Fall ’87 registration shows 9% increase By John R. Toler Once again the shuffling of feet, sighs of impatience and long lines marked the registration process for the 87-88 KC fall semester. Students who took advantage of the early advisement and registration last spring avoided the lines and had no problems with their class selections. Thus the old saying proved true once again, “the early bird gets the classes he prefers.” Enrollment again showed an increase over the previous fail, with a total of 4,322 students signed up, compared to 3,934 for the same period in 1986. The numbers revealed 1,275 indistrict, 2,964 out-of-district, 80 out of state and three foreign students. This marks the second highest KC registration total, second only to the all-time high of over 4.500 students in the fall of 1983- not bad for these post “oil boom days.” Computerization speeded up and made the process of registering a little easier for most students, according to Joe Cruscturncr, KC registrar. Each station along the line was able to enter one’s Social Security number and check his her class schedule. Most corrections and other particulars could then be made into the computer instead of scurrying back across campus in order to make the necessary changes. “The enrollment increase could have been attributed to several factors: unemployment, more students headed toward bachelor degree programs and higher tuition and fees at four-year universities,” said Cruseturncr. Possibly the most important reason in the overall enrollment increase can be attributed to the people who live in the East Texas area, and their realization that they must adapt to a changing world through education.

Campus clubs hold fall recruitment day By Slae Brannon Club Day was held in the early part of the fall ‘87 semester, giving the various clubs and organizations on campus a chance to inform the students about their activities and events. Many of the clubs set up booths between the Randolph C. Watson Library and the Liberal Arts Building to hand out pamphlets and other information. The professional organizations at KC serve to promote a friendship among students as well as a persuit of special talents and interests. They earn money for scholarships and donations for charities, and also for club field trips. The social organizations on the KC campus are popular and promote spirit during school activities. The social clubs do require that members go through five weeks of pledging, but most pledges admit it is all worth it.
