THE BATTALION Uaten up
Registration
ONE OF THE FEW LINES at last Thursday’s registration for the second session of
summer school was at the table set aside for late arrivals to pick up their card packets.
Things went much smoother than last time, and few complaints were heard about the
process. (Photo by Bob Leitz)
A smooth operation
t ,•
It worked—registration wasn’t the mess it was for the first session,
and everyone left happy.
Some students finished registering in about 25 minutes, and the
lines were eliminated for all but those who chose to show up early or
late to pick up card packets.
It all went off without a hitch, and the biggest error of the day
was committed by The Battalion, in saying registration would start at 7
when it really started at 7:30. There is no excuse for the mistake, so
we’ll offer.none..j >,. r # i
The most significant thing that can be said is regardless of What
plan was used and who was responsible for making it work, the interests
of the students were foremost in the thought processes involved. This is
commendable.
The Registrar’s Office deserves special mention for going through
the physical task of setting up registration within the theoretical
guidelines given by the administration. They had the people there and
supported the method, even though their proposal had been overruled
The academic people were prompt and the attitude taken was one
of teamwork. Realizing that the part of registration which was going on
in G. Rollie White Coliseum was more complicated and time-consuming
than their clerical task, the faculty was willing to put up with a steady
flow of students to keep things from bottling up in the final stages.
Throughout the entire process of arriving at a registration plan,
we were very impressed with Dr. Haskell Monroe, Assistant Vice
President for Academic Affairs. We didn’t agree with some of his ideas
all the time, but he was extremely energetic and easy to work with.
Probably his greatest accomplishment was in controlling the
weather. We understand that when the skies darkened and the clouds
gathered overhead, Dr. Monroe looked to the heavens and things,
cleared up. He didn’t even have to raise his voice.

Editor:
We wish to take this oppor
tunity to express our vote of ap
preciation to the many “labor
ers” behind registration.
First, we think Ben Trcalek of
the Fiscal Office should be given
a medal for his work at registra
tion. He spent many hours plan
ning and replanning seating ar
rangements, number of workers,
etc., in order to make registra
tion flow more smoothly. He did
not try just to make it easier for
us, his co-workers, but also for
the staff and students as well.
As for the assessors, cashiers.
Housing Office staff, Registrar’s
staff, and many, many others, we
don’t believe they can be compli
mented enough. Everything was
done smoothly, and efficiently.
Mr. Trcalek appointed three su
pervisors, other than himself, and
these gentlemen, Tom Taylor,
Dan Williams and Jim Morgan,
could be in ten places at once
with the correct answer in all
stance even if they had to be sent
back to the mysterious Station
X. For this, we are extremely
grateful because it made our jobs
easier.
