“JOHN BROWN," the third major
production of the University Theatre

Pro-registration for all Colleges
ami Schools in the University will
begin Spring Qunrter.
The trial program is being started
in an effort to alleviate some of the
confusion and trouble that occur at
Stegeman Hall at the beginning of
each new quarter.
Some of the different schools with
in the University have been gradu
ally moving into this program, but
this will be the first attempt to try
it by the University as a whole.
• « »
Although fees will not be payable
until the day of registration and
many students will still be required
to register at Stegeman, pre-sched
uling of classes is being counted on
to eliminate the usual before-school
confusion.
The larger schools in the Univer
sity will offer pre-registration oppor
tunities to their juniors and seniors,
students requiring tight schedules,
and those taking most of their
courses in that school. The smaller
schools will attempt to pre-register
the majority of their students.

Tlie exact dales for the pre
registration in each school haB been
left to the discretion of each dean.
Upon reaching a decision, they will
notify the students in their schools
of the days to meet with their ad
visors.
University Registrar Walter N.
Danner stated, “I believe that this
program will be a great help to both
students and advisors.”
