Registration is right around the corner and this semester there is something NEW: a new telephone registration system. Before you call (568-3570) here is what to expect: • A new voice and this time it's a woman • A menu driven system - this woman tells you your choices • A new PIN number - this is the important part so listen up. When you call in your first PIN number will be your birth MONTH and birth YEAR. Example: my birthday is July 24,1979 and my first PIN number is 0779. The system will then ask you to enter and verify a NEW four digit PIN number. Make your PIN number easy to remem- ber- you will need it anytime you want to access the system.

Republican continued from page 23 to gauge. However, one senses the rigors of campaigning are taking their toll — that as election day nears, Sparrow may be beginning to take the defeat personally. Election day comes and, as we know, both Sparrow and Dole fall short of their dream — Bill Clinton is elected president. This event inspires one of Sparrow's more intriguing diary entries: "Bill Clinton speaks this Enlightenment lingo. We must build a 'Bridge to the 21st Century,' he says ... Dole, on the other hand, has actually administered the government for 36 years. He knows how our nation's government really works. The corporations put money in the slot, and out comes the legislation. The government is like a soda machine. Every nuance and phrase of Dole's campaign says, 'C'mon, get real! The I 'residency is just a job. The best I can do is give you some of your tax money back. There is no Vision. We don't need Vision. It's a soda machine."
