Computerized registration targeted for 1989
by TONY BITTICK
SjH-c-ifyiin: tiie cla-s. time, day and in.-tructor
hut tin- telephone during early rc>;i-t ration may
-eem like a dream to many students, but hv 19>i>
that dream may he a reality.
Rc^i-lrar I'.uil Schmidl -aid the addition of a
new admini-trative computer alone; with a few
adaption- will bnn^ the change about, with a
target -tailing date of summer HWf
"I wish I could say I vvas responsible fur this."
Schmidt s.ud "I wish 1 could say we really
w ut ked our tail.- of! to net this, hut it just happens
that we v ere in the ri^ht place at the ri^ht time."
Theie has been talk for Mimo time of changing
tlu- current svstenf and adding the choices of
instructor,  time and day as  well  as  class,  hut
Schmidt   said   dtiin^   these   things   hv   phono   is
something that recently developed
"There arc about 20 schools who already have
the system and. including us. then- art> altout UK)
more whu arc adding it." Schmidt i«aid.
Under the current system students choose
courses without knowing what time they are
ufl'ered or who the instructor i>. Drop add and
schedule adju.-trrient. conducted just Ix-fore and
lust alter the semester starts. Ixith attract lon^
lines each year
The University would have to pay an up-front
charge for the system, a cost Schmidt estimates
will he alxuit $t>.r>.IMM> or STO.tHK) For the first
>ear, installing telephone lines and a monthly
charge will cost roughly $20,000. he said.
