One disadvantage of the systen came to light when it was discov ered that students were cuttinj classes in order to register foi courses, time, and professors the3 wanted. Student Opinion Student opinion seems to be that "pre-registration was a good idea"; an idea not entirely shared by the faculty, who suffered under a double load of registration and classes. Dr. Rollin E. Godfrey, director of admissions and registration, said disadvantages of USC pre registration are that students don't have sufficient time with their advisors, and the tension stu dents feel about getting into classes is too great. By using the five-day procedure, the confusion of registering large numbers of students in one day was lessened, according to Dr. Godfrey. Closer Association It is hoped that a closer associa tion of students and faculty ad visors was achieved, since regis tration materials were obtained from advisors. The "check station," where each student's materials are examined for accuracy and completeness, and checking approval of materials by the dean of each student's school were eliminated this semester. Identification card photographs have also been eliminated because of delays caused by machine breakdowns, cost of making the photographs, and problems of dis tribution outweigh the use of the photograph. Favors Good Students Pre-registration favors the good student who habitually passes all courses, according to Dr. Godfrey. Disadvantages of the procedure result when a student falls a pre requisite course after he has en rolled for the succeeding course. Course failures can greatly complicate arrangement of stu dent and class schedules when large numbers of students are In volved, as in freshman classes. Planning for the pre-registra tion process has been going on for more than a year, Dr. Godfrey said. Initial plans were made in September, 1960, and were re vised and refined after each suc ceeding registration period. "Pre-registration procedure Is another step in a continuing at tempt to Improve the complicated process of enrolling the Univer sity's thousands of students for clauses," said Dr. Godfrey. ,Heaviest pro-registration wasn Monday, wih a lull during the middle of the week, and heavier crowds later.

The grant to USC is the largest of four in South Carolina. National S c i e n c e Foundation Intelligent Faith Week Begins Soon Intelligent Faith Week, formerly Religious Emphasis Week, will be held on campus February 5-9. If any organization or group would like a guest speaker, one can be obtained by writing to Box 425, campus mail. The name of the or ganization, the place and time when it will meet (including an alternate time if possible), and the person responsible for the meeting should be given. The sponsors of Intelligent Faith Week will be glad to supply a speaker to anyone interested, but they must be contacted immediately. The schedule is now being drawn up. If the group or organization waits too long, a speaker may not be available. Intelligent Faith Week, an an nual event at the University, brings many outstanding religious speakers to the campus. Special events during the week include lectures, dorm devotions, and ques tion and answer periods with the religious authortes. Shor Proc ........ 'T FENCE M iminate some of the long lines and k.
