Registration times for classes have been changed from midnight to 8 a.m. for Franklin Pierce students.

The Registrar was unavailable for comment on this issue. Registration times before the most recent registration period were originally at midnight the day of registration. The Student Government Association (SGA) was responsible for asking for the change. SGA voiced the students’ opinions and concerns about how late they had to stay up to register.

Sophomore Ryan Ducrow said, “I think pushing to 8 p.m would’ve been way better, though I didn’t mind staying up until 12, I know a lot of people have 8 a.m classes and also dont want to get up early to do them.” Although Ducrow is part of SGA he is indifferent with the change.

Sophomore Baleigh Hoyt said, “The only thing I see as an issue is people are in class at 8.” Hoyt is a Community Assistant for New Hampshire Hall. “I don’t think the change is unnecessary. I just think it is going to inconvenience some people.”

There is a crisis of trust in journalism right now.
Many Americans say they don’t trust the news media
anymore, and poll after poll shows that they want newspapers to be more transparent about how the
news is gathered.
This semester the Exchange is asking its reporters to describe what they did to report the facts, in what
we’re calling a transparency statement. We ask our readers to feel free to use the comment boxes at
the bottom of each article to call them out when the reporters may not have done enough and to
compliment them when you think they’ve done a good job.
To write this article I was originally going to interview the registrar and a SGA representative but due to the snow storm and subsequent snow day the registrar was too backlogged to do an interview. After that I was forced to change my plan. I interviewed Ryan Ducrow Tuesday morning via text and Baleigh Hoyt later on in the day as soon as she was available to do so.
