Streamline
A doff of the cap and a loud growi of ap
proval from the Lion is in order for the far
sightendness and planning of the Department
of Economics and Commerce in inaugerating
a new plan of streamline registration and
counseling which in all essence is supposed
to greatly speed pre-registration.
IN ORDER TO get better acquainted with
majors is commerce and finance or economics,
and to assist them with their program of work,
staff members of the department may be con
tacted anytime before pre-registration com
mences on December 12.
Students are urged to see their advisors
and talk over their courses of study and to
receive advice which should be most help
ful in their field of specialisation.
After talking to their counsellors, students
are required to fill out a curriculum record
which must then be signed by their faculty
counsellor.
This record |s a pre-requisite to the schedul
ing of courses during first phase registration,
December 12-18.
For the actual period of first phase registra
tion, a strict system of priority has been work
ed out by Professors D. H. McKinley and D. S.
Brown, whereby eighth semester students re
ceive top priority in scheduling courses.
ALL PRE-REGISTRATION will take place
on the third floor of 'Sparks. Campus patrol
men will be stationed at the two entrances
to the floor and only students with the re
quired number of credits, prescribed for that
evening, will be admitted.
Another great improvement is that slu.
dents will not have to schedule courses by
sections according to alphabetical listing or
according' to semester rating. Anyone may
register in any section desired until the quota
for that particular section is filled, seniors
having priority.
Names of instructors for economics and
commerce courses with five or more sections
will not be listed in the timetable but staff
members for all advanced courses will be
listed.
All in all, if the plan works as planned, pre
registration time will be shortened to such
an extent that it shouldn’t take a student more
than thirty minutes to pre-register—truly a
big improvement over the past.
The Department of Economics and Commerce
is to be commended for its foresight and plann
ing in trying to streamline first phase registra
tion.

“Don’t Let Me Catch You Guys Discussing What You
Hear On This Thing, See?**
Tete-A-Tete
ABERNATHY—Say, son, can you tell me where I can park
my car?
BILLINGSWORTH—From the looks of it, some junkyard
might take it. But if you mean where on campus, that’s a good
question.. Are you a student?
ABERNATHY—That’s what the registrar says.
BILLINGSWORTH—WeII, in ihat case during Ihe day you
can dump it over in the west parking area below Rec Hall or in
the lot behind the north wing of McElwain. Now at night—
ABERNATHY—I know where to park at night, thank yov
BILLINGSWORTH—Meaning, then, that you, a Penn Stab
male,“have a girl?
ABERNATHY—Don’t know as I ought to say so, but I import
Incidentally, the lucky, gal who’s coming this weekend is driving.
Where can she park her crate?
* * *
BILLINGSWORTH—Assuming, sir, that you refer to her car—
and' this certainly is the first self-propelled import I’ve heard of—
she’ll be entitled to guest treatment on campus.
ABERNATHY—You mean by that, that the coeds will look
upon my weekend one-and-only—she with long red hair dangling
Gravel-Gertie-style from her sweet little pointed ' head—with
some degree of suspicion? Or that—
BILLINGSWORTH—No, no, my friend. I’m referring to the
privileges accorded all visiting motorists. In other words, a visitor
receives the same treatment as those with regular, parking and
operating permits..
ABERNATHY—Ah yes! But is that good?
BILLINGSWORTH—It’s not so bad. You see, campus parking
has been a tough problem in recent years, At the beginning of this
term, about 2,500 campus auto operating permits were in force
while only 1,200 legal parking spaces were available. Construction
programs have been chewing up space at a fast clip and there’s
been an increase in the number of student cars.
ABERNATHY—What’s the deal on these permits?
BILLINGSWORTH—This year, permit tags for driving and
parking on campus are being issued only to faculty members and .
College employees. Previously, students also rated tags but the
change was necessary as a step in solving the general traffic
problem. 1 ■.
ABERNATHY—Gad! This is almost as interesting as a chem
lecture. But I must be moving now, brain boy. We’Ve been read
ing “Trees” in English lit and we’re taking a field trip this dfter- '
noon to look at some. .
BILLINGSWORTH—If ybu're driving, I hope the instructor
has made arrangements with the Campus Patrol office; That':
another regulation.
.ABERNATHY—Don't you ever quit? I gotta go baok to th
dorm now. Will you excuse me?
BILLINGSWORTH—Oh, you live on campus! I suppose yt
know that all-night student parking is permitted in the West pari.
ing area only.
ABERNATHY— I guess you never do quit. Must speed of.
now! How about helping me push the car?
BILLINGSWORTH—I’d like to, old boy but I have to get over
to Tribunal. They have me up for a traffic violation.

Who Lost a Gtovo?
TO THE EDITOR: Please inform me if one
of the students lost a glove on my machine on
Sunday morning, November 20. I stopped to
pick up one of the students a few miles, from
the College and this morning I discovered a
fine glove on the back seat of my car.
I had also given a ride to another man dur
ing the day. I would gladly return same if
informed.
—Paul B. Teel, RD 1, Pen Argyl, Pa;
Ed. Note: Twasn't us. Perhaps the glove
less student' will read this.
Brotherhood
TO THE,EDITOR: Purpose: To makeknown
a pratice Which is against the very principles
upon which our college is founded. Bfoadly
interpreted, the purpose of education is' to
prepare us for a specialized job. Yet,'some, of
my narrowminded colleagues deny others a
basic right of the citizen—that or religious pre
ference. Not directly, but indirectly by indis
criminately ostracizing from their societies or
fraternities those who bow to Mecca at a dif
ferent Hour, or go to Mass instead of chating
to Budda. It is absurd and outdated in. an
advancing world such as ours. I ask. only., how
we can expect to keep a world at peace wljen
there is no true harmony among the very stu
dents who will someday determine its futiiije.
I sincerely that someday soon these,stu
dents realize that hate and discrimination and
not people of* heterogeneous faiths are out of
place in an intelligent society. It is my belief
that the Collegian, which claims to be the true
voice of the students will publish this article
in an effort to further the cause of true brother
hood among men. It is this common Brother
hood and not merely mutual tolerance ,ior
which the world should strive. . : , ‘

Blame The Men '
TO THE EDITOR: This letter is in reply to
*hose men who requested more mixers. Recent
ly the Phi Sigma Sigma Sorority gave a Charity
Brawl at Center Stage. The girls were there,
what happened to. the men? The females out
numbered the-males greatly, and those men
who were there didn’t try to meet new girls.
The men certainly knew about the Brawl and
it wouldn’t have hurt them to go. This time
it can’t be blamed on the girls. They tried.
