also speeds up registration
for each student.
A by-product of pre
advisement is the "printout
summary of pre
advisement". Copies of the
summary are given to the

proper course planning by
department heads and gives
the book stores an idea of the
books they will need on hand.
Eileen Berlin, secretary
for student welfare, has seen
registration from both sides.
Besides having to register

"Under the current plan, this
registration was as good as it
could be...when you are
operating under an archaic
system you can only go to a
certain point."
The idea of setting up SGA
complain' tables was a big
help to a lot of students. SGA
President, Rita McKinney,
said the 95-98 per cent of the
students who came to the
tables with problems, had
them solved.
The most common
problems were not being able
to find a section open at a
convenient time or finding
out all sections were closed
for a course you really
needed. These types of
problems were easily solved
by the "veterans" manning
the complaint tables.
Overall, registration was a
success--much more than
anyone expected, but in the
semesters to come, com
puiterization is going to be the
answer.
