If you were one of those 'lost
souls" who registered late Thursday or Friday and found classes
hard to come by, you will be
surprised if not shocked to learn
that at 6p.m. Friday 1,147classes
According to Paul McGulre,
assistant academic vice president, of the open classes, 224
were graduate courses while 678
were upper division classes and
there were openings In 245lower
division classes.
McGulre said a major problem
during registration Friday, when
many classes had closed, was that
the freshmen going through registration for the first time had not
read the catalog closely enough
to know that there were many
changes they could make In their
programs.
■When they couldn't get the
program they wanted, many of the
students registering Friday
milled around in frustration and
ended up taking any class they
could get their hands on.*
As early as late Thursday,
registration began to get tight
and lt began to get tough to get
lower division classes Friday
morning and by Friday
the situation was Impossible.
•New sections     wee openi
total of 12,711 students registered during the three-day registration period with 5,768 paying
fees the first day. Of the total
number registered, 9,593 registered for 12 or more unit, 1,470
registered for seven to 11
units and 1,658 registered for
six or'less units.
Robert Board, Fresno State
College registrar, said that
while FSC did not meet Its full
time equlvilant student budget,
late registration may bring in
the additional number of students
to meet the state requirement.
The FTE l"
of support the college receives
for each student.
Registration was slightly less
than the projected enrollment of
13,000, but 1,215 freshmen were
accepted and registered at FSC
this year. Approximately 2,300
undergraduates transferedtoFSC
from other colleges while 2,508
students registered In the graduate  piogram.
At times Wednesday and until
noon Thursday, registration was
running one and two hours behind
time.' Board said this was due to
an overload of students at the
time zones.
"The time zone system waa
engineered to handle only a certain number of people," Board
noted, 'and the tremendous number of students simply overloaded our facilities.'
FSC was the last stale college
to remain open and Dr. Warren
Blggerstaff noted that this has
caused additional registration
problems and increased enroll-
Many lower division classs
were filled by upper division students as registration wore on and
Blggerstaff noted that the amount
of lower division classes being taken by the graduate and
upper division students was
amazing.
In a study taken last year,
Blggerstaff discovered that
transfer students take an average
of nine lower division units per
semester while upper division
students carry an approximate
load of 9.3 lower division units.
Additional classes will be
opened during the week to accommodate students who did not get a
full program during registration.
Students will be able to add and
drop classes during the next
two weeks. Program change
forms • are available In the
registrar's office in the Administration Building and may be returned starting Wednesday. A
program change form must also
be completed and returned for
students wishing to take a class
on   a   pass-withdrawal     basis.

Two days of verbal, and at

It was not unusual then to witness
large groups of whites on the

were successful In preventing
large-scale fighting, but the distrust between the races remains
evident today. .
