rector students who do not plan to at tend lehigh in the fall should place this information in the space designated for description of courses those who desire special sched ules because of an outside job or because of physical disabilities should report to the office of the dean of students at the time of pre-registration to file a request for special scheduling and should note on the back of their ticket that they have done so revisions to pre-registration tickets can be facilitated only by completing a new ticket the word revised should then be placed in the upper right hand corner the
