What?NotRegistered?
Editor is Non-Student
"You can't flunk me now
I'm not even registered yet'"
The line was long and the
Bronco editor had other things
besides registration on her mind
last Feb. 1. It wasn't' until last
week that Beverly Scott dis-
covered she was not legally reg-
istered for the spring term.
Checking their cards the reg-
istrar's office did not find one
for Beverly. A phone call fol-
lowed by a trip to the regis-
trar's office cleared up the mat-
ter completely. When going
through the line someone fail-
ed to get Beverly's card mark-
ed "Registrar" and she still had
it in her possession.
