This is one of several possibili ties being studied for remedying future tie-ups similar to the one which occurred in Recreation Hall during fall registration last week, C. 0. Williams, College reg istrar, has announced. Under the proposed plan, all students would register alphabet ically regardless of semes t e r standing. This method was con sidered when centralized registra tion began in Rec Hall last fall, he said. However, the present registra tion method was adopted on the assumption that it might be nec essary for a senior to schedule a course which might otherwise be closed in order to graduate, Wil liams said. The present system gives seniors preference in course selection, he said. Rotation of the alphabetical listings of all students during a four year period is included in the present set-up, he said. Only four cases of discipline for illegal registration have been handled by the College so far, Williams reported. The trend away from the 27 cases handled last fall is a good sign, he said. Students are to be commended for their coperation, Williams ad ded. Three of the four students who tried to register out of sequence were placed on office probation, and were required to register yes terday and pay, the $lO late reg istration fee, Dean of Men Frank J. Simes reported. Office proba tion, he said, is a warning that any further difficulty would re sult in more serious disciplinary Action to the students involved.
