cards, and the rest was used for packet completion and accuracy checks. This improved the flow of traffic, Dr. Peter Strawitz, coordinator of registration, said. I think it's one of the smoothest physical arrangements we've ever had. he added. Another change in the spring was the closing of registration from noon to 1:30 p.m. and from 3 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. This was done to allow faculty members time for lunch and dinner, and it caused both faculty praise and student com- plaints. Packet distribution continued until the closing times, which caused some students to be interrupted during the registration process. A future improvement will be the stopping of packet distribution a half- hour before closing times to allow stu- dents to complete registration, Strawitz said. While students enjoyed the speedi- ness of the procedure, one aspect of registration still brought complaints - increased fees. Different fee scales were used for the two semesters. The fall fees were paid on a sliding scale, with a basic fee of 5100.15 for 7 or more semes- ter hours and a tuition fee of S5 per credit hour for residents of Louisiana, with non-residents paying S30 per credit hour. The sliding fee scale was replaced in the spring by a full-time fee of 5195.05 for 12 or more hours. Students having their identification cards validated for meals during spring registration received a decal for the back of the card instead of the usual stamps. The decals are divided into squares to be marked each time the stu- dent uses the card for meals. The change to the decals was made by Bill Bryant, cafeteria manager, and Nicholls administrators to eliminate the loaning of cards and because the red stamp used previously was not always clearly visible. Another problem at registration was the shortage of men's housing. The problem was most serious in the spring, when sufficient housing is usually available, Dwight Boudreaux, director of housing, said. An increase in fresh- men registering in the spring was thought to be responsible for the hous- ing shortage. Orientation for incoming freshmen was held each semester. The freshmen were welcomed by Dr. Vernon Galli- ano, university president, and intro- duced to Dr. G. G. Varvaro, vice presi- dent of student affairs, Helen Blake- man, acting dean of women, William Duncan, dean of men, and Danny Cavell, Student Government Associa- tion president. Dwight Boudreaux pre- sided over the orientation procedures. ' '39 F 't Pennington -u:::'Q:,' vin ' -fl if 'Eff ff. 17.-.. ,,'. , . 1 -fits. -1 vii 4 ?4t5 1E'- .X .eg 5, S f R1 1 5?
