long time ago psychologists discovered a means whereby they could determine the intelligence of laboratory animals. This test consisted simply of a maze with an entrance. an exit and obstacles to overcome between the two. Little did these great men know that many years later the administration would perform this same great experiment on all UI students in the form of registration. Registration changed very little this year Returning students still found it was possi ble to forget where they were supposed to go and new students wondered if they would ever figure out the system. There were a few additions including preregistra- tion for computer and engineering classes And television monitors were used to notify Students often found registering for classes dif- ficult and sometimes needed assistance.

Kimberling) students of the immediate closings of Classes Students began the registration process by seeking out their advisers for help and consultation. This aided students in work- ing out their class schedules, which need- ed to be approved by advisers prior to registering The following morning the maze began Students migrated to the Dome at their assigned time which was determined by their last name. Once they arrived they stood like cattle in a chute, awaiting the chance to get their class schedule card Once they obtaind this, they proceeded to one of the Dome benches or a table and a chair and filled it out By this point most students had little problem making it through the maze. but they soon realized it could become much more difficult Students then attempted to sign up for the classes at the time periods that they wanted. Students who registered early had no problem, but by mid-afternoon the situa- The fy mazing, experience tion had changed. Suddenly it was very dif- ficult to get through the maze without backtracking and rearranging schedules With this part accomplished, students paths varied. Some proceeded on to finan- cial aid to pick up checks, while others went straight on to fee assessment, But no mat- ter which direction students went they were accosted by Gem staffers selling yearbooks and by Blue Keyers selling directories. Once schedules were completed and fees paid, students were able to gain a glimpse of some of the organizations and activities that had set up booths. It was also at this point where students received free gift packets to make their stay at school more comfortable As students browsed and relaxed they realized they had successfully made their way through the maze and had passed the test. Little thought was given to the fact that this maze would have to be negotiated again the following semester Jon Erickson Registrar's Office Lines, lines, and more lines reported for only the fourth time in Idaho history, more than 7,000 students regis- tered for the fall semester.
