As a freshman, you ' re amazed at what looks like all of lUP moving slowly through the maze of registration. It ' s the first major obstacle of a new semester, a time for excitement, anxiety, despair and relief. Registration is full of friends hugging each other after long separa- tions, and people squinting up at a huge board full of numbers. These quickly be- come a blur due to excessive registra- tion week partying and the student ' s 5th and 6th time through the computer terminals. The most dreaded words dur- ing registration ore, The following sec- tions have been closed. The most wel- come word is yes, after a student begs, argues and pleads with a dean for a class that has been closed. Nothing, however, compares with the feeling of relief for on lUP student when he finally hits the fresh air outside Zink Hall, and realizes it ' s all over . . . until next semes- ter! 19

President John E. Worthen John E. Worthen has been the presi- dent of Indiono University of Pennsylva- nia since October 1979. He considers himself an educator who tries to encour- age others to strive to do the best they can. lUP has a strong faculty and an able, enthusiastic student body, according to Worthen. It is a great place for stu- dents to go to college, said Worthen, and this is due, in large measure, to the students themselves. If he were to leave lUP, the president said he wants the students to remember that during his administration lUP reject- ed the survival mentality produced by the economic dificulties of the 1980s and continued to improve. Worthen said he also wants better recognition of the extraordinary po- tential of the faculty and students which could help to attract more public and private resources. 20
