IV 5 Registration t 'should be i To the editor: ter Last year when professors started 5n- announcing uslak i, i panicKeu. i ia(j had just figured out a technique for iat 8ettin8 through packet registration within an hour. But the more they ex1 1S plained it, the more optimistic I became. Maybe there was hope. After all, registration had become the dreaded e a initiation that had a tendancy to scare a lot of students away. es But I was wrong. I'm sorry to say OSCAR doesn't work. MY FIRST attempt to enter Carolina Coliseum was brought to a sudden halt when the young fellow at the door announced we could enter, but most of the employees in the Elephant Room were "out to lunch" until 1 p.m. So, with necessary supplies in hand, I sadly walked away, convincing -jaU myself that the second try would be easier. IS 7\ Again I was wrong. Getting into the top floor of the coljpg iseum was simple. I presented my pass and entered. But then 1 found myself in an outrageously long line of people fen- r I i '> of ning with _ olfi A l_ mis | Top- * -,%l ^EtlcVE W6 HAVE SHOttJN T1 jen's adc Lh\kxkk\ i ii/c t^ycx>VAkiP KV1NU rfU?*VUN UlrVA? c,vu\ IVJIVWone so."

But, did you notice that tracking all over campus for signatures for pre-registration had been a waste of time. Not once did I need my preregistration form. I could have walked into that coliseum and signed up for anything I wanted ? no signatures required. After filling out the pink form, I patted myself on the back and proceeded to enter the Elephant Room. Forget it. I knew I was in trouble when another young fellow at the door instructed me to go to the end of the line, which I couldn't see. THEN, I really knew I was in trouble when people started passing out. Others would scrape them off the floor 1 A U miu uiag iiitin mi. But I really knew I was in trouble when I looked outside and saw an ambulance waiting nearby. it < Copy Desk Chief News Editor Asst.

Fnr all fhe students recisterinc. there were all of three scanners. These handy little mechanisms work fine as long as they're functioning. But the problem was they kept going down. THEY WORKED for 20 minutes, then were shut off for 20 minutes for "a rest." Then, there's always the possiblilty that the computers might spit out all your forms. Then what? Start all over again? I felt like I was going into the Army. It took me 4 1/2 hours just to register for my classes. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, but OSCAR should be shot. Registration was the most traumatic pvnpripnrp I ran rpmpmher. I only hope those of us who were victims will recover before next semester.
