IT WASN'T ALWAYS THIS TOUGH - Years ago students
registered at the University simply by signing names in a
ledger book. Now, though, students can register only by filling
out endless forms of the traditional "railroad ticket."

v By LEE MARKS
To most people the words "rail-
>ad ticket" simply indicate a
ode of transportation.
For University students though
ie words are richer in meaning,
eeper in implication.
The "railroad ticket," in student
arlance, is almost two.feet of lines
nd blanks, endless repitions, per-
wations and odd: little boxes to
ieck.
Provides Filing Information
Used to provide information for
arious University offices and
gencies the "railroad ticket" is
convenient medium for all but
ie student, to whom it represents
period of tedium.
How long the "railroad ticket"
as been used is difficult to deter-
ine but secretaries who worked in
Le registra's office as far back as
le 1920's said they couldn't re-
ember ever using anything. but
ailroad tickets."
4ppoint New
women's Dean
At their June meeting, Univer-
ty Regents approved the appoint-
ent of Elizabeth Davenport as
;sistant dean of women, effective
ily first.
Mrs. Davenport, a University
'aduate, will aid in planning for
e steady increase in enrollment
pected in the next 20 .years by
veloping administrative proced-
es and recording systems.
She will also help in counseling
dividual women and work with
sistant Dean Elsie Fuller in ad-
Inistering the residence hall
)using plan.
Introducing
Miss Fanny Kaufman, former
secretary to Registra Emeritus Ira
Smith, commented, "They may!
have added a card or two but the'
basic ticket has been the same at
least since 1929."
Newcomers Perplexed
Upperclassmen, seasoned in fill-
ing out the ticket, have little diffi-
culty but incoming freshmen and
transfers are often perplexed. .
One coed, who picked up her
ticket only a few minutes before
she was scheduled to register, ask-
ed the woman in the registra's cf-
fice "Who fills this out?"
The woman informed her polite-
ly, "You do."
The coed walked away mumbling
under her breath and counting the
number of times she was required
to write her name.
Going Was Easier
Had the coed in question arrived
here in 1872 she would have found
the going considerably easier. For
example, she would have signed
her name only once, and the only
other information requested would
have been her age and address.
Alumni Catalog Office records
disclose that registration was ac-
complished simply by signing a
large, ruled ledger . from 1872 to
1902.
In 1903 the book was abandoned
and registrdation accomplished by
filling out four by six inch slips
of paper. Additional information,
father's occupation and names of
two persons who knew you, were
required but, so far as could be
determined, the student only had
to fill out one form.
After a while, no one seems to
know Just when, the slips were dis-
carded and the traditional "rail-
road ticket" adopted.

MICHIGAN NEWCOMERS soon discover the resources
of State Street include one of the mid-west's largest and
best book stores, Bob Marshall's Book Shop at 211 South
State across from Lane Hall.
Bob Marshall's compares favorably with the best book
stores of New York; Boston, and Chicago.
Here's why:
* MORE BOOKS - more individual titles from which to
choose than any other store in middle-USA.
* BETTER BOOKS - a carefully-selected and discriminating
stock of the good and great books of this and all the past
centuries of publishing, representing most fields of man's
search for knowledge and self-expression.
* MORE PAPER-BOUNDS - at Bob Marshall's you'll find
one of the largest selections of quality paper-backs any-
where. ,, plus a huge selection of low-priced paper books.
* MORE BARGAINS - there is always a sale at Bob Mar-
shall's. Usually the sale is of considerable proportions (as
it is right now) with several thousand different titles on
sale table display. These sale tables are loaded with the
cream of currently-available offerings of publishers' over-
stocks and remainders, all marked way down. The sale
tables at Bob Marshall's change rapidly, with new stock
added every week of the year.
* MORE USED BOOKS - our South Wall is a good used
book shop in itself, a shop within a shop.-All the used titles
at Bob Marshall's are modestly-priced. The original price
is listed also. If the title is out-of-print that information is
furnished too.
f MORE BROWSING - browsing is an integral and natural
part of the bookish atmosphere at Bob Marshall's. Com-
fortable chairs, lots of room, and a lack of high-pressure
(or even low-pressure) selling tactics back up this invita-
tion. You are always welcome, even during the so-called
textbook rush, to come browsing here. You will never be
made uncomfortable or out-of-place if you do not choose
to buy ... assuming you can resist the blandishments and
temptations of a' fabulous stock. It is not an overstatement
to suggest that browsing at Bob Marshall's is an essential
part of your university experience.
* MORE HOURS - for your convenience and especially for
your browsing pleasure, Bob Marshall's is open six days of ,
every week from 9AM. to 10 P.M. Closed Sundays.
* MORE SERVICES - our staff is a full-time, professional
staff of experienced book people whose competence is ac-
companied by an almost "missionary" zeal for good books.
We can obtain any book you want, regardless of the coun-
try of origin, whether in-print or out-of-print. Gift-wrapping
and/or wrapping-for-mailing at no charge.
* LESS ETC. - because this is a book store, believing in the
efficacy and the viability of the world of books you will
find no supplies, no sweat shirts, no mish-mash .. . nothing
but books plus a few accessories like book plates and art
