Getting it Together Registration...the dreaded word conjures up pictures of long lines and hours of waiting for many students. To prevent this, many Sul Ross stu¬ dents decided to preregister in April and thereby avoid the long lines in August. Preregistration also gave one a greater choice of classes before they were filled, which would result in a complete revision of one’s schedule. Entering freshmen also avoided registration in August by attending one of the two orientations held in June and July. These sessions of¬ fered opportunities for more atten¬ tion from professors and a better chance to get to know other students and select roommates. The June session included testing and talks by various professors such as Just What Do College Teachers Expect From Students? by Psychol¬ ogy Prof Dr. David Cockrum, Suc¬ cess in Time and Money Management for Students, by Coun¬ selor Don Robertson, and Success in Coping with College Life by Admis¬ sions Counselors Eddie Montezuma and Terry Breitbach. The highlight of this session was the dance held at the Graves-Pierce Parking Lot with music provided by disc jockey Dr. Toons to which parents and all SRSU students were invited. August brought registration and the inevitable long lines, especially at the Financial Aid Office. It was a hard year for the Financial Aid Of¬ fice, because the director, Melinda Hilsenbeck, left her position at the beginning of September to teach English in Marfa after having given three months notice. An interim director was hired, and it wasn’t until November that the new director, Deborah Denney, was employed. -Alma Dominguez What To Do, What To Do — Cindy Davis, dircctorof Residential Living, waits while Deb¬ bie Schaechers decides which dorm she wants to live in.
