Computers move in In the spring of 1982, Radford students pre-regis'ered for fall quarter using cam-outers for The first time. According to Dr Ed Gibbon, registrar, the change had oeen olanned for nearly two years. He also said student and faculty reaction has been good. Gibbon says the computer system nas many advantages over the old arena” system. It allows for better management, advising and scheduling, and it allows the registrar's office to compi e information from the computer that wed previously done by hand. Laura Robertson, a senior math stat major. says she likes the system better because it means less standing in lines. David Patrick, a finance major, said he thought the system is better than what he nad experienced at Virginia Tech because he was able to force-add impor- tant classes. He added that the terminal operators helped to make the system work because they had been so helpful. Several students who said computer registration wasn't whet they expected offered suggestions on how to improve it. Robertson suggested a system of priority so students can register for classes required in their mejor. Gibbon, however, said no such system is planned because who woud determine who should have prior.ty. Shari Bumstein sugges’ed that students be allowed to reserve sequence classes. Although some changes have been proposed, and they are trying to improve the system, the present budget won't allow for many changes. But, Gibbon added, hopefully as the need chenges we can change with it. Although there ore still a few kinks to be worked out. most students agree they like the rev , computer registration system better than the former one. Be ng o student and a mother is tough at times, but it's especially hard to do both dun ng the otd registre tion system. 24 Student Life
