Registration Organization! Smooth operation! No more Red-tape! all of ttiese cries and many more were heard the week of Au- gust 24-28 as f lillsaps students, old and new, returned to register for classes. Registration has undergone a great change. Computers, the watchwords of modern day living, have taken hold of Mill- saps. Registration is now completely computerized. This simplifies matters for those in the Business Office, but does it simplify the situation for the students? Students no longer present class cards to professors but merely show up as a name and number on a computer printout sheet. What student wants to stand in line for two hours awaiting his turn in the Busi- ness Office only to find that the computer has not credited his payment? Oh, but, of course, computers don ' t make mistakes, do they!?! Computerization is an advance in that records are more easily sorted and kept up with. However, computerization be- comes a detriment to the school system when it overshadows personal contact between students and staff. Afterall, ' Isn ' t that what Millsaps is all about? »,V ' ' %, 18 — Registration

Setting the Scene To many of us, student lite at Millsaps means a never-ending attack on the stu- dent of homework, tests, or just trying to keep up. We sit over our books knowing that we have to read the next 1 14 pages for Heritage tomorrow; but we ' d rather be somewhere else. Suddenly, our wish comes true when someone says they ' re going to CS ' s for a beer and a video game. Should we go? Of course! We ' ve been studying for an accounting or chemistry test for hours in the deep, dark stacks of the library or hidden in El- sinore, and come stumbling into our dorm room. Have the walls moved in a little or is it just our eyes? Our neighbor next door walks in and says Let ' s go to Tastee ' s for OJ and a donut. All Right! These are just a few thoughts of the life of the Millsaps student. We ' ve tried to capture as many facets of life here as possible, all the way from dressing prep to finals. If we missed one of your favorite activities, write it in the margin.

Moving It All In Boxes, boxes, boxes! Hey, I ' ve looked through all of my stuff and I can ' t find my shoes. Where are my shoes? Oh, yeah, I left them In the closet at the end of the hall. Oh, no!! The air conditioning unit is in there. My shoes have been moved — my shoes have been stolen! Who would want to steal somebody ' s shoes? Well, I can do without shoes but where is the cold air?? I can ' t stand it! Boy, what a way to come back to school. First all of my shoes are stolen, then there ' s no air con- ditioning! If I can just find my stuffed rab- bit. I ' ll be okay. Oh, no! I packed it in the clo set, too. I hope it ' s still there. It isn ' t. Who would take my rabbit? It ' s mine and it ' s old and it ' s gone. . . . Sob. ■iwhtiaw B, Moving In— 19
