Registration All systems go smoothly as students pick classes By Marisa Porto Registration for fall and summer sessions is running smoothly despite student errors, a registration official said. "With the number of people coming in and the difference in the set up, things have been running faster and more efficiently," Linda Woollen, Director of Registration, said. "Not enough students have shown up as of yet. The people who had their appointments the first few days, the graduate students and the seniors, have not shown for their appointments. So I am afraid that it will be bad on Monday and Tuesday," Woollen said. ACCORDING TO Woollen, the main problem with registration inis year is inai siuuenis are noi reauing ineir manuals. "Summer school students don't know how to pay their fees. There is a set of entry times and fee instructions in the manual. For the fall, the students receive a bill in the mail, but for summer 1 and 2 they must go at the times in the manual, according to their social security numbers. Students just arc not paying attention to that," Woollen said. The summer manual is very important not only for classes but also for other information, Woollen said. we had a quesuonaire out tor students, and we had very few negative comments. Most people have said that registration is too easy, but most have also said that they learn the process by trial and error. "A TREMENDOUS effort goes into putting the manuals out. I had one graduate student tell me that he did not have to read the manual, because he did not have to take the other classes listed. More than one third of the manual is information such as the exam schedule, and fee payment schedule. These are things that students really need," Woollen said. According to Woollen, the underclassmen are better at registration procedures because they read the manual. "They want to do it right. It's very amusing to me. Last year, when we had summer orientation for the freshmen, they did so much better. We have had fewer problems this time than ever before. We set up afternoon appointments so that the students would not have to cut their classes. It is harder on us, but it keeps the instuctors happy," Woollen said. USC has one of the best registration procedures in the country, Woollen said. "I HAVE a guest university coming in on Monday to check out our scanners and to see if they want to get the same system. If God would just get me a permanant registration site, I will be happy," Woollen said. According to Woollen, the computer show in the Coliseum has caused problems for the registration staff. "I would give anything for a permanant registration site." We have to move things all the time, and everytime we move, things get broken. Registration is now a year-round thing. Before I leave here, I want to see a permanant registration site. There are a lot of problems with using the Coliseum, it's just as inconvenient for them as it is for us," Woollen said. Summer school will be the biggest yet, according to Woollen. tYAMRREAl B Naci in1 jUSt $1.50 S<a? ^ April 30 - May 8 Open til Midnight May 1,2,3 gpj B i EmsSeakS ERSEXAMBI kEXAMBREA lAMBREAKE ERSEXAMBI i :-:- ~~^z---^^r ^iSSram^^lML ' '"' v^fii" DHBH^RK ^mB^^g^qcg^. c**S$al??
