EDITORIAL
Room for improvement
Although registration doesn't have the reputation of being
the most enjoyable event of the semester we feel that some
changes could be made to streamline the procedure and make
registration less of a headache that was the case this
semester.
Long lines have always been a problem at registration
where students are. lined up almost as far as at the cafeteria
entrance. We understand that many problems of this type
cannot be feasibly solved but lines were almost the least
of the problems encountered in this spring's enrollment.
When we first looked at the schedule of classes for this
semester we noticed a slight problem: About half of the
classes we had hoped to sign up for were offered at the same
time which makes things a little complicated. We under-
stand that speed is a necessity for a student but we haven't
yet figured out how to attend three 9:00 a.m. classes all
on Monday Wednesday and Friday at the same time. We're
not quite that speedy.
Certain times of the day are more convenient for the
teacher as well as the student but all classes can't be offered
at the same time which was almost the case this semester.
As we understand the system here at H-SU teachers are
given the privilege of choosing the times they wish to offer
the classes they are to teach and it doesn't seem as if very
many teachers care to schedule any classes at 8:00 a.m.
or any time after noon.
We don't have a solution to this problem but we do feel
that there must be a better system that could be employed.
Perhaps other schools have had this problem and have found
a system which would improve our situation.
Perhaps we're a little late in pointing this out for it to
do any good this semester but we can only look forward
to a slight improvement before fall.
