Editors' note: This year the University instituted a new method of registration which involved registering during final exam week. As a result of the magnitude of criticism the Registrar received from the student body he submitted the poem at right to the Tel-Buch. University Relations Row 1: C. Blair, Director of University News Bureaug G. Ball, Director of University Relationsg J. Denison, Asst. Director of University Relations. Row 2: G. Ray- mer, Asst. Director of University News Bureaug K. Bushnell, Director of Alumni Relations. Missing: J. Sauvageot, Asst. to the Director of University Relations. ,urns 1 was J Registrar All classes must be scheduled to meet at nine o'clock And must be planned in buildings so students need not walk. The registration process must be painless, with no lines, No closed classes, no forms to fill, and certainly no fines. Students' grades must be made known one hour after class So there will be no doubt as to failing or to pass. Transcripts must be accurate and done right on the spot. To think it takes a little time is a lot of tommy rot. We wish that we could do all these and maybe even more To make the life of students even better than before. But come what may, there is no way to satisfy them all. The only thing that one can do is to complain in Buchtel Hall. 20 G. Hagerman
