Improvements Asked by ASUO “Registration for the fall of 1966 seems to have been charac terized by many more serious problems than just the usual con fusion,” concludes a recently re leased ASUO report on the Uni versity's intensifying registration problems. *“ The report, written Ijy Junior Class President Scott Farleigh at the request of ASUO President Henry Drummonds and submitted to University President Arthur S. Flemming, cites specific com plaints regarding this year’s reg istration, and makes suggestions for improvement of the proce dures therein The ASUO is hoping that Flem ming will act on this recommen dation soon enough to make im provements in registration by winter term. The suggestions made in the report *re tnese: • '‘Priority periods should be kept by all departments, and pri ority regnstrations should be con sistent with the same number of students being accepted in each period.” Farleigh cited the cases of three students who failed to get cours es because priority hours were not followed in certain depart ments. and that of one girl who had still not—at the time the re port was made — completed a schedule of priority hour diffi culty. .. • ‘In larger courses, there should be two tables, to process and move students along faster. Proctors should be hired to keep lines orderly, the report contm ued. There were several instances brought to the attention of the ASUO and the Emerald of stu dents having to stand in line for as long as seven hours attempt ing to register, and then being unable to get the course they were after. . In two of the known instances, students needed the courses in order to graduate. • "The number of cards in the packet should be reduced, espe cially when there is repetitive in formation, and in the cases of the religious preference and alumni scholarship cards. • “Advisor’s signature should not be required of anyone ex cept first term freshman and for eign students.” In one case, the report said, a student was unable to get into a required class after he left the line at the table to obtain his advisor’s signature. • “All courses where instruc tor’s permission is required be fore registration should be list Committee... (Continued from patie 1) recommendation from the present committee to use as a guideline. Greek Week In other action, the committee approved a skeletal calendar of major 1966-67 activities includ ing a Greek Week. The body voted unanimously in favor of the calendar as it was tentatively set by last year s committee. The calendar includes only campus events of a major nature, and may be added to at any time with the group’s approv al. Lone addition to the tentative schedule was Greek Week, to be held February 27 through March 3. According to the Inter Frater nity Council, the events of the week will be open to the entire student body and will be of a more “intellectual orientation” than those of the past.

One irate student called the Emerald and complained about sucn a promem. • "Refunds should be given to all students who are forced to drop or change classes due to administrative errors.” There was one instance cited in the report of a group of students who were admitted to a class, then forced to change their schedules because registration clerks had errone ously admitted too many into the section. • “Departments should all make better plans for increas ing student enrollments, offer ing additional classes at addition al times. • "There should be a more orderly registration method than standing in line.” According to the report, the University biology department avoided chaos by seating students in an empty classroom and issuing them pieces of paper listing their place in line. The students were admitted in pairs and registered ; “in an organized and orderly fashion,” according to the re port. Problems in registration this year were serious enough that Dean of Faculty Harry Alpert requested all University deans to give special consideration to ad mitting students who, as a re sult of such problems, would be unreasonably prolonged in their stay at the University. | VOTE FOH JOHN L.
