The adding, dropping and closing of classes all add to the frustration of students. The paying of registration fees also wears on the students' patience as well as their feet. Students waste countless hours standing in line in the hot CA building. If the student is lucky she will encounter a line which extends from the office to the bottom stairs. If she is unlucky, she will encounter one which terminates on the outside of the building.
Students stand, lean on the walls or sit on the dirty floor in frustration.
After changing position numerous times, the student in front moves one step forward and the cycle is repeated. After entering the room where the actual registration takes place, she is asked to sit on a chair. This represents the only bright spot in the entire process. She rests her legs while the registrar strikes the computer keyboard inserting all the information that has just been handed to her. The computer takes some time to access the information.
