Rosenlof Formulates Plan
In City Campus Enrollment
To eliminate the bottleneck
that has stymied past registra
tions. Dr. G. W. Rosenlof, regis
trar, has formulated a new pro
cedure which will go into effect
Monday morning.
Undergraduate city campus stu
dents, who wish to register for
the fall or summer term, must ob
tain appointment-to-register cards
from the registrar's control office
located off the ground floor lobby
of Love Memorial library on a
specified day this week. Each stu
dent will present his identifica
tion card before receiving his ap
pointment Appointment Cards.
Appointment-to-register cards
are to be issued in the following
order: March 24, those whose sur
names begin with U, V, W, X, ,Y,
or Z; March 25, F, G, H, I or J;
March 26, P, Q, R, S or T; March
27, K, L, M, N or O; and March
28, A, B, C, D or E. Dr. Rosen
lof has announced that the sur
name of students will be rotated
each semester to give equal op
portunities for early appoint
ments. As the plan has been set up,
seniors will be given salmon col
ored appointment cards; juniors,
yellow; and other students will
receive white.
Students, who will receive de-
grees in 1947 or 1948 have been
classified as seniors, and individ
uals, who plan to graduate in
1949, have been classified as
juniors. Registration forms for
this semester were used to de-
Registration
Rules for Ag
Campus Told
Registration procedures for the
1947 summer session and the fall
semester will follow a somewhat
different pattern on ag campus
from those announced for the city
campus, according to Dr. C. C.
Wiggans, chairman of the ag
registration committee.
Students registering for the
summer and fall terms will con
fer with advisors on the follow
ing dates: Junior on April 14, 15
and 16; sophomores, April 17, 18
and 19 and freshmen on April 21
to 26.
The students schedule will be
taken by the student to the Plant
Industry building, room 104, for
final checking for conflicts, closed
sections, etc. This will complete
registration so far as the student
is concerned until the announced
date for payment of fees.
A smaller number of students,
fewer complications in the sched
ule, and a more adequate numter
of advisors eliminates the neces
sity of issuing "permit to regis
ter cards. Consequently the stu
dent will need to arrange only
for the registration conference
with his or her advisor. I

first Stepev
The first step of the procedure
is for the student to- get his card
and then make an appointment
to meet his adviser. This appoint
ment should be made just prior
to the time he keeps his appoint
mnt with the assignment office.
After the adviser has signed the
form, it is to be taken to the
office of Dean C H. Oldfather for
his signature. Final arrangements
are completed in the assignment
office. The drop and ad device
that has been maintained in the
past, will be. retained.
Dr. Rosenlof reminded students
that only appointment cards are
to be issued this week. This pre
liminary step will be followed by
the. foregoing announcements
when registration begins the week
of April 14.
Because faculty staff members
are able to handle a limited num
ber of students per day, this pro
cedure will enable the registrant
to retain his appointment period
without standing in lire.
These regulations do not apply
to students on the ag campus, and
graduate students will not be re
quired to make appointments.
