STUDENT Procedures for Registration, beginning April 22, will be as follows: All students will obtain their registra­ tion cards from the Department of their concentra­ DEPARTMENT | Student receives registration card from department tion. This card will indicate time and day of regi­ stration. The student will confer with his or her advisor and complete the card listing the courses to be pursued. The exceptions to the above directions are those students who are following an indivi­ dualized program, undecided, and double majors. These students will obtain their registration cards in the Office of the Dean. All cards must be signed by their advisor. Students will proceed to Slavin 110 for formal regi­ stration. If all courses are available, the cards for each course will be pulled from the bins and checked with the student at which time he or she will leave if all is correct. Should a student desire to over-enroll in a particular course, he or she must obtain an over­ enrollment form with the proper signature from the Department in question. The student will retain the pink copy and deliver the white copy to the Office of the Registrar any time during registration and for a period extending one week later, ending May 2nd. Should the student be denied approval for over­ enrollment, any further changes to his or her schedule will be completed at the adjustment period, Sept. 4th through 10th.

S te lla Artois (Ar-twa) is part of a brewing tradition that began more than 600 years ago in the year 1366. The robust, hearty light lager taste comes from old world brewing that patiently insists that every drop is matured a full 63 days. Today in more than 50,000 bars and restaurants all across the Continent, Europe’s discriminating beer drinkers ask for the great taste of Stella Artois. Now you can, too.

So I grabbed one that had cream cheese on it and headed for the cot. I couldn’t finish it, so I put it on the cot and curled up for twenty winks.
