Students to register by computer for spring B y Bill H u n t e r Editor-in-Chief Hearing the word "registration" brings a shiver to the spine of most students, but with a new system being installed this fall students can ^eadi a sigh of relief. The system, developed by Vice President of Academic Affairs Ronald Woodbury and Associate Dean of Academic Administration James Smalley, is expected to process students' schedules before Christmas. "The new system is a trade-off. There are some good points and some bad points," said Woodbury. One good point is diat students wUI be using a famUiar document to select courses for the spring - the drop/add sheet. Using the add section, students will choose courses and list them by priority from left to right on die form. In the lower half (drop area) students will list an altemate course below the one chosen. An altemate course cannot be a duplication of any already listed. Courses identified by students as alternatives may be scheduled by the computer if a priority course is not available. account has been cleared by the Revenue and SCC offices. "We hope to get nearly 1000 students with an acceptable pre-schedule. I'll consider that successful," said Woodbury. There will be a drop/add period before die beginning of next semester, but only a few students will be pomitted to make changes. Students not receiving a full schedule of classes and second semester seniors (110 or more credits eamed), as well as students with highly unusual circumstances (a change in major, failed courses, etc.) may be permitted to make limited schedule This selection process is to be planned by students and their advisors between Oct. 19 and Nov. 3. Step two is the production of a master schedule. To be completed by the department chairpersons, the master schedule will make every attempt to match student requests as closely as possible. Vice P r e s i d e n t of A c a d e m i c Affairs R o n a l d W o o d b u r y Priority for classes, as in the past, will be given in a descending order beginning widl the seniors. Upon completion of the master schedule, copies wUl be available at the bookstore and from department chairs and deans at no expense. Step three of the new registration is the mailing or picking up of schedules before Christmas break, provided the student's Lifestyle and people of Japan to be focus of lecture series By Heidi W e a v e r StcffReporter "If you really want to know your own society, you must know others," said Dr. Edward Greb, a sociologist from Washington and Jefferson College, who will be presenting a discussion on "Japan '87" tonight. The lecture and slide presentation on contemporary Japan will be held at 7:30 p.m. in Ulmer Planetarium. Greb said that in his lecture he wants "to show the tie between the past and present in general terms and to show that change in Japan must take into account the tenacity of tradition." He also said he hopes to clear up some misconceptions Americans hold about the Japanese. Although Americans seem to be believe that a cultural revolution has occurred in Japan, Greb said, "I don't think there is as much change as we might think." "Students who are interested in participating in the Japanese exchange program are especially encouraged to attend," said Dr. Judy Brink, professor of sociology and andiropology at LHU. A scholar on contemporary Japan, Greb is being hosted by the sociology department and is visting the University from Oct. 12-14. He has been giving a series of lectures and slide show presentations. On Monday evening, students were invited to meet Grel? at a coffeehouse in Parson's Union Building where he showed Continued on pg. 4 A s s o c i a t e D e a n of A c a d e m i c Administration J a m e s Smalley changes. • Changes for the sake of convenience or personal preference, however, will be difficult, if not impossible to accomplish according to Woodbury. "The student who needs to change an 8 a.m. class because he can't get up that early is out of luck," said Woodbury. "Also, die choice of professors may now be impossible." According to Smalley, "A small numbo' of students (even seniors) will not get all the choices they want. We know we will not create a perfect system." When asked what will haiq)en if the new system fails, Woodbury said, "It is a process of change. It may take time to get it to work." Students and professors, however, don't appear to be as endiusiastic. "I like registration ahead of time, but I don't like them choosing my professors for me. Either by reputation or advice from upperclassmen, there are just some professors that I would not like to have," said junior Keidi Wedierhold. According to junior Sue Tumer, "I have to work, and if I can't schedule my classes when I want, it may be a problem." Professor Larry Lebin summed up die teachers'opinion by saying, "Anydiing will improve the mess diat registration is. But, we need to hire more general education teachers or diere will be classes of 50, 75 or 100 students."
