24fStudent Life at At Last! Telephones Make Registration Just A Phone Call Away , .,,g.t. ...--sv-hill!! 1 egistration has always been the bete noire of the college or university student. No matter how easily or how speedily the student may make it through the lines to get registered for his classes, it never seems easy or quick enough. Georgia State has come a long way from the days when students just lined up at the door and raced for the academic tables to sign up. Now the computers do most of the work for us and although the lines are still long, they are nothing like the horror of the fifties and sixties. No longer are students required to get to school by 6:00 am just so that they can register for a class . . . any class. ln an effort to speed up things even more, the Georgia State Office of the Registrar has worked out a system of registration whereby students can call in their schedule by telephone. Now, that's progress. Students don't have to stand in lineg they can sit by the telephone in their bathrobes and drink a cup of coffee while they phone in their class preferences. The paper work is then mailed out to the students and it's clear sailing from there. Georgia State is one of the first universities to try this type of registration and a test group is working out all the kinds so that when it gets into full swing, we can all smile during what can be the most frustrating part of the process. Score a big one for GSU!
