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

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.

ed and marked as such in the
time schedule.
• ‘ Registration should be ex
tended another day if necessary.” j
This, the report said, would help
prevent conflicts in priority
hours which plagued many stu
dents, especially those enrolling
in popular courses.
• “Any changes in classes or in
class times after the time sched
ule has been printed, should be
included in a handout sheet in
the registration packet.”
One student, according to the
report, complained about having
to pay to have her course list
changed when a class time was
changed after she had paid her
fees.
• “Preference should be giv
en to upperclassmen in courses
required for graduation, or in
the field of their major.”
The report listed four cases of
students who were unable to get
classes they needed for gradua
tion. 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.
