Would a Computer Work at Chowan?
Opinions of Campbell Students On
New Computerized Registration System
By AMY ATKINSON
Campbell College Student
Campbell College students
have mixed emotions over the
new method of computer
registration as opposed to the old
method.
Creek Pebbles recently con
ducted a survey of 95 Campbell
College students ranging from
freshmen to senior classifications
who expressed their own reac
tions to the new computerized
system of registration.
The survey reveals that a
majority prefer the computer
method. Surprisingly enou^, in
this recent survey, 70 males
responded to the registration
questionnaire put out by the
Creek Pebbles, while only 25
females responded.
Creek Pebbles received more
responses from senior class
members than any other
classifications. Some of the
senior responses were as follows:
William Bowen 111 said that he
preferred the computerized
method over the previous method
because the new method was
faster. He also stated, “The
courses I asked for and the times
1 asked for them were just as I

but a different room from the one

cluded in the above categories. If

had planned them. Some of the
problems I saw were where the
student failed to make contact
with his advisor and sit down and
plan his time. Some of the other
problems were caused by
students not pre-paying so that
their classes and program sheets
were held up, even though the
lines were not as long as previous
semesters.”
In voicing her opinion and
ideas, Jane Mauldin said, “I
personally prefer to set up my
own schedule, courses and
teachers rather than having a
computer do it. Sometimes a
person can do things better than a
computer, and I think this is one
of those times.”
Another senior, James G.
Pulley stated that there was an
incredible difference in the time
required to register. He added
that prepayment of fees prevents
having to have your credit
searched in the registration line.
Barry Whitaker said that he did
not prefer the new registration
method because too many
mistakes are made. “Many
people have to work so they need
to set up a schedule so they can
work. I would rather set up my
own schedule because I have my
own favorite professors which I
feel I learn more under. I have
feelings that a computer doesn’t.
I would rather express my own
than have a computer doit,”
Barry stressed.
Another senior, Orlando
Riveria commented, “There was
some turmoil as to whether or not
a student could drop chapel. A list
of students which need to take
chapel would make this aspect of
registration a little easier on the
registrar’s office. Also a stan
dard form could be adopted so
that the advisor could indicate
what course was to be added or
dropped and the registrar’s office
wouldn’t have to decipher the
contents of the notes during drop-
add. Some teachers write like
doctors and reading their hand
writing is almost impossible.”
Lil Smith said, “I was also one
of the studious ones who
prepayed during the Christmas
holidays. Unfortunately, when I
attended classes, my name was
not on any roll.”
Another senior, Maurine Potts,
voiced her opinion of registration
because she did not have a long
wait in the registration line.
Jimmy Hobbs said that one of
his problems with registration
being computerized was that the
computer gave him too many
alternate courses and not the
ones that he wanted to take. He
stated that some priority should
be given to the higher classes.
These are only some of the
comments revealing the varied
attitudes of Campbell students,
there were many, many more.
In my opinion the new way of
Registering is very impersonal
and could result in unnecessary
mistakes, I believe the student
should be allowed to select the
professor in all cases. Humans
are tending to pull away from an
important factor that should be
included in all learning, that
factor being personal. Students
need more Individual attention.
One cares more if he knows that
others care.
