Some soft music helps to calm the student as he goes through the hectic process of registering. Students line up in the Memorial Building - sometimes for hours - to arrange their class schedules, get parking stickers, pay tuition and buy used books. In the arena there are questionnaires to be answered and IBM cards to be filled out. Trial schedules are manipulated to allow time between classes for coffee in the Union. Occasionally a time conflict will arise between courses and the student is forced to seek help from the Conflicts Desk. And that means waiting in another line. The process of registering normally takes from two to three hours depending on the student's class rank. By the time he is a senior, the student's upper division courses are only offered at one time. Trial schedules become easier to formulate and the strain of registration is eased to some degree. Outside the arena, when students think they can relax, they find more tables and more lines, including one for ID pictures. Here, representatives of all the organizations on campus gather to recruit new members. Students can get tickets at half price to Town and Gown or join a club. Even Uncle Sam is there.

assistance from state Tuition rant Pro ram 2-an Over one million dollars worth of financial assistance passes annually through the office of Robert Peters, director of Financial Aids. This aid, in the form of grants, scholarships and gov- ernment loans, makes a college education a reality to over 1600 U-D students. This year a new Tuition Grant Program for students enrolled in higher cost private institutions was inaugurated by the State of Michigan. Uni- versity oiiicials gave full support to this bill when it was placed before the legislature. Their efforts proved to be successful, and 227 freshmen are receiving aid from it. The only stipulations are that a student be a resident of Michigan for three years and of good moral character. In addition to direct financial aid, Peters' office maintains a Work-Study Program to pro- vide students with campus jobs. Bob Peters gives financial aid to more than 1600 students. vw- . ll!! 1.i ' ,-l - '- - .. I f B 25
