shite, when I first got to tech, you had to stand in line. We skipped phone step and went straight to internet registration


I don't really remember when we had internet registration but maybe not at all during my first degree from LSU. You had to just sit on the phone and hit redial for an hour or two until you got through.

You missed out on the color coded mainframe computer punch cards after wandering around half of campus (multiple buildings anyway). Engineering was one color, English another, Math a 3rd color...taking a ton of classes per quarter @Tech you'd have a rainbow of cards to turn in at the end of about a 3 hour or longer walkabout.

Not advertised was the trading cards among students to coordinate professors, times, days of the week. "I'll trade ya my Lime Green Thursdays for your Dark Red Tuesdays if you'll throw in your Dark Blue Monday afternoon".
