The end of one quarter brings on The Beginning of Another With the incorporation of the computer to assist in pre-registration, many thought that the fear of past registrations was gone. What fear? The fear of the eternally endless lines. Well, the lines are still there! The estimated average time for the registration process was one to two minutes, but no one bothered to consider the time spent waiting in line. It seems however, there ' s nothing which can be done to eliminate these lines. Another major problem lies not in the registration process, but in finding financial aid. Many students seem to take it for granted that someone will just give them financial aid. Well, help is there! GSC offers a wide range of financial aid programs to meet the needs of students. Some of the major programs include the Pell Grants, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, National Direct Student Loans, and Work-Study and Institutional Work programs. There are also numerous scholarships available for those who qualify. A good place to start in quest of financial aid is the Financial Aid office in the Rosenwald Building. MOVING IN REGISTRATION 1

Students learn to make a dormitory a Home Away From Home Almost every student, at some time or other, is faced with the dilemma of finding a place to live while at school. Although this may seem to be a simple task, actually there are several factors involved. Moving into a dorm is relatively easy, since there ' s not much room to move anything into. The Housing De- partment usually chooses a roommate for you and if the two of you get along, then everything is just great, but if you don ' t, then that is another problem entirely. Moving into an apartment is a completely different story. Millions of things are involved with this. Finding roommates, apartments, and getting everything hooked up is all a part of the process. However frustrating moving into your new home away from home may seem, most students agree that once everything is settled, there is not another experience quite like it. These students make one last trip in the rain, while the roommates below ponder over what to unload next. r 10 STUDENT LIFE

With each new quarter comes the Bookstore Blues As the enrollment at Southern continues to augment, so does the need for convenient all-purpose shopping. This need is continually fulfilled by the Eagle Bookstore located in Landrum Center. Just as the name suggests, the Eagle offers a complete selection of books for every course taught at Georgia Southern. However, the Eagle does not simply supply just books for students; other top line products are available as well. The selection includes everything from shorts to shampoo, from pencils to posters. Fur- thermore, the Eagle provides the campus with more than quality merchan- dise; and accessible check-cashing policy is available to students in which checks may be written for as much as twenty-five dollars over the purchase amount. Finally, in further extension of its services, the Eagle also employs students on the work-study program. The bookstore employs students as cashiers through the work-study program. The bookstore carries a large amount of merchandise besides books, such as posters, records, cards, and health supplies. 12 STUDENT LIFE
