Amidst Mayhem Registration begins headaches for the $521 semester sk any of the 1,221 freshmen who had just graduated from high school what his her first fright ening experience at college was, Odds were they said it was reqistration. Being herded into the Kibbie Dome like cattle in a rodeo was scary, especially if there was no one to help out. Fortunately, for those who had re- cently pledged a house or moved into a dorm room, registration pros took them through the mazes of stand- ing in line, resche- duling classes, and- paying fees, Fresh- man Rose Shur said, “My main problem was that the person who said she'd help me got stuck in line and couldnt help me.” Nothing made matters worse than standing in line for English 103 or math 140 while the upper-division busi- ness majors some- how managed to get through the en- tire process in ten minutes. There was an in- crease in the num- ber of students req- istering during fall . - @¢= = | Seal and spring semes- ters. Fall semester was up by 336 Sstu- dents from spring 1987, and spring 1988 count was up about 150 from the previous semester. One of ASUI presi- dent Brad Cuddy’s election platforms was to install a computerized req- istration format which would halt the Kibbie Dome cattle-herding style. Graduate stu- dent Mike Frame said, ‘Prereqistra- tion is qood be- cause you know what your classes are ahead of time. DUE to late arrival of financial aid checks, tuition payments were late for several students at fall reqis- tration. (Worley) The arena style at the dome is confus- ing. By contrast, Jon Erickson said, “If we ever go to a touch tone system, it would hurt a tot of the activities.” If students felt like they had a hard time at registration, they might have considered how the faculty felt. They stayed alli day. In addition, financial aid workers handed out checks to 5000 people. Thank goodness this happens only twice a year! LINES started form- ing at 8:00 a.m. and people hustled through them till 4:30 p.m. Por those reqis- tering later in the day, chances were they would not get all the time slots they want- ed. As a result, they had to reschedule all their classes, (Dahl- quist) Some people spent all day working at reg- istration for $4.00 an hour.
