Sign lor Coming Year's Courses:
Registration Forms Out Next Week
By LYN MARTIN
The spring registration period
for students who plan to return
to the University next year will
begin next week, University Reg-
istrar M. V. McEnanny told the
Thresher. Course lists will be
completed and registration forms
distributed within the next two
weeks, he said.
A complete list of courses to
be offered next year should be
posted before the end of the
week, McEnanny said.
Current juniors and seniors
will receive their registration
forms April 27. The forms are to
be returned by May 7. Sopho-
mores will receive their forms
May 1 and should return them by
May 9. Forms will be sent to
freshmen on May (5 and are due
on May 14.
WITH THE registration forms
each student will receive a list
of the requirements for his par-
ticular course of study and a
copy of his transcript.
"We don't recommend that the
student use the catalogue in
registering," McEnany said, "be-
cause it is usually not as accu-
rate as the mimeographed course
list. For a description of a given
course students should talk to
the instructor or the department.
This is the chief advantage of
spring registration."
McEXANY also mentioned that
there were more students this
year taking extra courses than
there have ever been before. "We
like the idea of encouraging a
student to do extra work, but I
have no way of knowing whether
or not it's an overload for him."

"Anyone Who is taking an ex-
tra course should be careful about
taking it too long," McEnany con-
tinued. "When he finds out he's
doing too much, he should drop
/the course before mid-semester."
THE REGISTRAR also advis-
ed that students return their reg-
istration forms by the date when
they are due, although there is
no late fee until September 1.
"When a course closes up, then
the late student does not get in."
Students who want to change a
course after signing up can ob-
tain an appropriate form from
the Registrar's Office. A fee of
$10 will be charged after Sep-
tember 21, and no changes may
be made after September 28.
Hanszen Captures
New Poetry Prize
An all-new format and the win-
ners of the college poetry contest
will be featured in the next issue
of Janus,' the campus literary
magazine, which will be published
.the first week in May.
Hanszen College has captured
the first annual inter-college poe-
try contest sponsored by Janus,
editor Doug Harlan announced
Monday.
The winning Hanszen entry was
composed of "Three Smoke-ring
Circus (with Side Show)" by
sophomore Mike Evans; "Cat" by
freshman John Dunlap; and "Oc-
tober Sequence" by junior Robert
Zelenka. The decision to award
the prize, a plaque to be ro-
tated each year to the winning
college, was reached by a com-
mittee of judges led by English
Professor John Taylor.
Two other poems entered in the
contest will be also published.
The best individual poem, by
Wiess freshman Daniel Albright
and entitled "Litany in Time of
Plague" will be joined by Baker
sophomore Ron Green's poem—
"Sketch."
The all new format will fea-
ture a new page size of 9x6, caus-
ing the magazine to be bound on
the short end of the page rather
than on the traditional long end.
According to Harlan, the maga-
zine will be akin to a "profes-
sional quarterly." "We hope," the
•Janus editor confided, "that it
will be a book more people would
be apt to save for their libraries."
