e ' s not alone in his quest. Let ' s not forget those upperclassmen rho get to experience the exultation of an icomplete schedule. Ellen Leonard, a ju- ior in social work, was one of these privi- ged individuals. She was very optimistic bout the ordeal, explaining that although he had to go through drop add, most of he people were very helpful. Many freshmen also receive incomplete chedules. This is usually because either omeone really screwed up or because the omputer, realizing the student was a reshman, put him on low priority. Actual- this isn ' t too much of a problem for many freshmen, since they are usually unsure of what classes they want to take anyway. Going through drop add allows the student to take a few more elective classes. Steve Crew, a freshman from Cen- tre Star, wasn ' t too upset by the change in plans: I really didn ' t know what to take anyway, but I guess most freshmen don ' t. The computer, now functioning as well as can be expected, could set an example for some other aspects of the registration process. Improvements need to be made concerning the location of tables on the floor and where the parking decals can be found. The checkout system is still a cause for confusion and long lines, but a patient student can endure these trivialities for the satisfaction of knowing that for one more semester his fate is in the hands of the University of Alabama. B The agony of indecision. There are so many courses to pick irom. And finally when you find a class you really want to take, it ends up being offered at a time in conflict with one of your other classes. Then comes another decision. Should you rearrange your schedule to fit that class in or should you forsake that nonimportant class for yet another one. I give up! You de- cide. Registration 1 3

Night Lights Get loose at the Noose sums it up best when you ' re talking about U.A. night. Besides the regular pool tables, pin ball machines, T. V. ' s, and bar side manners of the bartenders. The Noose is able to attract a crowd of students on it ' s courtyard merits alone. The courtyard serves as a romantic spot on the nights when The Noose is less crowded, and as a cool place for students to mingle when the inside is packed with pool hustlers and smoke. The Noose ' s slogan sums it up perfect; students like to go out to the local night spots, get loose, and have a good time. Gilletes seems to be able to draw in quite a few greek students. But they don ' t do it on the atmosphere or bargains that they may supply, but on the students whose friends go there to mix with their other friends. The Sigma Nu house always has plenty of cars in their yard from the spillover. A popular method of beer drink- ing is to buy all the 254: beer your table can hold before the special has ended and to drink it as quickly as possible. Greeks are drawn by the Greek night specials where a particular sorority or fraternity is honored by allowing all its members to drink all the beer they can for just $1. Look out for the bull. Not the Schiltz bull, but the new mechanical bull at Solo- mon ' s Downstairs. If you ' re not a pinball whiz then try your hand (or other parts) on the new bucking and turning bull. There ' s plenty of padding to cushion those rough landings. Solomon ' s Downstairs is able to attract students with the hit rock performers they book in the place. Though the seating ca- pacity has decreased significantly to make room for the bull and the steep prices seem to discourage students, Solomon ' s Dowmstairs is still able to pack them in and charge a three or four dollar cover charge on nights when popular stars, such as Eli and Hotel, are featured. For a real western atmosphere students head out to The Cowboy. Stuffed cactuses, waiters in boots and hats, and country mu- sic brings out the country lover in every- one. Thursday and Friday night happy hours are the best time to see University students sitting in the western bar and eat- Solomon ' s is a popular gathering place for beer drir king students who enjoy the live hard rock band music performed for their entertainment.
