I REGISTRATION Arranging schedules frustrates students Oh ... the hassles! Endless lines of students waiting to pull cards and rearranging schedules were just two of the problems that characterized Tech registration. Students began to push themselves back into the regimented schedule of daily classes, hoping to arrange their classes around work or the schedules of friends. During registration, many Tech students enjoyed seeing old friends in spite of the frustration of class sched- uling. Students resorted to using the cen- ter of the coliseum floor to sort out classes that were closed to find a course they needed at a convenient time. Some students tried to avoid the problems of registration by conning a friend with an earlier registration time into pulling cards for them. One Tech coed found registration embarrassing when she went to pull a card for a political science course. The same teacher that flunked me last semester was pulling cards for that class. Seniors needing only 18 hours to graduate found registration particu- larly discouraging when they were forced to leave the coliseum with only six hours of classes. Even after students had found classes they needed or been forced to leave the coliseum floor without suffi- cient hours, the hassles were not over. Final checkers and lines and lines of other services awaited each student as he wandered his way out. Buying football tickets and parking stickers has always presented a prob- lem for students and this year was no different. Students waited in line pa- tiently while the Saddle Tramps at- tempted to supply each student with football coupons and basketball tick- ets. Attempting to purchase a parking sticker presented yet another prob- lem, and students often had to settle for parking spaces that were neither close to dorms nor classes. Moans about bad registration times and the lack of available classes, along with students saying they did not even know what they had signed up to take, were familiar remarks by stu- dents departing registration. A common question of many Tech students as they left the building was, When does drop add sUrt? CD U Vm tmm 1
