approximately 10,000 students.
He said, “We are able to regis

He pointed out that the IBM

Time-Saving Plan
Mr. Danner said that the
University was working out a
plan whereby less time would
be taken up by the students
waiting to get into Stegeman
Hall to register.
He said, “We are planning
to send the students’ numbers
with their grades and when
come to register, times will be
minutes apart. This way a stu

minutes or so when he could
get in to register. This would
gave a lot of wasted time.”
As it is now, people sneak
in line and get ahead of those
who have been waiting for
sometimes as long as three
hours.
