REGISTRATION: 'Y it ,Q my he grueling drudgery of approaching that desk. Teachers and counselors stand ruthlessly behind the wooden wall mock- ing you as you approach them to try your best. Dont falter, you say to yourself as you bravely step up in line to hand them your schedule. Your mind determinedly reminds you that no matter what they say, they better give you Art and not stick you in typ- ing beacuse second period was crowded Yes, this ritual of battling for classes is commonly referred to as Registration. Just the name conjures up hateful feelings of never getting the right classes. As Renee Paz reflected, Yeah, it was totally confus- ing. When they tell you they don't have that class and to go sit down and make a whole new schedule - you just go, Yeah, right! However, despite the numerous complaints about registration, it has appeared that in the past few years the majority of students have received what they wanted. The counselors contributed this to the new computer registration. They believe it's less ofa hassle Q2 REGISTRATION A, 'F I Z. T T '-'I rs. -, . 'wrt' ,-v-'37 , P . +773 WHY DO YOU WANT THAT CLASS? Wouldn't you rather take Honors Chemistry? Jamie Harker helps out the counseling staff while Cindy Wixon tries 'for the elusive perfect schedule, and frustration for both the kids and counselors to just fill outa card instead of having the counselors pain- stakingly try to juggle classes. Although the situation seems to be computeriza- tion, the questions that bring reality to the situation are, Do the students want it? and Do the teachers actually want it? Sure, computerization helps the counselors. but for the students, it usually leaves the question of why their schedule is completely messed up, and for the teachers, it is the frustration of receiv- ing students that may not seriously waht to be in their class. As Jullian Lodge stated, I like enthusiastic classes with students who really want to work and participate, but I don't believe that l'll have that enthusiasm with cornputerization because some of the kids whould be put in a class with teachers they don't want. As another student, Stacey Jacoy. stated, it's just not fair that I get a teacher I don't want just because of a computer. So the problem remains unsolved as Toney Pines continues to approach a totally computerized regis- tration. At the rate Torrey Pines is going, it will all be computerized in one to two years. ln two years, the Seniors and Juniors who once knew the personal registration are extinct, and only students who don't know any better exist, ironically, one Freshman stated, Computerization'? Oh, it's all right, I don't know anything else. - Cassie Doerfling ,, Y.. -. .,,,,,-,,,,.,, . ' 5 - a::,1w:,:-'JR' ,t 15.-. ji, 1. 'fl s hsxlwn. THE BATTLE CONTINUES ,.
