Dear Editor, I feel the registration process is intolerable, and needs to be drastically improved. Due to gross administrative inefficiency, registration is unnecessarily cumbersom. In particular, students must contend with absurdly long lines as they attempt to confirm “pre”- registration. Subsequently, they are unfairly assessed late- registration fees, and in many cases, miss course lectures and assignments. Furthermore, it is redundant for students to “pre”- register, and then return to confirm pre-registration. In­ stead, students should have to only complete pre-registration.

Common A best-seller in 1776 was Sense Tom Paine's "Common Sense." Maybe someone should do a 1985 update. You have many decisions to make every day. Just weigh your answer against the simple question, "Does it make good, common sense?" If it does, do it. If it doesn't, don't. Common sense says, don't smoke when you're filling your gas tank. Don't run through red lights. Don't overeat. Don't spend more than you make. Common sense is sometimes called horse sense. For good reason.
