Registration switches from computer; Students sign up for spring in 3 days Sometimes I wonder if I ' m Ever gonna make it home again, It ' s so far and out of sight . . . — Carole King Each registration presents its own unusual problems added to all the ones inherent in the whole miserable system. Registration for fall 1972 was switched from the computer to the old manual card-pulling routine. In the spring the process remained the same but the site was different — the Murphy center handled the 9,000 registrants. One should also remem- ber that the worst snowstorm of the winter of 1972-73 came on spring registration day, but next to some of the catastrophes encountered in the lines, the snow seemed a positively minor annoyance.
