Zeta Tau Al AROUND THE CAMPUS .Redmond Tyler I certainly am glad that registration is over. I stood line the other day for twenty minutes, waiting to sign up some English course. When I finally got into the offic found that I had my choice of two sections, eight in morning or three in the afternoon. Now I'm not the one to get up early on Monday morni for when I left the farm, I left. And three in the aftern is kinda bad too, cause I'm one that likes to swim dur W the spring afternoons, not sit in some classroom and dr over a Co-ed who goes trotting by with some TKR ... thi the Greek equivalent for Tappa Kega Rye. When I protest heartily at such treatment, the charm lady in the office does everything she can to console me. E tells me what a good Joe the "prof" is and how he flui only . . . only mind you . . . 47.8% of the class. She si that he never gives a quiz the day of a big dance, always ' morning after, and as for cuts ... why he never meets ci on Sunday. "He's so generous", she sighs.. Well, when I tell her that this Joe isn't for ole' J. Redmo she comes across with the suggestion that I take anot] course under a new Professor, named Harderanhell, who coming to Carolina from T. I. M. or somewhere like tli where he is past associate instructor in suspension bric construction. Furthermore this guy Harderanhell is an + pert in cable twisting. This makes me a bit curious so I a what course this Joe is teaching. I find that ole' Harderanhell is offering a new course English composition ... It seems that he thought he was teach steel composition. Still being a bit skeptical I a about his qualifications and find that he holds such degr< as B.S. in Anatomy from some co-ed school in the State Drunkenness, thus bringing his degrees to B.S., M.S. (sls for much sonsumption) and also I find that he is Imini Past Grand High Supreme Big Wheel of S.O.T. Fraterni But, ole' Harderanhell ain't for me. So then I ask abi other courses to be offered. It seems that one Profes; Lottalaughs is offering a course that might be to my liki but I heard from a friend that he steals his joke from I columnists in The Gamecock, and as I don't like their jo] " I drop him quick. Anyway, he is advocating the remo of the ball atop Maxcy monument, and said ball should be removed, in my way of thinking. Thus, I end up taking an entirely different course, ai different hour and in an entirely different department. A poe-hem describing my idea of pre registration: - Pre-registration is the devil's creation!
