RULING Under New System, Period Is to Last From December 9 14, Thus Avoiding Long Waiting Line. Fees Not Necessarily to Be Paid Till Beginning of the Next Term. Registration for next term will begin *>n the University of Oregon campus Monday, December 0, and will positively close on Saturday, December 14, accord ing to word sent out from the adminis tration offices today. Under the new ar rangement however, the fees of regis tration need not be paid until the open ing day of the second term, Wednesday, January 2, 1918. “Every student except those who know absolutely that they will not return for the second term must have his schedule card made out and filed at the registrar’s office before he leaves for the holidays,’’ said Dr. A. E. Caswell, of the physics department, who is head of the commit tee which organized the new registra tion rules. Fine of $2 for Lateness. “It doesn’t make any difference if the student makes out his card and then fails to return to college,” said Dr. Cas well. “but it does make a difference if he fails to register and does not return the second term. A fine of two dollars will be imposed on any late registrants for next term, who are in the University this term.” Under the new system, according to Dr. Caswell, registration will bo great ly simplified, since the week’s time will do away with the long wait in line at the registrar’s offices on the one day of second term registration. The assembly hour of next week will probably be given over to conferences between students who have not already registered and their maior professors, with the object of making appointments with the individual students for making out their cards. To Take Only Few Minutes. “Students may register any time they wish,” said Dr. Caswell, “although the registration machinery is not really in operation as yet. But the system is so much easier and shorter than the old way that the whole thing may be accom plished in ten minutes consultation with the major professor. Registration day of the second term will be given over to the registration of the new students and will be the final time for the payment of fees for those who register this term.
