New System Speeds
Registration Process
With hopes 6f eliminating the
semi-annual Registration Day
melee ol students signing into
school at the beginning of each
semester, City College Registrar
Roland W. Grinstead has an¬
nounced a completely revised
registration procedure for the
spring term.
Featuring the condensation of
the dozens of forms which stu¬
dents were formerly required to
fill out into a single foot-square
information sheet, the new sys¬
tem is built around the use of
business machines to handle most
of the duplications and other de¬
tail work.
Most revolutionary phase of
the new plan is an entirely
changed registration schedule,
which requires students to sign
into school on January 25, the
Friday preceding the beginning
of the new semester on January
28. Regular classes will begin
on the first day of the term.
Under the new plan, registra¬
tion periods are broken down in¬
to smaller categories than in the
past. Upper division students
will register in the morning,
space themselves throughout the
alloted time, to cut down on
crowding and waiting.
Deadline Set Today
For Service Point
Application Cards
Service point cards should be
turned in to Jan Carwin, com¬
missioner of records, by 4 p.m.
today.
Students who have given serv¬
ice to the school are eligible for
one service point for every three
hours of service. Cards for ser¬
vice may be obtained at any time
in 17C and then the cards should
be filled out by the students and
signed by the instructor or com¬
missioner in the service organi¬
zation. Service points are award¬
ed on the basis of the individual,
not the whole organization.
At graduation time various
honors are given to those stu¬
dents who have compiled out¬
standing service point recouds.
Employers also often check a stu¬
dent’s service record before mak¬
ing a selection for job. Various
campus organizations also re¬
quire different types of service
for entrance into their group.
