New drop cards: less pain for students
The new multi-add/drop card
Is larger and looks more complicated than the old, but Admissions/Records Office personnel
think the new form wUl save
students trouble in the long run.
The new forms were designed
for the new processing equipment
for the new processing equipment, said Bill Lynam, assistant    administrative    services
to Admissions/Records.
Lynam said that the signature
requirement Is to show that the
student has talked with the Instructor and has officially added
or dele(ed his or her name from
the roster, thus giving the Instructor an idea of the number
of spaces available In the class.

failure and the desire to keep
up with current technology were
the reasons for the switch.
Lynam said still another reason for the change Is because
of complaints from students who

The dorms: a lonely life over the holidays
J he halls are quiet, and the 'round-
the-clock activity that normally provides a gauge of the pulse of the place
From the outside, the buildings appear to be asleep, the drapes are closed,
and at night the lights are out—well,
most of the lights.
There are a few cars In the parking
lot. Occasionally, a bundled figure
scurries through the rain and the cold.
Yes, there are some people In the
dorms. Even though the buildings appear
abandoned, a few lights are on and some
students are living there.
Most of the students have gone home
for the semester break, back to family,
home and old friends. But for some
of the students, the dorms are their
home. Their rooms cost $2 per day,
payable In advance. But there Is no'
food, and no one to talk to. for hardly anyone Is living on the floors.
Over the break, about 100 students
lived In the dorms. During the school
year, over 1200 are living there.
Of the 100, many stayed only a couple
of nights.
ITenneth Wu, a freshman from Hong
Kong, cannot go home for the break.
Since be isn't a Christian, Christmas
is just another day. Because he Is
a foreign student, he cannot get a job.
He spent most of his break, bored.
"I do nothing," he said, "just listen
to the radio."
He said he recently got some Chinese novels and spent some of his aimless days reading them. "I get kind
of bored," be said.    "I have nothing  -
During the break, he went toafriend's
to eat.
Although Wu described his vacation in
the dorms as "boring," he did manage
to escape to San Francisco for three
days to see a visiting relative.
Freshman wrestler Don Davis spent
19 days In the dorm's during the break.
"I enjoyed having the floor to myself
and the quietness at first," he said,
adding,   "It did get a little boring at the

salad and noodles" during the break

"One* all I had left was bread," be
said. "I hid a bread sandwich-tvo

Students found different solutions to the
cooking problem. In the older taut,
there are no cooking facilities on the
floors. One students in Graves cooked

powdered soup for lunch and dnwrJH
Some students ate canned vegetables.
Probably the mosf popular meal w
oriental noodles. With the noodles, cot
could buy a "complete," flHlnj
for less.than SO cents.
There was an almost unspoken con-
raderie among students living to tbe
dorms during the break, a feeling oi
"holding down the fort" as one rat
dent put it.
But now everyone has moved la tin
the pulse has.returned to the cuapa
living facilities. There are new «©■•

on until late night. And you curt
