Long lines and complaints mark fall registration Each student is assigned a teacher from their field to follow the student ' s years through college They must approve student ' s schedules at registration Students register by the first three letters of their last name. Here students wait for their scheduled time to come so they can be let in to register I can ' t believe these lines! was the phrase heard by students waiting to register for classes. Lines were longer than ever be- fore, at times winding through the student center, around the post office and out the doors onto the sidewalk. It wasn ' t at all unusual for a student to spend two hours or more in registration. This was due to classes being cancelled and having to wait for counselors to approve the student ' s schedule. Pat Huckeby, a junior journalism major said, It ' s so frustrating to have all your classes figured out and then walk in to regis- tration to find they ' re all cancelled and you have to start all over. Students register according to the first three letters of their last name. The schedule is then switched every semester so that everyone has an equal opportunity to regis- ter first. For example someone who ' s last name starts with HAR who registers in the fall at 11:00 on the second day might register in the spring at 1:00 on the first day. The only possible way to beat registration is to have about nine alternate classes ready. It seems that long lines are just the price that has to be paid for Tech ' s student population growth.

Along the beaten path By Dana Dodd For the students, faculty, and administra- tion, there are places on the ATU campus that are visited almost daily. A beaten path is formed. After registration and classification, one of the first places students go is the Student Center to relax and take a quick break be- fore resuming the grinding schedule of be- ginning yet another semester of classes. The next stop is the ATU Post Office, located directly outside the W. O. Young Student Center recreation area. Here, on campus students receive mail and send let- ters. Located just off the Post Office is the A.T.U. Bookstore which provides text- books and various other supplies needed by Tech students and faculty. When information and a study place is needed the Tomlinson Library provides a quiet atmosphere and a helpful staff for A.T.U. students and the surrounding community. The Student Health Center located be- hind Bryan Hall, is staffed by Nurse Janette Wilson who is there to help everyone on the Arkansas Tech campus. When hunger strikes Tech, the majority of students go to Chambers Cafeteria for most of their meals. Another stopping place for over half of the enrolled A.T.U. students is the Finan- cial Aid Office, located in the Student Cen- ter. Here, these students receive the finan- cial aid they need. The last stop on the beaten path is the Student Development Center, located in Suite 124 of the Crabaugh Building. The Center provides services that help students decide on an area of study and on career placement after graduation. Throughout the next fifteen pages is an individual focus on the above mentioned places that form the beaten path.
