A Bright Idea
(Continued from Page 1)
registration period begins, This
would mean that the Financial
Aid Office line would be cut
shorter. Our students receiving
grants should do the same thing
■—see the Financial Aid Officer
in plenty of time. Students on
our College Work Study Program
should get applications in on
time, thus receiving job assign
ments when the instructors send
them in. Our faculty could play
a very important part here. Stu
dents cannot be assigned until
the instructors request them.
With the applications from the
students, and requests from in
structors, students would not
have to see the Financial Aid Of
ficer about placement for the
particular semester. This means
that students working under the
College Work Study Program
would be able to go on through
the Business Office line with the
necessary papers stating that
their earning would be done in
a certain way.
Another thing that would
speed up registration would be
just plain reading our catalogue.
There are enough copies to go
around each year when a new
group of freshmen enter. There
is no excuse for not getting one.
Each student should stick to the
catalogue he enters on; avoid this
“waiting in line to see the Regis
trar” we are now doing. Many
students want to see the Regis
trar at registration time, when
they should see her over the
summer or nearing the time of
registration. This is not good at
all. Please, let’s try to give our
Registrar a break at this time of
the year! In so doing, we will
permit students who are taking
off-campus subjects, students
who are having difficulties that
just could not have been avoided,
to see her without trouble in do
ing so. Then, too, about 250 sui-
dents lost their Registration Pc r ■
mits this time. While the Re, s •
trar was making duplicates, o t -
er important items were grii;g
lacking. This simple matter of
keeping up with a Registration
Permit could be very important
at this time of the year.
In this area of speeding up the
registration process, students
should get their monies cleared
in advance so that when they
get to the Business Office line,
the business part can go on
smoothly, with as little delay as
possible. If you are fortunate
enough to have your money
three or four days in advance,
just go on over to the Business
Office and pay it so that when
the line forms, you can just go
through. You will feel proud in
doing so. If we play our part,
students, there will be more
speed in our registration process.
Our faculty has a very im
portant part to play. If many in
structors would be where stu
dents could find them, where the
students could get signatures,
advice, counseling, conditions
would be better also. Many stu
dents go to the Registrar when
they really should be taking
their problems to their Advisors.
When our faculty instructors
clarify points for us, with our in
terest at heart, we need not see
the minor adjustments that can
Spotlighting on
Homecoming
(Continued from Page 3)
During the night and early
morning, many students could be
found hard at work on their
various floats and cars. The time
finally rolled around and it was
at last Homecoming Day. This
served as a very important and
exciting day for most of us. The
parade passed through the
streets of the A. U. center dis
playing beauty, talent and a lot
of school spirit. This year’s par
ade was one of the most beauti-
be made with help from them
in our schedules. This, again,
takes from the line waning to
see the Registrar. Our Advisors
know the rules and guide lines
we must adhere to. Let’s give
them the chance to put them in
to action. When the Dean ap
proves our schedule, we can al
most rest assured that our sched
ule is as should be.
What we are emphasizing here
is that if we help ourselves, then
our Administration, faculty and
staff will help us. Let us resolve
that next semester will not catch
us with problems that have been
solved before the Christmas
Holidays or the reading period
for exams. Let us resolve that
we will follow our catalogue in
selecting class courses. Let us
resolve that we will do every
thing we can to speed up regis
tration next semester. If we do
these things, our faculty and
staff surely will resolve to give
us their full, sincere and con
cerned co-operation.
ful, exciting and educational
parades ever held by Morris
Brown College. The high school
bands, honor guards and all ot-
hernon-Brownites played a very
important part in our parade.
The Queens, all dressed in
their individual outfits, well rep
resented each organization and
title held. The freshmen their
queens in green and gold with
the other members of the class
dressed in similar colors at the
game and cheering our team on
to victoiy. Tile Sophomore Court
should be commended on their
very unique idea of not two but
three cars, each carrying a queen
during the parade. The Juniors
went all out this year in being-
represented by not only three
queens but a lioat titled, “Gone
With the Wind” which won First
Prize. The Senitr class was also
well represented with their Miss
Senior and there’s no doubt
about it as to the beauty that
Miss Morris Brown and her at
tendants showed during the pa
rade. After this most memorable
and exciting parade everyone
journeyed to the game with kick
off time at 2:00 P. M. Our foot
ball team with the help of
our cheering cheerleaders, our
marching band, our energetic
majorettes, our spirited student
body, and our cheering section of
queens and escorts really carried
our team on to victory with a
score of 22 — 0, leaving Allen
University ready for the burial.
After an exciting day at the
parade and game our activities
were concluded by a Homecom
ing dance featuring Bill Odum’s
band. The members of the stu
dent body as well as various o-
ther friends were all very ex
cited as thay carried the feelings
of our victory in their hearts.
The dance ended with an old
favorite, “Good night Sweet
heart,” with each of us passing
the remaining moments of the
night away by recalling the fun
and togetherness we had taken
part in during the most enjoy
able Homecoming ever.
