Winter Quarter Registration Jan. 4 Winter quarter registration will be completed by all students wish- ing to attend Eastern on Monday, Jan. 4, the first day after the Christmas holidays, Frank Mor- gan, acting registrar, announced. During the holidays, each stu- dent will be sent an official time appointment card which will be directed to the student's perma- nent address. Upon presentation of the card at the designated time, each student will be issued his student packet containing class cards and cards to be filled out with pertinent data. Students who failed to pre- register before Christmas will re- ceive time appointment cards on Jan. 4 that will enable them to register late Monday afternoon. If students did not indicate they were coming back to school, they will not receive a time appoint- ment card from the registrar's of- fice. The purpose of pre-registration is to \speed up\ registration pro- cedures by enabling all students to consult their advisors well in advance of registration.
