The new policy was needed to "help curtaU frivolous drop-adds,” says Dean Chris White. Details of the policy are that students may drop and add classes, with advisory • approval, through the last day of late registration for each semester. While classes may be dropped at any time without a fee, SIO is now required for each class added after the term begins. The add fee, which may be waived by the dean of academic affairs or registrar, does not apply to special evening and Saturday classes with delayed starting dates. New Spring semester will begin officially with registration on Tuesday, Jan. 29, followed by drop-add day and evening classes on Jan. 30. Day classes will begin on Jan. 31, with Feb. 5 the last day for late registration or to drop or add a course. Twenty-eight new or spe cial courses enliven the sche dule for early 1980.
