Computer speeds dropadd,
but process still is tedious
By 8:27 am. Tuesday, 282
-students had passed through
the doors of the Nebraska
Union's Centennial Room to
process a first-day dropadd.
Although dropadd lines will
be long at times, this semes
ter's dropadd appears to be
running smoothly.
There weren't as many prob
lems as usual " Dorothy Griess,
a registration ofScestallmember,
said.
The university's computer
dropadd system has been used
now for about 18 months. Bob
Reid, associate director of reg
istrations and records, said the
new system has many benefits.
The computer provides greater
accuracy of records, students
can verify their courses with a
copy of their new schedule
and, most importantly, it saves
time.
"It seems to go pretty quick
once you get in there," Doug
Timmerman, a senior business
major, said. "But it still is a
hassle."
"I don't like it at all. It takes
too long with the computers
it's easier to screw up,"
Noreen Kubik, a senior elem
entary education major, said.
"I like it better the other way."
While waiting in line can be
tedious, the process moves
quickly, serving 1,800 time card
appointments per day.
"The whole system i3 geared
to first come, first serve," Tony
Schkad, assistant director of
registration and records, said.
"That's the name of the game."
Students who pre-register
the previous semester usually
get the classes they want,
Schkad said.

Yes, there are differences.
And we think you should

Probably not. But when
you lease your telephone
from AT&T this fall, you
won't pay any lease charges
next summer. You can use
your phone at home, and bring
it back to school in the fall.

Hardly. While we have no
hard data on the exact cost of
leasing a chicken, we can tell you
with some certainty that the cost
of leasing a telephone this fall is
far less than you might think.
The decision to lease a chicken
or a telephone, of course, rests with
you. But should you opt for the tele
phone, remember: you get three months
free next summer, and you can take the
phone home with you. There's a choice of

It doesn't cost much either. And
that's something to crow about.
