Registration Fall 85 ‘‘OH NO! Not that time again!’’ This is what many students say when the dreaded day of registration comes around twice a year, which is twice a year too many. First you have to get a permit to register before you can even get in the door of the student center. This entails going across campus and tracking down your advisor. After your schedule if filled out and signed, it’s time to go to the student center and have a run-in with the computers. Most of the time everything runs fairly smooth, but there is always some unlucky individual that the computer breaks down on, or the poor student that has waited in line for an hour just to find out that the class he has planned to take has just been filled.

“Or H) RE Dit it What better way to show your support for the Wonder Boys than to have a community pep rally? Arkansas Tech and Russellville High held their second annual community pep rally at Peoples Bank on West Main. Many students from both schools participated. The cheerleaders from Tech and RHS cheered and the Rusellville drill team performed. Both bands were there playing their fight songs and supporting their team. The Greeks did their part by having a banner contest. The pep rallies were held for the purpose of bringing the community together. It was a great way to get students involved. Top: The banner contest was the main event at the pep rally. Center: Delta Zetas won the con- test. Bottom left: Tech cheerleaders watch from the side while the squad from Russellville High performs.
