Registration Committee Asks
Emphasis On Preregistration
By JUDY CRISHAM

Kernel Staff Writer
The Faculty-StudeRegistration Committee decided Friday
that students not taking advantage of Spring preregistration
would either register last or would
go through late registration in the
nt

faU.

Under the new registration
system, which has been proposed
by the committee and which has
been temied "an intermediate
step toward total computer registration," all sophomores, juniors, and seniors in the six undercolleges,
graduate
including
Nursing, would be preadvised
and preregistered this spring.
Then, the proposed system
would schedule all students possible in the class and section requested, select alternate sections
when these are available at the
same time, print schedules for
those students whose schedules
were complete and send these
schedules to the students through
the mail this summer. They would
also print partial schedules for the
other students and send them
with the notification that the
schedule is not complete, print
a list of courses and or sections
requested but not available, and
print a list of positions not used
for each class remaining open.
"We hopefully anticipate putting 4,000 students completely
scheduled in classes," said
Cliarles Elton, dean of the Registrar. "This is better than 40 permit."
He explained that those stu

dents whose schedules were not
completed would go through the
Coliseum in the fall and just add
the number of classes he lacked.

"This system will give us

in-

formation regarding student
for classes," lie said.
"We should be able to organize a master schedule to fulfill
the needs of the students," said
Dee Pittman, of the Registrar's
de-nu-

office.

The plan calls for only two
days of registration in the fall. It
was proposed that the Coliseum
would remain open for registration from 7 a.m. 8 p.m.
The student committee reported that they favored the grade
point system of registering.
Suggestions were made as to
Iww to provide for the community college transfers. One committee member suggested that they
comedown to register during the
summer, while another suggested
that Lexington personnel be sent
to the community colleges this
spring to orient them.
Richard Longyear, chairman
of the student advisement subcommittee, reported that after
taling with the various deans, it
was the "general sentiment that
advising conditions are adequate
for the proposed preregistration."
His subcommittee proposed
that the student In nude cognizant of the impirtance to be preadvised, the maximum number
of advisees for each adviser be 35,
the deans see that advisers are
available at particular times and

that office hours be posted. The
student is responsible for seeing
his adviser.
Fulfillment of advising duties
will be taken into consideration
in faculty evaluations, and departments' heads be the responsible basic unit for seeing that
advising is done.
Fred Strache, assistant to the
dean of men, reported that summer orientat ion for entering freshmen would begin July 6 and run
for 16 days.
"We can register comfortably
200 a day," he said.
These entering freshmen, he
said, would be advised by students.
"In effect, it will operate the
same as last summer," Mr. Strath e said, "except that it will be
five days longer."
The subcommittee
recommended tlut a study of the advising system be made by a squally appointed committee, but
said that the deans suggested that
the University oicrate under the
present preadvising system until
September, 1966.
He added that the entering
student w ill be sent various reading material, including a list of
l)oks which "will helphim begin
to think," and that a cultural
program is being planned lor

The agist rat ion committee
suggested that entering freshmen
