Registration The first real learning experience of a UNC-A student involves filling out a two-term schedule card, standing in line at the Registrar ' s Office for hours, replacing classes that are already filled, signing about a dozen class cards and forgetting your Social Security number. Drop Add forms are often a maze of red tape and frus- trations—obtaining professors ' approval, juggling hours, professors, and subjects, and finally rushing to stand in line to drop undesirable classes. Then comes another long line at the Business Office to pay fees, tuition, parking fines, collect parking stickers, forms, and receipts and emerging momentarily financially and spiritually broken.

Others who prefer more stimulating activities such as staying out late, oversleeping, and cutting classes find the Humanities Lecture Hall the perfect place to catch a quick nap, the Bibliography classes a source of daily funny papers, and the Elementary English classes an outlet for more and less humorous essays that express their frustra- tions with being placed on academic probation. After com- pleting the required courses, students began to seriously think about majors, degree requirements, and future careers. That ' s when classes really become tough, challeng- ing, and fun.
