Washington was the site of two anniversaries th
weekend for two groups of people who once had
dream ? a dream of equality.
An estimated 200,000 people marched Saturda;
on the anniversary of the late Martin Luther Kir
Jr.'s march, where he delivered his famous and el<
quent "I have a dream" speech 20 years earlier.

Twenty years ago a man started the move ft
civil rights in America. More than 60 years ago,
move started to give women rights. Today, mai
people are pushing for equal rights.
While Washington was the site of tv
movements for women and blacks, the Reagan a
ministration has put on a false front for Hispani
Americans.
Reagan has gone after the Hispanic vote, claii
ing he has the Spanish-speaking population's be
interest in mind. But his administration has ask
for a 40 percent cut in bilingual vocational trainin
His administration has asked for almost a 50 p<
cent cut in migratory children's education.
How can Reagan say he intends on helping t
Spanish-speaking population of the United State
Equal rights have been hard to come by in t
past. (Jne only needs to read history to see that t
American government has been blind when
comes to human rights.
Indians were not granted the vote until af
women and blacks. Irish-Americans, Jewi:
Americans and Japanese-Americans have all h
problems with equality, but the only thing tl
separates a Jewish-American from an Americar
a hyphen.

5 Registration

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.

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

waiting to get into the coliseum floor.
I ADMIT fiUing out the pink sheet
with all my classes was simple. No problem
there. 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

t claims
Now, don't get me wrong. 1 don't
mind registration, but when 1 find
myself waiting in a line that doesn't
move for more than an hour, 1 get just
a little upset.
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.
