An estimated 20,000 students registered last week at the Coliseum. The exact number of students who registered will not be available until next week because late registration continues through Sept. 9. Berlin called registration analogous to an Andy Warhol movie: "You know that -some CoigaVo Evrwhr' oetun, oits remider hat he UC capuis ferntths umer a cnsruti preene flt o atlest ea./ thigs appnin ths smme at l tPast i fold Differ '..he fall registration a where, there has to be a point to it, but hell if you can figure out what .the point is."

He said the schedule students pre-registered with in the spring was revised in late summer and was revised again before registration.
