X5 ! lift fl K xx XX Regard registration as 'labyrinth of confusion' Registration is inevitably and unavoidably chaotic. Ifyou ask Director of Registration Joseph A. Mansour why. he might indicate the thousands of students, the myriad of courses and sections for which they register, and the 16 full registration periods. If you ask the average registration-confused student why, he will point duinbly to students waiting in seem- ingly endless lines for the multitude of cards to be filled out. Or he might indicate tables full of frustrated students inking out the answers to the repetitious questions presented on the cards. However, as any veteran of the University knows well, a few years ago the confusion of registration was more than double what it is now. In previous years, Mansour points out, both sides of 20 cards had to be filled out by the student. Since the installation of IBM computers only five cards are completed at registration. Actually registration has gotten to the point where most of the confusion is in the preconceived notion of freshmen who have heard about the medley of closed classes, cruel advisors, and labyrinth of equally confused people. Another source of confusion exists in the minds of upperclassmen who have experienced one or two lamentable late registrations when all their classes were closed. In the near future, Mansour says, the student should be able to completely register for class in what is now considered the preregistration period. Although this will mean considerably less work for the student it will create a number of problems for the Registration Department. In addition to assigning students to classes, the depart- ment also has the task of scheduling classes, sections, and rooms: scheduling final exams, and processing grades.
