Bes the bureaucracy From registrations to finals, the hassles never end 16 ave you ever tried to cash a check at the Student H:= before 10 a.m. or af ter 3:30 pm.? Have you ever ap- plied early for financial aid to guarantee that you'll receive loan money only to discover, after the deadline, that you were given the wrong forms? Have you ever received a parking ticket when you were parked in a legal spot? Or, have you ever stood in line for 45 minutes, so you would be sure to find a good seat at a basketball game, instead of sitting in the bleachers you ended up on the 20th row of stands? If you have, then you know about the numerous hassles associated with college life. From registration to finals, students spout forth complaints about the manner in which the ad- ministration and faculty treat them. Many of these complaints seem trivial or foolish, while others do in- dicate that being a student often means becoming a second-class citizen, What then are some of the most frequent complaints? Tom Hudson, a Spokane Ar- chitecture senior, believes that the bookstore should change its hours to meet student needs. The hours that the bookstore keep really up- sets me,” he notes. It's closed most of the weekends, except from 8 am. to 1 p.m. on Saturday and remains open only from 8 a.m. to 5:20 p.m. Monday through Friday. Most art, architecture, or science students have classes until 5:30 each day. And, on weekends students, like me, need to catch up on their sleep. Sometimes I find it nearly impossible to buy art sup- plies.” Not only are the bookstore‘s hours unsatisfactory to many students, but its size and Security check. As students file into the Kibbie Dome for a football game, Steve Conkline, a securi- ty guard, stops students with ba and totebags to search for alcoholic beveridges.

Yost) Hassles management also upsets them. “Have you ever tried to buy books the first week of school?” asked Glen Dennis, an Albuquerque botany graduate student. “It's impossible, unless you can stand the smell of 200 sweaty students jammed into a very tiny spot. This bookstore is in the all time bush league!” Registration, a sore spot with many professors as well as studen- ts, is constantly under fire. Rosemary Callin, visiting student from the United Kingdom, really dislikes Idaho's system “Registration here,” claims Collin, “is a hassle. This is the silliest system I've ever seen.” Students also criticize the Health Service because it's only open during business hours. Michael Collopy, a Cincinnati, Ohio, chemistry graduate student, believes that the administration thinks students only get sick from 8 to 5 Monday through Friday. “I can't believe this Health Service is closed at night and on weekends,” exclaimed Collopy. “If you are ill at night, for example, the doctor on call from the health center is the only one who is allowed to examine you. And usually he lives 15 or 20 miles from town!” The aforementioned college hassles are only a few, of the many, students bitch about. And yet, sometimes I wonder if students don't use them as a means to relieve some of the pressures of college life. As one student ob- served, “When you compare university life to that of the Army, you'd discover there are no hassles here.” Nicolette Carrell [
