The Coker Life entrance was a two-way entrance and exit, but speeding cars made the narrow drive dangerous so the Preston alley was opened to act as an exit. This was done during spring break. When students returned they found cars emptying out of the parking area into the crosswalk in front of Russell House. At a March 24 meeting of university and student government representatives, it was decided that pedestrian satety needed to be considered first."

Advisement, April 5-30. is fall registration and not preregistration as in the past three years. During this time, students will receive normal advisement and fill out schedule reauest forms The CAR system is modeled after the University of Tennessee's system and is used to great effectiveness at 43 other colleges and universities, according to T. Luther Gunter, director of registration. Tn mppt tho CfVlOrilllinrl l-nn %/ vvv tuv UVIIVUUIIII5 I ^UCOU) Df most students, the system also produces a demand analysis of courses which can be used by department aeans to determine requirements and students needs. Departments will get an idea of how many sections are needed for each course. Students may request at their dean's office free time in their schedules, and the computer will try to provide it. Gunter said. Students who register early have the best chance of getting what they want. The first group of schedule requests will be computed in April. Names will be sorted alphabetically and rotated in five groups to make it as fair as possible, Gunter said. Handicapped students get top priority. For information they should contact the Special Programs Development Center. Gunter named five problems in starting the new system: - The student who will not par ticipate; --The student who will not show up in the fall: -The student who makes F's: --The student who changes his mind: Thn \ I V V-? a r\ar?t?r?l x iiv oi uuvin vi u11 ci jja 1 11 eli schedule. "These problems are basically with you under any registration, but they are more pronounced in pre-registration."

Registered students who receive full schedules need to pay their fees in advance and return to campus by Sept 7 when classes resume.
