The Physical Education Program is introducing a new way to register for
classes - it's an Athena-based selection system called PELOTT (Physical
Education LOTTery) and will be run quarterly throughout the 1995-1996
academic year including IAP.

For the first quarter, you will be able to enroll in physical education
classes from 8AM on August 16, 1995 until Noon on September 6, 1995
from any Athena workstation or from any dialup or Telnet connection
to Athena.

To select classes in order of your preferences:

From an Athena workstation:
1. Type "add pelott" <RETURN> 
2. Type "xphedu &" <RETURN>

Over dialup or Telnet:
1. Type "add pelott" <RETURN>
2. Type "phedu" <RETURN>

Once you are in the system, a list of Physical Education classes
offered for the first quarter will be displayed.  You can select
up to six choices.

You may go back and change your choices until Noon on September 6, 1995.

On September 7, the results of the lottery will be sent to you via
e-mail.

Pre-registration and late registration:

* There is no pre-registration except for scuba diving.  Please contact
the P.E. Office regarding scuba diving.

* Late registrations based on availability will be accepted at the
P. E. Office beginning September 8.  A list of open classes will be
available on Athena.  

Listed below are various important policy and procedural issues
concerning the lottery.

* The lottery will treat all participants equally, regardless of status.

* The lottery will maximize the probability of a participant receiving
  his or her first choice.

* Making multiple choices or including a subject less likely to be
  overenrolled as a later selection will not reduce the chance of
  receiving your first choice.

* The system will try to give participants their first choice.
  However, if a participant wishes to ensure taking a class this
  quarter, he or she should include among the classes selected a
  subject this is unlikely to be overenrolled.

* A participant|s place in a class will be held until the second
  class meeting.

* Participants may enroll in only one class per quarter through the
  Physical Education Lottery.  Participants wishing to take more than one
  class in a quarter will have to select their additional classes from
  the list of those subjects still open after the lottery is run.
  Follow the late registration procedure stated above.

Registration for the second quarter will be from October 18 until Noon
October 25, 1995.

Questions concerning the program should be directed to the P.E.
Office, W32-125, ext. 253-4291.
