Just Armory Registration Diamondback Few things during Armory Regis- tration are guaranteed, but one thing you can always count on is long lines. You may beg and plead with the per- son stamping the add slips at the reg- istration tables to let you into the class, but unless you slip him $1,000 you can probably forget it. (Unfortu- nately, most students are on a tight budget.) So you add classes that are supposed to enrich your mind not your resume and since no one else wants them, there are always open seats. Finally, you have enough credits to maintain your scholarship, remain a full-time student, or keep your Mom and Dad happy. You leave the Armory frustrated, thanking god that you are graduating in May and do not have to go through this ordeal again. At least, you hope so! Dale Sloan Sacha Jotisalikorn Fall 21

Not The N.Y. Stock Exchange The animals have been let out of their cages for the day in order to add as many classes as possible to their schedules. What day is it? Ar- mory Registration day, of course. Although there are no real animal species in the Armory, the building turns into a zoo for several days at the beginning of each semester. Freshmen through seniors sprawl out on the floor, schedules of classes in hand, and try to acquire a seat in one of their required classes which the computer failed to give them during preregistration. First, the students face lines out- side the Armory waiting patiently for their last names to be called. After showing the proper student i.d. ' s, they proceed up the steps. After several more i.d. checks, they at last see the inside of the building, better known as the land of adds and drops. Gerald Johnston Art Allard 20 Fall
