xschool.texma 'v .- -u r The Cadre} January 20, 1975, page 2 Well once again we've all gone through the hassels of registration. The process, thank God, is not nearly so bad for the second semester. Yet it can still take up to five hours to simply announce that you are taking a certain_ group of courses and to pay for them. ' The university, though, has done a commendable job of cut- ting down the process primar— ily through a campaign to Victoria High Celebrations Dear Editor:, May I, through the letters column of your publication, make an appeal to all former students and staff of Victorial High School in Victorial, B.C. In 1976, Victoria ‘High School, the oldest Canadian public high school west of the _ Great Lakes, will cele— brate the 100th annive—‘ rsary of its establish- ment. A Committee has been formed to plan suitable centennial ce— lebrations, and we are now attempting to loc— ate all who attended V.H.S., either as a student or a member of ‘the staff. Celebrations will begin early in the New Year and continue thro- ugh to the end of the ‘dovo 'mocroo editorial ' A) I have students pre—register.r We haVe at any rate never gone through the real terror« which some universities have. Vanier College last fall after promising to cut down 'the wait form the five or six hours which it had formerly- been put Students into line-ups up to a half-mile long. Some were standing there for an incredible twenty—five hours. Yet even if we have done better than other universi- Many events are being planned for the Homecom— ing Weekend, May 7, 8 — and 9. A registration fee of $3.00 is to be charged for this weekend, entitling those who regerv ister to attend events at the school on May 8, and a garden party on May 9. They will also rece eive full information on other celebrations, al- though an additional ad— ; mission fee may have to be charged for some of these. _ Anyone eligible to register should write to P.O. Box 1976, Victoria, B£.,fM'flmflwrinflm— mation, or send their registration fee now, along with their name, maiden name if applicable, address, and dates of attendance at Vic. High. Former students and staff who read this are urged to register now, and help the Committee by passing on news of the Celebrations to otherS‘ they know who are eligible to take part. Thank you for your assistance. Yours very truly L.J. Wallace General Chairman.

The whole thing strikes me as one of the most useless exercises in frustration and futility at a university, exams not excepted. Possibly its pur— pose is to remind students that they are here not to learn but to get a stamp of approval from the university. If it is necessary to do this then surely they can find a way that does not put professors through hassels as well. After all, they already have their stamp of apporval, don't they ?? Why could we not simply 'at the end of the second we? ek of classes ask each prof to submit a list of the stu— dents in his course;> The registrar could then check it off to make sure that fees have been paid.

If after another month has passed payment still has not been received a note could be sent to each offhis/her profs notifying them that this student is not enrolled at UPEl. I ,.This would simultane0usly eliminate all of the hassels and/reduce the work for the registrar and business office. Since the only work required of the office is to check‘ student enrollment against fee payment, the entire_thing could be done by computer, other than of courSe appeals. It would be advantageous ‘to the student Who for, one reason or another is short of money at the beginning of the term, since fees could be paid anytime in the first two ~ weeks and with late fee cha— rges during the first month and a half. ‘ like Montreal, Ottawa, Mon— cton, Halifax, Toronto or Quebec. _ ‘g,’ ‘ As for U.P.E.I. it has a lot going for it andmyou can stick yourivaniér CdfliL“; ege,'Laval‘University,wCarf leton, ,Dalhours.i;éiandih11 y contiHued'§§g§w§ The Cadre is availe able on campus at 1' the Barn, Main, the cafeteria, Library, Cadre :office, -and Blanchard on Tues; day.
