Long Lines, Hot Days, And New Classes All too soon, the laid-back days of summer become the first weeks back at school. By the end of August, the UNCC student can forget about the lazy days of sunning around the pool, and can begin build- ing the courage and stamina necessary to face the barrage of long lines, hot days, and new classes that await at the beginning of each semester. First comes the physical bat- tle of moving in. Endless steps, broken elevators, and new (and sometimes strange) roommates must all be over- come and adjusted to. Then comes the first set of long lines — the wait for mealcards and telephone installation. The commuter student faces his own set of lines — those for I.D.s and parking stickers. Assuming the student sur- vives the first phase of trials, next comes the big test — registration. No one really knows the true meaning of fear and loneliness until ventur- ing forth to the gym floor, class schedule and pencil in hand, in hopes of assembling a com- plete schedule. For those who can ' t get into the gym, or for those who blow it and stand in all the wrong lines, there is Drop Add. Drop Add can last as long as a week; a week of running to the Registrar ' s of- fice, to the Math Department, then to the English Depart- ment, back to your advisor, over to the gym, etc. No one can be considered a true col- lege student until having par- ticipated in this exhausting, te- dious, and frustrating ritual of college life. But don ' t think for a minute that the worst is over and there ' s nothing but wild parties and skipped classes ahead, for now. armed with cash, check- book, or emergency funds, the UNCC student must go to the bookstore and stand in line for three hours to pay $150.00 for books which he doesn ' t want to read in the first place. They always tell students when en- tering school that they can re- sell books and buy used books inexpensively, but no one ever sells the book you need, and who in their right mind would buy your old copy of The Joys of Peasant Life in Southern Botswana? Finally though, classes do be- gin and all of the waiting in line and frantic running to get somewhere is over. But now mid-terms begin, reading is as- signed, and papers are due. And there in the back of your mind is the nagging knowl- edge that you paid to have the privilege to do all this, and that it starts all over again in only four months. by Lisa Jones This person isn ' t having any trouble with his schedule — Wanna ' bet on thaf REGISTRATION 17
