WW, 29 Mar 2000 11:34:30 CST I student worker and have been all through college. I will be graduating in December so the end of student worker registration affect me, but it is something that should definitely remain. t 1 didn't have to work and early student worker registration was eliminated, life would be great. Z'd schedule all of my classes in the rooming and spend the rest of the day at home studying, watching my soaps, sunbathing or whatever else seemed fun that day. But 1 live in the real world and mommy and daddy don't pay for everything anymore...which I never expected them to, anyway. I have to coordinate a schedule around work. We all know how hard it is to do this even with the early registration so I can only imagine the stress I'd have without it. Early registration is a privilege given to those who definitely deserve it and is an incentive for those of us who do have work. To those who think it's not fair, guess what.everything in life is going to be unfair to someone. 1 don't think it's fair that I have to work all day and go to school and then spend all my free time studying to get the grades that I do while the person sitting next to me gets to sit at home studying all day, so of course they pull off a 4.0 and then they want to complain because I get to register a couple of days before them. If people are so upset about us getting early registration,the solution is simple...oet a lob Kirsten Anderson Class of '00 GUY ROGERS & CHAD ADAMS/The Battalion
