Computers Increase Efficiency of Registration Computerized pre-registration became a reality in 1969. Dr. Harry S. Gallagher, the newly appointed Registrar. expressed his satisfaction with the speed and accuracy of the computerized pre-registration system. Students met with advisors in the spring, and chose class times as well as courses for the fall semester. No pink cards were issued. Payment of fees was conducted by mail during the summer, thus alleviating much of the registration chaos during the first week of school. When classes began in the fall, instructors were provided with rosters of properly registered students in their classes. The new system has proven highly efficient. Dr. Gallagher estimated that seven out of ten students received their desired rosteis and found no need for revision. He explained that the primary objective of the Registrar's Office is to work for the students and faculty, and to narrow the percentage of errors made in class scheduling. Dr. Gallagher expected to eventually provide the ease of pre-registration for 95? of Temple's students.
