"On the third floor of Petigru, they are planning on establishing a site for registration that can take place most of the time, but when the large registration takes place, it will be over at the coliseum," said Michael Welsh, senior vice president of academic affairs. "There's been some work done, I believe. Some of the of nces ana iuncuons 01 tne Registrars umce nave been moved from the first floor to the third," he said. Until a permanent registration site for all registrations is found, moving to and from the coliseum will remain difficult. m ^ a m m m site pipe dream, i "WHEN YOU consider all of the people and all of the machinery, especially now that it's computerized, it's a big operation," said Welsh. Linda Woollen, registration records director, said, "This equipment, these terminals and these scanners were not in tended to be moved, and it's not good for them. Every time we move down there, and move back, something's broken, or the chips become overheated or bounced out of place. It's rough." Since USC is a state school, Woollen said bids must be accepted each time registration moves to the coliseum. "It's expensive, it's time consuming. When you do that, you have to let all of the equipment go two days ahead of registration, 10 oe sei up. . .so your oince is out 01 equipment for two days. When registration is over, you have to move the equipment the same night or you don't have anything to work lirector says with the next morning," she said. "IT'S DIFFICULT. That's why all these years we've been praying for a permanent registration site." Woollen complimented the coliseum staff for their cooperation in registration. She said the coliseum is a monev-makine venture, and events often clash with registration schedules particularly during basketball season. "We're going to try having November registration on the concourse as we did this summer, so that if they are having something there, we could curtain it off," she said. Despite difficulties, both Woollen and Welsh praised the efficiency of USC's OSCAR registration system. "IT'S ONE of the best registration systems in the country," said Welsh.
