and had committed a small percentage of errors. She added that Registration Planning was checking into the possibility of registration by computer in the future, hopefully to minimize confusion and errors. Features 23
