Registration with
computer relieves
hassle for students
by Robin SUff
At last an effort has been made to rid much of the hassle
confronting those who find themselves somewhere in the line
at registration.
Cables were laid linking computer terminals in the Alumni
Gym to the computer center in the Powell Building in time
for spring registration. Five terminals served in place of the
one coordinating table that has proved to be a hinderance in
the registration process. One of the functions of the terminals
is instantly identifying class conflicts.
Two terminals were placed at the end of the line to
complete registration. At that point, students were officially
enrolled in classes. The updated bill was based on the
number of semester hours students took. This new process
should enable registration to be shortened and more efficient,
which is to everyone’s advantage, says Vice President James
Moncure in Interaction, a newsletter to faculty and staff.

identify those signiHcant ac-
tivites in operation that can
or should be developed to a
higher level. Suggestions for
new activities that will en
hance the fjerformance of

mitted.
These activities will be
identiHed, developed and re
fined so that they will be
ready for the proposal writ
ing in June, later to be
written into the final draft
by December, 1981.
“Celebration” services are
held every Thursday morn
ing at 9:30 a.m. in Mooney
Theater. Each Thursday
“Celebration” will begin
with a call to worship in the
form of a Litany. The
