New Procedure Set for Registration Here on Friday Registration for next semester will take place on the campus to¬ morrow, as a new program is in¬ troduced to speed the signing-up process and eliminate the hours of tedious form-filling which have characterized past registra¬ tion. Under the new system, perfect¬ ed by PCC Registrar Roland W. Grinstead, upper division stu¬ dents whose last names begin with the letters A through L will register from 8 to 10 in the morning, while those whose names begin with the letters M through Z will enroll between 10 a.m. and 12 noon. With lower division students signing up in the afternoon, the schedule will be varied. For the convenience of those with after¬ noon jobs, their registration will be held from 12 o’clock on, while those without jobs will be en¬ rolled after 1 p.m. The alpha¬ betical arrangement will be drop¬ ped entirely for the lower di¬ vision registration. Foremost feature of the new system is the instigation of busi¬ ness machine methods to handle the many card reproductions which formerly harassed City Collegians. With this single fea¬ ture, it is hoped that the entire registration process can be re¬ duced to a fraction of the time once required. To further expedite matters, enrollees are urged to report dur¬ ing their assigned periods, and to spread themselves throughout the allotted time in order to avoid crowding and waiting.

With sequences taken in The Hague, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Library Features Special Display From Germany, Other Exhibits Planned Latest showing of books in the Pasadena City College Library showcase is a special collection of Vania Volkoff, former resident of Germany. According to Herman Smith, local librarian, various types of displays are continuously arranged in the two showcases of the reception room of the library. Especially impressive is the wide variety of books on numerous subjects. However, exhibits are not confined merely to books. For ex¬ ample, during the World Student Service Fund drive in November, an Indian rug together with a picture of a starving child were hung side by side in one of the cases. Oftentimes, art work is placed in the cases along with the many new books.
