Organized initiation, approved by the Administration, was prepared for newcomers by the senior class. At an assembly on the first day of school, Associated Student Body President Dave Jensen related the initiation rules to the sophomores and what was ex pected of them during this period.

Students Cause Computer Error Did you end up in a wrong class this year? Did your instructor mispro nounce or misspell your name? If you can answer "yes" to any of these three questions, don't blame the computers that did your registering. It's more than likely that it was your fault. Computer registration has been used at Ashland High School for four years. According to Vice-Principal Bud Silver com puter registration has cut down on the "noise, chaos, and confusion; biting and hitting" that was prevalent when students registered themselves. Computers Are Faster Computers quicken the process of registering. Computers do not go into nervous breakdowns when a student's preferences clash. But one thing computers are not responsible for is the mistakes that are made by mortals. t'nlegible registration sheets had led to a few students getting unwanted classes. Two boys, whose names were not disclosed by the office, found themselves in Girls' Physical Education. Problems Lie With Students "The big problem," cited Silver, "lies not in the computer but in the student." Silver believes that with the ever increasing use of data process ing, a student can cut down on computer mistakes by keeping two points in mind: 1 ) The student should give deep consideration to the classes that he wants. 2) The student should print legibly. So, as computers become more and more a part of our everyday lives, a state of humanized mechanized equilibrium can be reached if the student remem bers one thing: "Computers don't make the mistakes, humans do."
