Advise to cure registration blues
By Mary Jo Pitzl
Two officials in the Office of Registration and Records
said they have advice to save students hassles during early
registration for summer and fall semester courses.
Don Osborne, assistant director of registration and
records, said early registration begins Monday.
Students should register during the priority periods de
tailed on page three of the schedule booklet. These
periods give students the best chance of getting the
courses they want at the desired times, Tony Schkade, an
assistant director of registration and records, said.
Osborne said all early registration packets for the
summer sessions must be returned to window 5, room 208
Administration Building by March 28 for students to get
priority.
Early registration for the fall session should be submit
ted by April 18 to entitle students to free drop and add
during finals week. That way,- Schkade said, students can
tinish their fall schedules before leaving for the summer.
Complete all forms
All registration packets must include the worksheet,
course registration form (what the student's schedule is
based on), the fee card and the $25 deposit. Osborne
and Schkade urged students to make sure all the forms are
completely filled out, that they have used the correct call
numbers and that the check is not post-dated. Post-dating
prevents a check from being cashed right away and will
throw a student off his priority period.
No deposit is due for summer school registration.
Schkade and Osborne gave the following registration
advice:
When listing alternate courses, do not write in alternate
sections of the same course. Doing so will foul up the
computer and the student will wind up with no course
listed or with the same course listed twice.
Fill out a change of address form at the Administration
Building if the address listed in the records office is not
accurate.
Do not guess
If no call number is listed for a course, call the corres
ponding department for the number. Do not guess,
Schkade said.
Make sure to register for the corresponding lab, quiz or
recitation section of a class, o; risk being arbitrarily placed
in an undesirable section.
If the student is not paying the $25 deposit, he should
indicate on his fee card which agency is to be billed.
Schkade also said students with physical handicaps
should indicate this on their forms so their registration
can be processed specially.
Early registration packets for the fall session are avail
able at the Nebraska Union north desk, the East Union,
Agriculture Hall, residence halls and window 5 in the
Administration Building. Summer early registration
packets are available only from window 2 in the Adminis
tration Building and at Ag Ilall.
Schkade emphasized that the most common mistakes
stem from students not checking their registration forms.
A second look to ensure that all signatures, call numbers
and blanks are filled in is worth the hassles it will pre
vent, he said.

Stress . . .
Continued from Page 6
Eager said students seem better able to handle stress
without becoming ill than the general population, possibly
because they have to deal with a large number of 'less
stressful stresses." These include such things as a change in
recreation, social activities, living conditions, sleeping
habits, vacations, and the beginning or ending of school.
When people realize they have a lot of stress building
up, Eager said, they can try not to add more stress at that
particular time.
"Some isolated situations you may deal with very
well," she said, but it's when stresses build up that
problems have a wearing effect on bodily and mental
health, she said.
Grant said that "somehow there's a correlation
between stress and relaxation techniques."
Coping with stress is the second step after recognizing
the problem, she said. A person should list the positive
and negative ways he copes with stress and then rank
them in order of the frequency they are used.
Positive ways to relieve stress include physical exercise,
writing out or talking out your problems, cutting down on
extra activities-or starting anything else that helps such as
reading, listening to music, hobbies, cleaning or cooking.
Negative stress-relievers include sex, drugs, alcohol,
sleeping and eating just because one is under stress.
"Biofeedback is one of the things that's available at the
health center," Eager said. She explained they have
machines to measure muscle tension and hand temper
ature to determine the amount of stress on the body.
