By Lori Corso and Todd McGee staff reporters Final enrollment figures for fall quarter, 1991, haven't been tallied yet, but an estimated 10,000 students have completed a registration process which went smoothly for some and harried for others. "Actually, this is the best quarter I've been involved," said Cheryl Gibson, registrar staff. "Rather than three and a half days, we had four days to complete registration. We were able to streamline and smooth it (registration) out" After the computers went down last Friday during add/drop, the deadline for registration and fees was extended another day. "I don't think there was aline (at registration). I snuck in," said junior, Kirk Henry who is undecided about his major. "It was hell getting my classes though, but that's just kind of the way it goes." "We were desperately in need of additional help," said Gibson. "We hired students to run the terminals. They got a new perspective of what it was like to be behind the teirninal...I think they did an excellent job." This was the first quarter the registrar hired students to help behind the terminals at registration. Because of the success, students are being considered to help with future registrations. Jerry Reller, a senior business administration major with a concentration in finance, was one of the students who worked for the registrar this quarter. "It was hard to tell people that they couldn't have aclass they wanted — that the class was full — because I've had mat happen to me before," Reller said. "It was hard work. I was pretty exhausted when the day was over... The understanding I got from the other terminal operators was that this was one of the smoothest registrations," added Reller. Despite an apparently smooth registration, many students remained frustrated. Meredith Smith, a junior Fairhaven student, felt "rushed." "There's not much time to go seekoutprofessors,getblueslips...do all that kind of stuff before your registration time," said Smith. "During registration itself, they always seemed an hour behind. People were in line saying,'God, mis happenedlastyear.' "We found we were trying to teach more and more students with less and less faculty. Western has always been under funded compared to other state-funded universities," Acting Registrar Joe St. Hilaire said. Rising student to faculty ratio, increased demand for classes and budget cuts have made the task of accommodating more students increasingly difficult, St. Hilaire said. "It's a game you play to keep all the numbers on an even keel, not to mention all the political implications that factor in." Lyle Grouse, a senior majoring in journalism, transfered to Western this fall. He believes Western treats community college transfers well. "They had a special orientation for us," Crouse said. "I feel kind of special transfering with my community college degree. At Western, the two-year degree means everything to them. It really freed me up to pursue my degree and get out of school." However, Crouse agrees with many students concerning the "archaic" registration system at Western. Before transfering to Western, Crouse attended the University of Oregon where registration is conducted by phone. "Students received a card from the school telling them when to call. Registration took about 10 minutes. Registration continued on page 2 Pizza delivery car rolls down hill, crashes into Gamma By Chong Kim staff reporter Domino's pizza delivery took on a whole new look early last Saturday when one of its delivery cars was pushed down a hill and into a Ridgeway residence hall. Domino's driver Pat Ferguson delivered a pizza to the Gamma residence hall, then came back to discover his car had hit stack nine of the Ridgeway complex. According to the incident report made by campus police, the vehicle was parked on the south side of College Parkway facing east, when the driver returned he had found his car had hit the residence hall. The car hit approximately a foot to the leftof the window of room912. No damage was reported due to the impact. At the time of the accident, Claudine Jeuris and Rachel Bradford, who occupy the room, were both sleeping. Jeuris said she thought the crash sound came from someone upstairs throwing something out the window. Bradford said the crash sounded like a door slamming. The two women did not feel the impact. Instead, they were awakened by the crowd that gathered in front of their window. photo courtesy of Rachel Bradford Claudine Jeuris glances at the crowd outside her window who gathered to see the smashed delivery car.
