Coliseum remain "pipe dreams," but work is beginning at
Petigru on a facility capable of handling small registrations,
such as freshman orientation, as well as year-round registration
as it already exists.
"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.

"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

"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.
