The Next Step: Registration This year’s registration took on a few new features. One was the change in location, and the other was the computer terminals which eased the work for the Records Of- fice. Students did not seem to mind waiting in the Administration Building instead of the Science Center. There were the usual hold- ups for Freshmen who found out their classes were full, but seeing names printed out on the computer terminals took their minds off the frustrating moments. The stu- dents, faculty and staff were all glad it was a cool day so that the Administration Build- ing’s lack of air- conditioning didn’t make the heated times hotter. Dave Detrow, director of the Records Office, said, “It was good to have a few changes in the normal registra- tion procedure this year.” Lucinda Swartzentruber Steve Landis Happenings 19
