REGISTRATION Reg Week is a fairly common term denoting confusion, long lines and IBM cards. After the student has passed through this process of registering officially in the University several times he thinks he has it down to a system. The registrar ' s office sets up a list every semester to tell the students which days and at which times they must register. It is usually recommended that the student come equipped with pen, identification. $45 this year, much to the shock of those who duly arrived with their $42, and patience. This latter is not required but is quite necessary if one wishes to begin the semester with a somewhat peaceful mind. After the student finds the Men ' s Gym, if he has timed it right, he can walk right in. IMPORTS KEEP YOUR RECEIPTS Then, the Registrar ' s Office insists that no one can pos- sibly get lost. the student is sent through a maze of pathways. upstairs. downstairs. through doors, receiving cards and finally outside. He is then asked to part with his money. given more cards and finally the way out seems clear. All in all it can he said that Cal would not he the same if the Registration system were changed. It is one of the traditions that Cal students will be talk- ing about for many years.
