Clark REGISTRATION DAY Nervousness, frustration, anger, boredom, apathy, dis-trus- all words that come to mind when you stand in your correctly labled line to begin another year at MSU. Of course, we're talking about the diabolic obstacle course and psychological maze known as registration. The more fortunate students were those who prepaid th ees last quarter. The unfortunates are those who have to go ugh the entire process from selecting classes and times, to paying fees. There are those students who pre registered, but didn’t pa. :ees. Their major surprise is learning that they aren’t getting the c asses they asked for, which requires running around, sel ing a new class, submitting a drop add card and hoping for the best. And we don’t even want to get into the labyrinth of frustration affecting financial aid students and students attending MSU on the GI BilL.theirs is a story that would be appropriate for the “Twilight Zone.” In all honesty, we must admit that Joe Frazier’s forces in admissions, and those in the business office, are doing their best • to ease the stress and strain of registration. If it weren’t for their dedication, things would be a lot less pleasant the first week of each quarter. In fact, their efforts in summer quarter cut the waiting and line time down to an average of 27 minutes per student.-..which is just short of fantastic. As you stand in line, be patient, look over your paperwork to make sure you aren’t the cause of your delays. Relax! It’s only one day a quarter. If you can survive registration, the rest of the quarter will be a breeze... 27
