Moving In is just the first part of the Howard Process. The next part. Registration, immediately follows. Registration was designed to be a simple 1,8,3. process and maybe thoro is a studont somewhere on campus who can prove this to be true, but most students know registration as a frustrating, diabolical process that should be outlawed. Not only is it mentally unhealthy but registration has been known to cause headaches, writer's cramp, and swollen feet. For a lucky few registration is a mass of add-drop cards, signatures, and override slips that get processed a woek or two after the new semester starts. For most Registration starts at 6:30 am when the usually happy go lucky student gets out of bed to try and beat the line to the computer room that doesn't open until 9:00 am. It ends at 4:00 pm when the now harrassed and harried student leaves the computer room with a schedule almost liko the one he wanted. To those students who do know registration as the simple 1.8.3. procoss oould you please call 636-1014 with the unknown but needed secret. As h rdl wait ptur 10 la

tt'liLlillV LtITE All students have their own ideas about student life; for some it’s all academic; for a few a good social life; for most a happy medium - getting a good education and having a good time. For all Howard students it's awareness. An awareness of our roots, politics, blacknoss, the community, and oneself. Student life at Howard involves many problems from the housing lottery and stage rallies to make the administration and the nation aware of our views and ideals. There are also enjoyable activities to make happen and attend. Homecoming activities, campus picnics, and who could forget the fun of a new roommate, moving in, and registration.
