DUTCH SQUARE= Inquiry By DAVID SMPSON Staff Writer Q) Regarding a campaign promise of pre-registration: Would a change to computer pre-registration be a decision of the student government or of the administration? If this system would be easy to implement, why hasn't it been used in the past?---Edith Frick. A) Any decision concerning registration are first handled by the Registration Committee made up of faculty members and a few students. According to Luther Gunther, director of Registration and Classroom Scheduling, the committee sends it recommendations to the provost and certain advisory boards where they are either accepted or denied. In reference to the pre-registration system stated by Joe Usry in the March 13 GAMECOCK, Dr. Gunter said, "How he plans to pull this off, I don't know." He added that compiling and printing up a computer program for registration would be a massive job. He did state, however, that the current registration procedure is being carried out with computer registration sighted in the future. The reason such a program is not currently installed is that all angles of the system must be studied. Dr. Gunter is in the process of achieving a master schedule that will satisfy the number of courses signed up for during registration. . Presently there are not enough classrooms or faculty members to satisfy every student's "ideal" class time. Through studies and comparisons of other schools, however, a registration to fit the time and needs of the students is being strived for. Dr. Gunter pointed out that if computer registration was used, students would be given times or sections that they may not desire if their choice was filled up. Also last minute changes by the students would be impossible, causing a considerable increase in drop-adds. After weighing all these facts, it is safe to assume that pre-registration will not be a reality for some time to come. Dr. Gunter would like to know the students' stand on registration, so send your comments, preferences, or suggestions to him in care of Inquiry. Q) Do S.C. law enforcers have to have a high school education as part of their job requirements? How many states require this?--Susan Parker. A) According to Capt. Leon Gasque of the State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) law enforcement agents by law must have a high school education. It is a policy of SLED that all agents have a college degree or at least ten years experience in law enforcement. A degree or associate degree in a technical skill is also accepted. Q) Could you please give a breakdown of the $275. per semester academic fees for South Carolina residents. Only $75. of this amount is tuition according to the University catalog, page 39.--Name Withheld. A) According to Bernard Daetwyler of Business Affairs, the breakdown is as follows: $75.-bond debt service to state (tuition) $10. -- infirmary $13.50--student activities $12.50--athletics $42.50---debt service utilized by the University $122.50--goes to university budget and added to the state appropriation of $22,849,782.00. Many students have written in supporting the reinstatement of a Dean's List at USC. If there is enough support shown by students, there will be a good chance that the Dean's List will return. If you wish to show the Administration you care, write to Dean Nelson in care of Inquiry. Any questions? Send them to Inquiry, Drawer A, USC.
