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

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

M Remember you On August 16, 1979 Memphis State University presented a tribute to Elvis Presley, The King of Rock and Roll. The program, which was open to the public, began with a showing of Love Me Tender. During the course of the day other films such as Blue Hawaii , and King Creole were shown. Two films of Elvis were shown. Both Shake, Rattle and Rock, in which Elvis did not appear, and Jailhouse Rock, depicted the early beginnings of rock and roll. Singer Dickey Lee performed in the Harris music auditorium and again at the concert that climaxed the Honors Banquet held at the University Ballroom. Other celebrities such as Chet Atkins, Farron Young, Brenda Lee, Jerry Lee Lewis, Ronnie McDowell and the Jordanaires per- formed as well as Bill Haney, Elvis im- personator, who presented his talent at an outdoor concert in the parking lot at the south end of the mall. Mr. Haney was joined by the Bill Black Combo, Charlie Walker and Susan Hudson. Several seminars concerning Elvis Presley ' s impact on American music were held. Many of the late singers ' friends were panelists for such topics as Eve of a Music Revolution , Elvis and the Roots of Rock and Roll and Elvis: Person and Symbol . Top right: Elvis impersonator, Bill Haney, performs at the outdoor concert. Right: Panelists, Eddie Ray, Judd Phillips, Sr. and Bill Burk discuss the life and times of Elvis Presley. 24 Features
