( As Term Begins Brightens Quad The Scourge THE LAST DAYS of summer came and it was once again the time of year for that dreaded ritual which is i the scourge of all studentkind — Registration! “This year,” everyone said, “will be different. We have a ferocious new weapon with which to fight against the perils of Registration, a weapon which will rid us of the long lines and terrible panic and confusion among the student ranks: the Com¬ puter.” This joyous news was met with cheers and sighs of relief, for this year a record number of students was ex¬ pected to descend eagerly on the fair campus, and without the Computer, everyone shuddered to think of the disaster which might occur, hours in line under a broiling sun, con¬ fusion and frustration once inside the cafeteria. But Registration arrived and sadly, all their careful plans were dashed. Little had the administration sus¬ pected that 400 more students than anticipated would join the forces. Disaster came. The hours passed on and the lines stretched longer and longer as the open class lists became shorter and shorter. Finally the ordeal was over and after a few days every¬ one was once again hopeful. “Next year,” they said, “will be different.” ... WALK! DON ' T RUN! Scorching heat and long lines charac¬ terize hectic days of registration. As students gird themselves for another registration late this month, they have secret hopes that the computer won ' t spit out their data. FRUSTRATION-“If this is the way it ' s got to be, it ' s got to be.” SPACE AVAILABLE-“I wonder what they are giving away at that table.” 5

THE POLICE SCIENCE program of¬ fers students a variety of classes, covering all aspects of police work. Students here examine latent prints by using iodine- fuming test. ACQUIRING the right kind of an education in terms of a career can often be like wander¬ ing through a series of mazes. The student finds himself rushing through the process slowly. What about the large number of students who have no definite goal? What can they do to achieve the academic and monetary suc¬ cess they desire? Perhaps the answer lies in the field of occu¬ pational education, a two-year program de¬ signed to equip the student with the know¬ ledge and training he will need to have a rewarding career in the future. The curricula is influenced by political, social and economic changes in our society, and is constantly being revised to keep up with these changes, besides maintaining a high level of instruction in the principles of each trade or occupation. Some examples of the occupational curri¬ cula in the field of business and related occu¬ pations are as follows: Advertising, Book¬ keeping, and Business Management. In the field of Service occupations are Dental Assisting, Cosmetology, and Voca¬ tional Nursing. In the field of technical occupation are Graphic Arts, Drafting Technology, and Ar¬ chitectural Technology. Many college students here who are un¬ certain about their careers for the future are unaware of the opportunities at SCC. For these many students, and especially for those among them wh o do not wish to transfer to a four-year college or university, the chance is here, the variety of vocational choices is wide. A Two-Year Program Vocational Training Malady of Career Uncertainty Plagues Countless Students THE MERCHANDISING PROGRAM ' S objectives are to give the student information and skills helpful to successful performance on the job. A great majority of the units earned are those gained from on-the-job experience. 7
