A REGISTER continuedfrom page 1 However, Townes isn't sure he agrees with the University's policy towards athletes. "They should have to be placed on the same ... lists with the rest of us," he said. Philosophy junior Dan Edge also agrees with the credit hours factor. "The freshmen have a broader range of classes they can take," he said. Neither Edge nor Townes believes the students necessarily need to know the registration policy, but Townes believes it might provide some students with incentive. "If you release the information, you're only going to be appealing to a small amount of people at best," he said. Edge doesn't believe the university should have to release the information, "because the people who set it up know more about running a uni versity than the students do." Bayer noted that, in a school with 15,153 undergraduates, there will be some complaints. He said there is no attempt to hide anything from the students by not releasing the policy. "It's never been out there," he said. "If a student has a problem... they can call our office." ? / \ / V A DE 5(X I _ rt _ k a r d uowntown on i^iain jt. i5toric ARCADE MALL 254-9277 5kin Care Ma55age5 ining 5kin Exfoliating lable "i#* i[w til rwirj i PUS MINISTRY I Lutherans and Methodists Wednesday 5:30 pm I, supper and program: in Minisrty!?"
