Viking_Yearbook_64

This was the year for student iden– tity to be preserved in plastic per– petuity. As the omniscient IBM machines ground through a record 6700 enrollment, the student car– ried away from registration lines a new academic visa-the all– purpose , all -time-to-come , plastic ID card. With Portland State numbers at a new high and the add itional load of signing 5000 Portland Continuation Center students , registration plan– ners could prove an efficient regis– tration process . But this did not change the sound of griping ground-music from the student lines. " Look I only had to wait twice this long to see Cleopatra ." " Two quarters now the history sections closed before the 78's could get there ; I'll be on social security be– fore I get my requireds ." The close– out section problem was tougher this year-as it has been every year since PSC was born. 9
