Approximately 2,300 of fall quarter's students took advantage of the new early registration process, by picking up their forms from their advisers and proceeding to the Academic Services department to have their schedules prepared. A few days later, the schedules were completed. Students picked them up and moved to the final step in the b.usiness of fice--payment. This procedure will be done every quarter. ··very few changes had to be made in the end," according to Betty Youngblood, director of Academic Service and Registrar.
