Tally cards to be used
By MONETTA L. RICHEY
Ass't. Ed. - Academics
Registration problems maybe
partially solved for this spring
semester 1971 wife preference
tally cards. These cards will be
mailed in fee very near future
to all students registered wife
Central, according to George N.
Lauer, Registrar.
Each student should be. considering which classes he plans
to enroll in this next semester.
Then, when he receives a preference tally card, each of these
classes will be entered on the
card. They will then be sent
back to the Registrar's Office.
The Registrar's Office will
then send fee card through a
computer to determine how many
students will be taking which
classes.
The results of the preference
tally cards will be given to each
department chairman, explained
Lauer. This way for instance,
fee health education department
will know how many students are
planning to register for Health
Education 106 and can be prepared for this number.
This should alleviate fee complaints of students who register
on fee last day and say that
classes are closed and there is
nothing open that they can take.
"It is very important that we
get fee cooperation of each student to make these preference
tally cards a success," added
Lauer.
The Registrar's Office is hopefully expecting a return of 75
percent of the preference tally
cards.
Wrong number?

Homecoming plans continue
By NANCY LEROY
LIFE Staff Writer
Despite some bureaucratic
bumbling there will be a homecoming this year. Somehow,
CMU administrators forgot to
allocate funds for this year's
annual extravaganza.
Homecoming is an important
part of the student activities,
said Karl Metzgar, director of
student affairs. He says funds
WOULD be available for homecoming.
"Through student endeavors
fee money will be allocated,"
Metzger continues. "Homecoming is a self-liquidating event, in
other words, it pays for itself."
Robert E. Buchanan, Birmingham senior, president of Phi Sigma Epsiion fraternity, has initiated a drive to raise the funds
saying in a letter to Life, "I
♦think the time has come when the
students of Central can take upon
themselves, and illustrate to the
administrators, faculty and community feat we are not second
rate students and that we can do
constructive things for all concerned.''
Phi Sigma Epsilon little sisters
will be canvassing fee dormitories and apartment buildings
for homecoming donations.
Donations can be made in the
form of a check if made out to
Central Michigan University and
ear marked "Homecoming."
