Registration Jumble ll Over Again The looks on the faces of these students betray lheir knowledge of what comes next as the receive their brochure of schedules and class cards ro be filled out in the gym. .g U-D summer ends when the endless lines form Some 11,000 students, an increase over the same period a year ago, returned from their summer vacations to register for the fall semester. The long wait for entrance into the gym by early-birds, and cutting into lines by latecomers again prevailed as the rest of the student body busied them- selves by rushing from counter to counter, picking up information and schedules, and then settling down to fill in their cards. Nervous hands of anxious people, broken pencils, and inkless pens cluttered about the tables. Groups of students made their way to the new schedule of courses which listed the subjects, times, rooms, and probable instructors for the fall semester. A sigh of relief could often be heard as students finished their writing and pro- ceeded to the final checks of their regis- tration and then to the bursar's office to make their last transaction, that of tuition.

Those ld Railroad Tickets are Gone Students found that the lines of people waiting to pay the cashier were much shorter with the use of the IBM cards. Now IBM does the hard work A new face of the University of Detroit was added in the spring of 1961 with registration of the Section B engineers. It was the panel of the IBM 1620 digital computer. The purpose of the newly installed system was to relieve the congestion and the hours spent in registering. With this highly mechanized program, the long and detailed railroad ticket was replaced by three rather simple forms. In appraising the worth of the IBM equipment as a tool of registration, those involved with its administration a11d execution called it a success. Mr. Joseph A. Mansour, director of registration, said that the system used was far ahead of similar operations employed by other schools for the past ten years, and the major problem experienced was a universal one of mis- registration by the students. Trained employees operate the machines, which are located in the basement of the Science Building. Operator Martha Bubilla programs pertinent data on student information cards to facilitate student identification. - -Ai , .
