Stuart: hello.Can I help you?

Karen: Yes, I hope so.I would like to register for Camp Lit 287.

Stuart: I'm sorry,  7  And also, students are supposed to register through the touch-tone registration system.

Karen: I know.I already tried to register for it by phone. 8  

Stuart: That's because it's full.

Karen: But I’m a new student here.I thought maybe there was some way I could get into the class.I thought I should come and talk to you in the department office.

Stuart: Well.I could put you on a waiting list.But that doesn’t guarantee you will get into the class,  9  

Karen: My name is Karen Huang.That's spelled H-U-A-N-G.

Stuart: Alright.And what is your major?

Karen: I’m a comparative literature major.

Stuart: Wait a minute. 10  

Karen: Yes, that's right.And Professor Cohen told me I need to take Comp Lit 287.

Stuart: The university computer system saves extra places, in class 287 for Comp Lit students.

Karen: Even if the class is full?

Stuart: That's right.
