But student frustration over registering for classes is nothing new. Now, most students' concerns center around trying not to get stuck in a Friday class or with a professor who has a hor- rible rating on ratemyprofessor.com. How- ever, students at the University inthe early 1970s didn't have the luxuries of Internet rating sites or online registration. Up until 1975, students registered for classes in the Waterman Gymna- sium which stood next to the Chemistry Building before it was torn down. Regis- tration was done on paper, on tables set up throughout the building, according to a series of articles in The Michigan Daily in April1982. Douglas Woolley, associate regis- trar for personnel and operations, told the Daily at the time that students were forced to spend much of their day regis- tering for classes.

The entire student body would gather outside of the gymnasium, waiting in line until registration opened up later in the day. Course sign-up was organized by department and there was no seniority system or alphabetical scheme. In order to register for a class, students had to run from table to table getting a card for each class they wished to enroll in, accord- ing to the articles. Students knew a class was full when there were no more cards available for the course. In 1975, University administrators implemented Computer Registration Involving Student Participation - com- monly known as CRISP - to make the registration process easier. According to the article, the system was the first online terminal-based system used by a major university. In April 1982, Woolley also told the FILE PHOTO/Daily Engineering junior Thomas Ward was one of the first students to register for classes in 1982.
