Registered students numbered 395 at the State Normal School at Kearney in 1905. In 1980, 6,948 students registered for classes at KSC, including 2,890 men and 4,058 women. Resident students paid $19 per credit hour in 1980; the cost for non- resident students was $34. Students also paid an activity fee, health fee, and facilities fee, as well as special fees for parking and late registration. Ap- proximately 85 percent of the student population received some form of financial assistance, either through scholarships or governmental aid, ac- cording to Sharon Pelc, Director of Financial Aid. As in other years, long lines and closed classes typified a day at the Nebraskan for registering students. Registration for juniors, seniors and graduate students opened on the same day, which resulted in long waits and crowded conditions for many. Freshman and sophomore registra- tion proceeded more smoothly on the following days with the implementa- tion of a lottery system based on stu- dent social security numbers. —A dele Thompson The check a student writes for tuition and fees is just one of many. Books, housing and food must also be paid for. College personnel assist students at registration. Winz —Mark Winz
