Happy Holidays Preresistration Classes fill at fast pace By Wendy Watson Staff Writer The month of November not only brings Thanksgiving and turkey, but it also brings pre- registration for the winter term and the spring semester. For most students this brings the agony of getting out of bed at the crack of dawn and going over to Alamance to stand in a line that seems to go on forever. Most students survive and have very little difficulty getting the classes they want. But this year has been somewhat different. Preregistration is done according to class rank and is alphabetized within the rank. This means seniors go first and freshman last. The difference in this year’s preregistration was the diffi culty some people had in get ting classes and the “incredi ble rate at which classes filled up.” For seniors and juniors, the problem area was the 300-400 level courses in business, com munications and psychology. Sophomores and freshman ex perienced the usual frustra tions of being the last preregis ter, Albertson said. Psychology was the greatest problem, according to Mark Albertson. The registrar, said the reason for the problem is the new student interest in the subject. Albertson said, “There has been more demand in the area, and it closed out sooner than it See Preregistration, page 6 The Pendulum Thursday, December 6,1984 Volume XI, Number 13 by Steven Pearce The Night Light Above, from left to right, David Bobitt, Allen Smith and Paul Holt _ decorated the trees at Fonville fountain to create the light show Oj hi Ion below. fit Photo by Jamie Cobb 2 charged in X-mas vandalism By Sue Hoggard Staff Writer Between 3 and 4 o’clock in the morining of Nov. 28, van dals caused approximately $700 damage when they apparently dragged two Christ mas trees and five lamp posts into the Fonville Fountain, according to Larry McCauley, physical plant director of Elon College. Although the damage was not as severe as initially thought, McCauley said he could not be sure how much actual damage was done until everything has been repaired. The two trees were wrapped at the time of the incident thus making it easier for the vandals to maneuver them, McCauley said. He explained that it took a group of men to pull the trees from the fountain and that those who put them in there had apparently dragged them in the cloth wrapping. Howev er, the trees were water dren ched when retrieved the next day, making it a more difficult task. McCauley said the lamp posts were also thrown into the fountain after being pulled out of the ground. “I’m surprised somebody didn’t get hurt,” he said. Live wires protruded from the ground after the posts were up-rooted and that is a dangerous situation, ex plained McCauley. Damage to pipes in the foun tain was also reported, See Vandalism, page 7 This is ouf last issue of the yeof.
