Registral BY CHERE COPE Staff Writer "Because of the complete co operation between administra tion, faculty, and students, this was one of the best registra tions ever," Director of Student Records Bill Meads said. H e stated that the increased number of student workers, pre-advisement, and a booklet outlining registration proce dures to all departments also kept things running remarkab ly smooth. Student body president, Dave Spinazzolo said, however, a big problem in registration was the registration of law studen ts...

Spinazzolo is an advocate of computerized registration which has been tried with suc cess at universities around the country. Computerized registration would involve a student regis tering with his advisor. His courses would than be fed into a computer and the exact number of students for each course would be determined.

St ever" Spinazzolo explained. "Instead of students register ing around the faculty, the faculty would teach when the most students could take their classes," Spinazzolo said. "The taxpayers entrust the university with providing the best possible education for the students in the perscribed time, "he added. "Students are not getting paid to come here like the faculty, so why should a par ent have to pay for an extra semester because the student has been closed out of several courses he needs for his degree. Computerized registration would do a great deal to eliminate this." Meads said that the registra tion committee is looking for ward to computerized registra tion sometime in the future. He would not say when this would be possible... "When, exactly, depends on when we can get the trained personnel and set up a workable program," Meads said. "This sort of thing can't be done overnight; it takes time to set it up." Language professor Watland dies Dr. Charles Dunton Watland, 59, of the USC Foreign Languages Department died Tuesday, Dec. 26 in his home at 2330 Terrace Way. Watland came to USC in 1966 from Marquette University where he taught in the same capacity as associate professor. Having received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Swathmore College he went on to receive the M. A. and Ph. D. from the University of Min nesota. Born in Albert Lea, Minn. he was the son of the late Albert and Myrtie Watland. During WW II Dr. Watland served in the U. S. Embassy in San tiage, Chile. Soon after joining the USC faculty he was recognized as an authority on the Nicaraguan poet Ruben Dario. His works on Dario earned him commendations from the Nicaraguan governments. Surviving is a sister, Miss Vir ginia Watland of McAllen, Tex. The family suggests that those who wish, may make memorials to the Nicaraguan relief fund of the American Red Cross. [NG TAUR ANT USC stu plays mE BY EARNIE KASTNER A Carolina student, Amanda Graham, will play a major role in the Workshop Theatre's production of "The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds." Graham, a freshman theatre major, will play the role of Ruth, a psychotic individual who exists in a chaotic state most of the play. The hardest thing about the part, Graham said, is the emotional changes required of the performer. The part puts a great physical strain on the performer as the energy level one must maintain is constan tly changing. In this role, Graham must go from extreme emotional highs to a seri ous breakdown. The play centers around the rela tionship between a mother and her two daughters. Graham, as Ruth, plays one of the daughters. The play will run from Jan. 30 to Feb. 10 and Harvey Golden will direct it. Golden is a director who does not believe in pushing his performers too hard, Graham said. He does not want the cast to reach their peak too early. If you reach your peak too soon, Graham added, there is no place to go but down. "I am very happy with this part," Graham said, "and I feel that it will help me in both my studies and career." "At the moment," Graham said, "I would like to go into acting. However, it will take me a couple of years to decide whether I have HE WAN from I1:( Part Time Nights 1211 College S dent ijor role the potential to be an actress." I feel that in every Fole an actress does she grows, she gains an insight into characterization and gains more confidence and experience. So the more roles she does the more she knows her potential."
