New process ensures students of classes Journalism school to offer pre-registration By Julie Freeman Of Dm EonraM Journalism students will have to start thinking about their winter term schedules a little earlier than usual this year now that the journalism school has decided to institute a pre registration program. Currently enrolled and fully admitted graduate students and undergraduate majors in the School of Journalism will be able to pre-register for winter term journalism courses Nov. 18-22 in the Turnbull Reading Room of Allen Hall, said Greg Kerber. assistant to the jour nalism dean. “We think our students have Sushi Lunch Special Dim Sum Lunch *2.25 And Try Us For Dinner CHINA BLUE Restaurant 879 E. 13th. 343-2832 Et al. MEETINGS Good, cheap food. That's the goal of the University Food Co-op, which is holding a meeting today at 4 p.m. in the -JUPBookstore^ THE POSTMAN by David Brin This is a story of a lie that became the most powerful kind of truth—of a man who became a figure of legend. It begins only a few short years from now in the dark days after a limited but devastating war, as a handful of men and women remain battling disease and hunger, fear and brutality in their struggle to survive. Gordon Krantz is one such man who, to protect himself from the cold, borrows the jacket and bag of a long-dead postal worker. In the village he travels to, he finds the old, worn uniform still has power as a symbol of hope for the return of an age now gone. David Brin will be autographing the POSTMAN Monday, November 11th, at 12:30p.m. in the General Book Department NOW IN THE BOOK DEPARTMENT Your Store Since 1920 13th & Kincaid M-F 7:30-5:30 SAT 10:00-3:00 BOOKSTORE Supplies 086-4331 been real good about waiting in lines for hours at registration." Kerber said. But he said the journalism school wants to ensure that students close to graduation get the journalism classes they need. According to recent «»n«rts from the registrar's office, there are between 950 and 1,000 students pre-majoring. major ing or doing graduate work in journalism, Kerber said. This makes it difficult for many students to get into popular journalism courses with strict enrollment limits, regardless of their class stan ding. he said. The pre-registration program, which will be conducted on an appointment basis, will also allow the journalism school to alter its course offerings if needed. "If courses fill up in pre registration, we have two mon ths to decide whether to add courses, hire qualified adjunct professors or get our own facul ty tn teach another class." Kerber said. Currently, the business school is the only other depart ment to offer a pre-registration program to its students. The school began its program two years ago for the same reasons as the journalism school and has been very pleased with its results, said Don Lytle, director of undergraduate pro grams at the business school. Lytle said the University's senior priority system is not enough to protect upperclass students from getting locket! out of classes that they need to graduate. Pre-registration at the business school, which will be handled completely by a com puter this year, is scheduled for the same dates as the journalism school’s new program. But neither program will save students from waiting in lines at McArthur Court. Students at both schools must confirm their registration in the courses they sign up for at the regularly scheduled registration time. }an. 6 and 7. "If there is no major disaster, we are committed to doing it (pre-registration) for spring and next year's fall quarter." Kerber said. Only graduate students and fully admitted majors are cur rently eligible for the business and journalism schools* pre registration process, but Kerber said he hopes to include pre majors in the journalism pro gram by next winter.
