      The

      and
     
     
      roughly
      $5,000
      per

      The
      large
      investment
     
     
      has
      students
      wondering
      if
      the
     
     
      new
      system
      is
      worth
      it.
      Most
     
     
      students
      on
      campus
      seem
      quite
     
     
      pleased
      with
      registration
      going
     
     
      on-line,
      but
      many
      still
      have
     
     
      doubts.
     
    

    
     
      “I
      don’t
      really
      trust
      it,”
     
     
      says
      Richard
      Haines,
      an
      edu-
     
     
      cation
      student.
      “The
      comput-
     
     
      ers
      on
      campus
      aren't
      really
     
     
      reliable
      enough
      as
      it
      is.
      I
      can’t
     
     
      trust
      registering
      ona
      computer
     
     
      that
      will
      crash
      in
      afew
      minutes
     
     
      anyway.”
     
    

    
     
      The
      question
      of
      how
      stu-
     
     
      dents
      will
      feel
      about
      having

      courses,
      majors,

      the
      Internet
      has
      also
      been
     
     
      raised.
      Granted,
      there
      will
      be
     
     
      codes
      blocking
      easy
      access
      to

      but
      students
      may
