Free drop-add begins Monday
Spring semester preregistration totals drop
By Lorna Bradley
The number of students preregistering for second
semester classes is down by 278 from totals for last
semester, according to Ted Pfeifer, director of registration
and records.
Pfeifer said 17,721 students have preregistered for
spring classes compared with 17,999 this fall. He said the
fluctuation in numbers is normal and occurs each year.
Pfeifer said fall semester enrollment is always larger
than spring semester, and that the 17,999 students that
preregistered for the current semester was an all-time high.
General registration, which is scheduled Jan. 8-9 and
until noon Jan. 10, will bring in approximately 3,000
more students than the fall general registration, Pfeifer
said.
Cost for general registration is $25, the same as for pre
registration, Pfeifer said.

Of those 3,000 students that go through general
registration, some have registration blocks or holds,
Pfeifer said.
A registration block makes it impossible for the stu
dent to register because of unpaid bills from agencies such
as the University Health Center or housing, Pfeifer said.
Night-class registration presently is being held for stu
dents under the Division of Continuing Studies in Nebra
ska Hall, Pfeifer said.
Pfeifer said approximately 1,000 to 1 ,500 students will
register for night classes, and approximately 500 graduate
students also will register for classes.
By combining the number of students that go through
the three different kinds of registration, the total enroll
ment is determined, Pfeifer said.
This total, however, is not definite because some stu
dents drop out of school after they register, he added.
Approximately 7.500 students are expected to go
through free drop-add. which is held during finals week
from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, except for Friday when
drop-add closes at 4:30 p.m.. Pfeifer said.
Pfeifer said the first two days of free drop-add will be
reserved for students who have incomplete schedules
The remaining days will be open
adds, he said.
or time changes and
Before a student goes through free drop-add, he or she
must get a time appointment card in Ferguson Hall if
drop-add is crowded.
Because drop-add is the busiest time of the year,
Pfeifer said, he recommends that students bring a list of
possible call numbers.
A list of closed courses will be posted in the Nebraska
Union and in the basement of the administration building
Friday and in Ferguson Hall on Monday, he said.
Signatures to get into a course are not needed, Pfeifer
said, unless a student wants to get into a closed course.
Regular drop-add will begin the second day of classes
next semester and will cost 55. Pfeifer said.
Pfeifer said not having drop-add on the first day of
classes began as an experiment second semester last year.
Consequently, the number of drop and adds and the work
load of academic departments has decreased. Pfeifer said
said.
Because the delay has proved beneficial, it has become
a permanent procedure, he said.
Grades for this semester will be mailed to the student's
permanent home address on Jan. 7. and for those who
lose their class schedule, an updated schedule can be
obtained Jan. 6. Pfeifer said.

Although the new security system will save the library
and the city the time and cost of replacing stolen books.
Connors said there is a psychological disadvantage of in
stalling such a system. Connor said the security system
creates a "barrier" between the public and the library.
"Patrons do not like to cross a special magnetic field."
Connor explained.
Light branches and one bookmobile comprise the Lin
coln library system, but the city at this point has no plans
to install another system, Connor said.
The Bennett Martin detection system will be studied
to measure its effectiveness. If it is successful, the library
will be able to buy more books, which will directly increase
the effectiveness of the library with citizens.
Connor said losses arc greatest for books in heaviest
demand: newer materials, "standard" works and those
that are out of print.
