typify registration Every student has the misfortune of having to register, but nothing could top the frustration of this fall's fiasco at U-D. Standing in line four hours was a common experience. The cause for most of the confusion was the lines for those receiving financial aid. The number of students awarded state scholarships was nearly doubled, and there were almost five times as many students receiving grants than in the 1966-67 school year. Four computers proved inadequate when it came time to record state scholarships, Michigan Tuition Grants, National Student Defense Loans, and individual University scholarships simultaneously. To add to the dilemma, the quotas for some courses, which had been determined at preregistration, fell far short of the demand at registration. The registration committee is always ready to remedy the situation. Perhaps next year it won't be so bad. The seven- hour record for registration may never be broken.
