Enrollment Hassle
From Page 1
Linda Lamb, Lawrence sophomore, claimed it was so hot she couldn't think and suggested that the Field House be air conditioned. As the day went on, the temperature rose.
Carol Nodurdruff, Prairie Village junior, put in a plea for computerized enrollment.
"We wouldn't get the best class times, but it would be worth the reduce." brother.
James Donnell, Crystal City, Mo., junior, said he thought there was an easier way to email perhaps by computer.
"But then again when you leave the Field House, you know what you've got." Other schools mail class schedules to students but he said this week.
"Besides all the rigamarole is kind of fun. It gets you in the mood for school." Donnelle added.
Teachers behind the tables had a few observations of their own, both on enrollment, and on the reactions of students.
"Every year I think there has to be a better way," said Jim Woolfe, associate professor of philosophy and religion. "A computer is really too cut and dried. There's just something about the human element in struggling for those class cards. . ."
In dealing with students throughout the day, he observed that seniors, especially, had complained that classes were closed, and that most students reacted with surprised relief when they found the class they needed was onen.
Tom O'Sullivan, instructor in English, said freshmen approaching the table for English I cards were "basisically exhausted and bewildered."
"It is mildly confusing, especially when you first sit down to relearn the routine."
Manning the class card tables can even be a little difficult, according to Bruce Adams, teaching assistant in Western Civilization.
Adams said he enjoyed working at enrollment because of the opportunity "to see so many attractive young ladies and to talk to different people."
To expedite enrollment Adams suggested pre-enrollment for all underclassmen so that the long lines would be eliminated. He commented that most freshmen were too confused and insecure to get very irate when they found classes were closed.
"Most students don't get mad at the card handlers."
As if to prove his point a freshman wandered up meekly and said, "Like a dummy I forgot to sign up for the Western Civ Comp. . . ."
