Summer Quarter Pre-Registration Discontinued
As Council Rules That All Must Register In Fall
Frequent Schedule Changes Listed
As Principal Reason For Decision
By Walter Albritton
P r e - r e g i s t r a t i o n for t h e summer q u a r t e r was r u l e d out by
t h e API Council of Deans at t h e i r r e g u l a r meeting Wednesday,
J u l y 16, it was announced today by council chairman
M. C. Huntley.
The ruling, effective only for the summer quarter, 1952,
came as the result of some three
weeks discussion of the various

after prolonged examination of
the faults of past'and more*ecent
" registration periods, that the cancellation
of this quarter's pre-registration
would improve the
general efficiency of the registration
program," Huntley stated.

"PRE-REGISTRATION was
thought by the majority of the
council to be time wasted," the
council . chairman pointed out.
"Many of the deans said that they
*c'ould not do anything else during
pre-registration, and they felt
that their time could be put to
better use."
Huntley commented that the
discontinuation of pre-registration
for this quarter did not mean
that the rule had set a precedent
for other quarters. "It is hardly

Audience To Hear
Waights G. Henry
At Union Service
Dr. Waights G. Henry, president
of LaGrange College, La-
Grange, Ga., will be the guest
speakgr at the Protestant Community
Service in Graves Center
Amphitheatre this Sunday night.
Due to a gross error on the part
of The Plainsman, Doctor Henry
was reported as last week's speaker,
while the guest last Sunday
was actually the Rev. Carlton
Lee, chaplain' of Tuskegee Institute.
Doctor Lee, a graduate of Talladega
College, Chicago Theological
Seminary, and the University
of Chicago, was acompanied
to the service by the famous
Tuskegee Institute Choir, which
sang several numbers. He and the
choir have been regular guests
at the union services for the past
several years, and it is with deep
regret that The Plainsman acknowledges
its error in last week's
edition.
This" week's speaker, Doctor
Henry, attended -public schools in
Birmingham and Emory University,
Birmingham Southern College,
the Yale Divinity School,
and the Graduate School of Yale
University. He has'been president
of LaGrange College four years.
feasible that we could do without
pre-registration in the winter
quarter when there are only a
few days between that • quarter
and the spring term."
* * *
THE RULING OUT of this
quarter's pre-registration is the
first step taken by the Council
of Deans in an attempt to see if a
more efficient method of registration
can be found, Huntley
said. "We are not positive that
cutting registration down to one
definite period will be a success
or not," he explained. "The
council has for some time felt
that pre-registration was unnecessary,
and" we decided that
the summer quarter would be the
best time to experiment with the
idea." - v
In favor of the council's action,
Engineering Dean J. E. Hannum
stated Friday that "the real objection
to pre-registration is that
so many students have to change
their schedules during the regular
registration time." He then
pointed out that "more than half
of our engineering students make
changes in their schedules during
the regular registration period."
* * *
DEAN FRANK ORR, concurring
with Dean Hannum, said that
he thought prer-registration was
"a complete waste of time for
bSth students and faculty." He
went further' to say "Time that
we are putting on registration
could be used for something else
that would benefit the students."
In.defense of pre-registration,
Home Economics Dean M. W.
Spidle explained that her staff
voted 100 per cent" in favor of
pre-registration. She stated that
those who shared the minority
viewpoint with her believed that
pre-registration should be retained
because it gave them time to
counsel with the students, consider
their problems, and help
them in selecting and scheduling
their, courses.

INTERNATIONAL HARMONY IN SCHOOL—
Chinese Student Describes Cooperation
i x By Gay Hogan
When students from at least 28 nations can work harmoniously
in" one school, then Ho-Kang Liu is sure that this
should be pointed-out as a working example of cooperation
knd harmony to the less peaceful portions of the world.
These students Ho-Kang speaks of were his schoolmates
in a missionary high school in
Calcutta, India:, where he graduated
this year. For the most part,
| h e boys and girls were from
families connected with the many
embassies in New Delhi, the capital
of India, and the oil companies
in that area.
'. Though, this was not the first
high school Ho-Kang had attended,
it was the first in which he
fead come in - contact with the
English language. Indian it may
have been, but American influence
was strong in language and
social customs at the school. Nor
was it unusual to hear three different
langauges used in one sentence,
for Ho-Kang says that a
mixture of Hindu, Siamese, Chinese
and English is spoken by the
students.
* • *• *
NOT ONLY was a mivture of
languages spoken, but different
types of sports had been brought
from countries which were represented
there. Cricket, hockey,
football, and baseball, were all
played, and the school was known
for its superior basketball team.
Ho-Kang was content with being
on the table tennis team, doing
photography work for the
school annual,- and helping with
the movies that were taken at
their school to show the rest of
the country how the school oper-

Student Prefers Dating Habits
Of Colombia To Those-At API
By Hilda Hargrove
.-"In some ways, I like t h e American system of d a t i n g b e t t er

many different boys. When a boy asks you for a date in
Colombia, you know he really

American way is best.
What Fabiola approves of most
in the American dating setup is
no chaperone. In her country a
date is always a threesome. She
likes the American twosome better.

No Pre-Registration! U t i l e ' M a n On Canipu* by Bible;
Pre-re'gistration for the fall quarter was
ruled out by the Council of Deans at a
meeting last Wednesday. Realizing what
a terrific impact this ruling would doubtlessly
have on the average student, we felt
that a full explanation of the council's decision
might prevent any misunderstanding
to a great extent on. the part of the
student body.. Thus, it is our intention
here to first present all the facts, the merits
and demerits of pre-registration, followed
by our own evaluation of them.
One of the first things to be considered
is that the move by the council was not
made without due deliberation. We were
assured by council chairman M. C. Huntley
that the members of the council had
thoroughly discussed the pros and cons of
pre-registration before making their decision.
This fact should clear up the matter
for those students who are of the opinion
that the council acted "on the spur of the
moment."
It was generally believed by the council,
chairman Huntley pointed out, that the
elimination of pre-registration would improve
the over-all efficiency of the registration
program.. "However, this rule ap-plys
only to the fall quarter, 1952," Huntley
hastened to add. "We have felt for
some time that pre-registration should be
dropped, and we decided that the summer
quarter, was the best time to experiment
with the idea to see if it will work."
Although it was by a very convincing
vote that the deans agreed to exclude fall
pre-registration, the majority group was
not without opposition. A firm pro argument
was presented by several council
members who vainly attempted to persuade
the council that pre-registration was
favorable. ,
The c"6ri argument was ably expressed
by Engineering Dean J. E. Hannum, an
earnest supporter of the permanent discontinuation
of pre-registratiort. In an interview^
Dean Hannum stated that from an
administrative standpoint alone, pre-registration
was undesirable because during ths
pre-registering period, the dean and his
assistants can do only the work of pre-registration,
nothing else. This, he said,
causes them to get behind considerably in
their ordinary tasksi
"However, the real objection to pre-registration
is that so many students have
to change their schedules during the regular
registration time," Dean Hannum asserted.
He then pointed out three reasons
why so many changes are made:
(1) Unexpected failure. Students are
likely to be optimistic and register for
courses which they cannot take because of
failing the prerequisite to these courses.
(2) Students often optimistically pre-register
for an over-load; then, changes
must be made if the students do not make
the necessary point average.
(3) A long period between quarters,
he suspects, causes more students to make
changes. The longer the period, such as
that between the summer and fall quarters,
the more the students will think about
their courses and decide to make changes.
To support his reasoning that pre-registration
is unnecessary, Dean Hannum set
forth what he termed three fundamentals
to registration:
(1) That students register as near
the beginning of t h e particular class-term
as possible. "The time to register is
the.day before you start to class; there's
iio question about it," the Engineering dean
said emphatically.
(2) That all students register in one
place at one time, where all .can be together
and obtain quick communication, This
way, all students will get the maximum
service.
(3) That registration, because of its
great importance, be carried on when nothing
else is in the college calendar. By doing
this, full attention can be devoted to
all of the students.
Advocating that pre-registration be retained,
Home Economics Dean M. W.
Spidle gave these three points to the council:
(1) By having pre-registration, we
have more time to consider the problems
and needs of each student.
(2) It gives us ample time to work out
a schedule that will help each student's
case.
(3) We c a n h e l p the students select
their courses, thereby helping them to pick
those courses from which they would benefit
most.
The opinion of Dean Spidle was shared
by those council members who voted in
favor of keeping pre-registration. The individual
counseling and help in selecting
and scheduling courses that pre-registration
affords were the main points brought
out in its favor. ' s
We feel that perhaps some system could
be worked out whereby the counseling and
help in the selection of courses could be
continued, toward the end of each quarter,
even though the students could not register
until the beginning of the next quarter.
Our first reaction to the registration
ruling was probably no different from that
of any student. We were shocked and surprised
that such could possibly happen.
And, naturally, we thought at once that
the council had "pulled a fast one," purposely
to take away our priority and to cut
our vacations short. Then, after inquiring
into the matter from several different sources,
and weighing the facts objectively, we
found that it was not that at all.
We believe now that the deans acted
sincerely, and in the best interest of the
entire student body. We believe that they,
contrary to what some have thought, Were
not simply attempting to make their own
jobs .more convenient, without concerning
themselves with the position or welfare of
the students.
Yes, our vacation will be cut short. But
then, that will not make a great deal of
difference. Besides, many of us will probably
come back early anyway*
Too, our priority of getting to register
before the big crowd has been taken away.
But still, we're not. in such a bad way.
Upper-classmen will have the opportunity
to register before the befuddled group of
incoming freshmen throw the process into
utter confusion.
We cannot say whether or not the
council's experiment of dropping pre-registration
will be a success. Time, alone
can answer that question.
But whether or not it is a success or
failure, we stand behind the council's action.
We believe that the deans acted in
full knowledge that the ruling would not
be generally well-received by the students,
yet because they felt it would improve the
present setup, they ruled out pre-registration
even in the face of severe criticism.
Surely those students who will say that
the council acted without regard for the
student body are voicing disrespect for Auburn.
We believe that even men in such
positions of importance as the deans. of
Auburn's schools would be fired if they did
not consider first, last and always the
rights and privileges, the needs and problems
of Auburn students.. If we are wrong
in this assumption, we would welcome
correction.
We do not ask that students accept cur
opinion as being right, but we do ask that
every student carefully consider all of the
facts, the merits and demerits, before
forming an opinion. Then, hold to that
opinion, and be not swayed by those who
would sacrifice their respect for this college
in favor of a fight for personal conveniences.

'Plains Talk* From Readers
Dear Editor: .
Two weeks ago pro Ike delegates
from Texas were shouting
"steal" on disputed delegates to
the Republican Convention. They
said their rights had been taken
away. This week at Auburn 2,400
-students are shouting "steal" because
seven of our good deans have
taken aijay our right to pre-register.
By not having pre-registration,
the'students here this summer will
have to cut their vacation between
quarters a full week in
order to come back to Auburn to
register. Believe me, a person
needs a full three months rest before
trying to tackle Fall registration's
mad scramble and confusion;
yet the summer school student is
getting only a month before this
ordeal.. I only hope there won't be
too many casualties when the "rat
race" begins September 24.
The seven deans who voted
against pre-registration this past
week seem to have no concern
about the students health or students
rights. If I'm not mistaken,
I believe this school was set up for
the students and not for the deans.
At the itspublican Convention,
Ike took his fight to the floor and
fought for his delegates, however
we students don't seem to have
such a remedy. True, we could
picket the deal's offices or go on
a sit-down strike; but then this
wouldn't be acting like Auburn
gentlemen and besides those seven
democratic minded deans would
kick the ringleaders out of school,
or out of the state if possible.
I'm not sure if it would do any
good, but maybe if we students
gripe hard enough and long enough
the next couple of weeks the matter
-of pre-registration will be
voted 6"n again ay the good deans.
Who knows, they may have the
heart to see the student point of
view. Besides, I'm interested in
seeing if this is a democracy in
which we live.
Please withhold my name from,
print because I want to graduate
next quarter—if I live through
the September 24 "rat race."
Sincerely,
Name Withheld

the publication of a front page
editorial in the Crimson-White

over the distribution of

Sports Tips
By John Raines
Pillion To Broaden Athletic Career;
Will Turn To Football In September
I
Olympic performer to almost raw recruit in 40 days—that
is to be the next chapter in the athletic story of Jim Dillion,
the Ohio behemoth who migrated to Auburn by way of Fort
Sill, Okla.
This week Big Jim, 6-2, 220, is spinning the discus in the
biggest event any athlete can participate in. On September
1 he starts all over; before he is through, his career may well
rank with the most fabulous ever to come out of Dixie.
The "new" career'for this smiling, modest lad is football,
and perhaps no one is happier about the whole thing than
coach Ralph (Shug) Jordan, the man who is making rapid
progress in leading Auburn- away from the gridiron shadows
that have plagued it for so many years.
Jim's total football experience to date consists of a couple
of years at Fort Sill and one season, his freshman fling, at
Auburn. He has yet to test the varsity game and he has not
even undergone a spring practice in college company.
This fall, Jordan says Jim will be tried at offensive fullback
and defensive linebacker. Jordan had this to say about
Jim:
"Of course, Jim's biggest handicap, will be the lack of experience,
but he has the speed and natural ability, and we see
no reason why, in proper time, he should, not be a fine football
player."
"In proper time," Jordan hastened to point out, it may be
half a season or it may be a year, depending on the progress
Dillion makes. But three years of grid eligibility remain, and
the raw material is there. .The finished product should be
something to behold.
This fellow Dillion might never have seen Dixie had it
not been for a stint at Fort Sill. He hails from Harp.ster, Ohio.
While at Fort Sill, Dillion came in contact with an old
War Eagle, Ernie Mills, who used to be a familiar-face in
Auburn's line. Mills was coaching at Fort Sill at the time.
So when J im left to attend college, his choice was Auburn.
Fifteen War Eagles for Ernie Mills.
When he began throwing the discus for Auburn in his
freshman year, opposing track coaches could only envision
nightmares for three years. But' Coach Wilbur Hutsell's
dreams were pleasant. Dillion set an SEC record enroute to
an NCAA championship in 1951 and bettered it this *past
spring on the way to the National AAU title. In Olympic
trials, Jim became the lone gentleman from these parts to
make the grade, earning his berth along with the nation's
best contenders.
Dillion played end on the freshman team, and he and
Vince Dooley made a fine passer-receiver combination. Our
hope is that they will fraternize as well this fall! Jim. is an
exceptionally fast guy for his size. He is only one step behind
Jackie Creel, the sprint king, for 50 yards.
This week all Auburn eyes, along with many thousands of
Dillion's fans' are turned to Helsinki, but come fall, those eyes
will turn toward Hare Stadium, where his talent and ability,
we are sure, will add greatly to Auburn's hopes for a better
season.

Foy Thompson, Bob Burns, Ed Duncan
Make Guard Strongest Plainsman Post
LINE COACH
By Bill Beckwith
An early prediction for the strongest position on Auburn's
football team next fall might easily be the guard post, where
the rugged trio of Foy Thompson, Bob Burns, and Ed Duncan
roam. What makes the guards look even better are boys
like Bill Kilpatrick, Al Brame, George Atkins, Ted Neura,
and Bo Hunt backing up the big ...
year of competition is junior Duncan.
Standing 5-10, and weighing
215 pounds, the Birmingham
re'S-head gathered many vqtes'for
A11-America last fall with his outstanding
play. As it was, he was
voted to the third team AU-SEC
eleven by.the Associated Press.
three.
Captain Ed Bauer is the only
loss at the position, but his absence
could prove serious. Bauer, a
second string All-Southeastern,
selection, served well for the Tig^-
ers as a first stringer since 1949.
Replacing the graduated Bauer
will be senior Thompson. One of
Foy Thompson
Ed "Foots" Bauer
the less-publicized boys on the
team, Thompson devoted the majority
of his time to offense last
fall, and offensive linemen draw
little notice in the shuffle to find
the ball carrier.
* * *
RETURNING FOR his second
Burns is relatively hew" to the
position, having lettered as a line-,
backer in 1951. Built like a champion
pugilist, BTirris is second to
none in desire. Transplanted from
a Lineville fullback to a linebacker,
and how to guard, the
190-pound junior might ease Duncan
or Thompson out of their
offensive positions, forcing them
to the defensive unit.
THE OUTSTANDING ability of
tfle big three reaches beyond their
gridiron feats into the classfobm.
Guards were once considered candidates
without the brain power to
play any other position. Thompson,
Burns, and Duncan ruin this
theory since all are in the upper
bracket Of" their classes. Burns, a
straight A student, • is one of the
prides .of the Agriculture School:
Thompson.1 has reached 3.89 in
Auburn's -.point system in the
School of Education, and Duncan
' i? regular customer in the B group.
Defensively,- Auburn -will have
the lightest guards in the SEC in
Brame (17.0)^and Kilpatrick (180).
Coach Rg^ph" Jordan has hopes of
using the;'fly weights frequently
within th# 20-yard line to take
advantagef'of their speed. As they
are toa^lfght for^ the goal line
stands, hf will probably install
Neura andtackle Sam Hanks when
the enemy starts pounding the
middle of the line.
c $ * ~* *
E X P E R T S LAUGHED when
assistant Homer Hohbs, now line
coach at •• the Naval Academy,
started the season with Bauer and
Thompson as the only veterans,
especially when he stated that bjr
midseasbn he'd have five guards

successor, Joe Connally, is higl» on
the men.
"What we like most of all is the
class arrangement," Connally says.
"Thompson is the lone senior;
Duncan, Burns, and Kilpatrick are
juniors, and the others are sophomores."
* * *
A LITTLE MORE speed is
needed by the offensive unit because
the guards are required to
pull" out on end runs for interferences
All three have been instructed
to work on their speed
during the summer.
Line coach Shot Senn hesitates
to name any additional strength
the Tigers might gain from incoming
freshmen. Checking down
his list, one could get excited over
boys like Bill Lannon, brother of
former ace Hal Lannon; Earl
Bush (230) of Americus, Ga., and
George McGuire of Springfield,
Ohio.

Auburn To Meet Mississippi State
In November Homecoming Grid Battle
By John Raines
Auburn will play host to Mississippi State College, November
8, in what should turn out to be a- thriller for a Homecoming
Game. Both teams had a fair season last year with
Auburn winning one more - game than S. State finished
•»ext-to last in the Southeastern Conference, but did not lose
.a non-conference game to gather
a 4-5 record.
• Auburn did not play State last
year, but in their last encounter in
1950, State joined in Auburn's
anost miserable season to defeat
•them 27-0 to revenge a 1949 loss,
.25-6. State holds the edge in the
11 games played between the two
.•schools in winning seven.

HEAD COACH Arthur "Slick"
jMorton will begin his fourth year
at Mississippi State this fall, and
as expecting his best season. In
1950 and '51 his team won four and
'lost five each season. State has
•won one SEC Championship, 1941,
and has attended two bowl games.
: State is traditionally a good de-iiciisive
team, and that is what
•they were last year in placing six
;»)i total defense in the conference.
'They are usually considered one of
the best pass defense teams in the
>»ation. They proved it in 1950 by
^slopping Lauricella and Tennessee,
7-0, in the upset of the year.
, * * *
MORTON lost many of his line-i
»nen via graduation last spring,
ibut he has many young and experienced
sophomores and juniors
to fill in. John Katusa, junior, was
one of the standouts at -the end
position. He ranked«high in pass
receiving, but never made a touchdown.
Chlorophyll Rising
(Continued from page 5)
"wiU probably open a new field.
"This new item is, get this, socks
triat have been impregnated with
the stuff so as to keep your tootsies
smelling like lilac water. These
socks are. called "Sweet Feet" according
to a recent article in The
Walt Street Journal. I guess if you
ran out of green gum you could
always chew, a sock.
. The next thing that will probably
happen is an employment of
chlorophyll to cleanse your speech.
You wouldn't have to worry about
saying an off color remark in front
of guests because the chlorophyll
"would even combat offensive language.
There is only one catch to
•Ibis chlorophyll business. Why
does a horse smell like he does
after eating bales and bales of it
in its natural state?
'Plains Talk'
(Continued from page 4)
editorial in the Crimson-White
of thfe University of Alabama which
appeared July 8, 1952. .The editorial
I am referring to is entitled
—"The Big Swindle."
First, let me say that it is .my
belief that this editorial is full
of half-truths. We of the Student
Government Association are now
attempting to show your student
body the other side of the story as
we see it. For example, we are well
aware of the fact that the Auburn
student newspaper, "The Plainsman"
is not a controlled newspaper,
but on the contrary was
instrumental in supporting the
student sponsored program to raise
their own student activity fee to
help pay for the new Union Building.
We realize that the Auburn
student body, on its own initiative
and by a vote taken at a special
election, voted overwhelmingly to
increase - its ' own student activity
fee for the purpose of building a
new Uunion Building. And even'
with this increase, the Auburn stu-

dent activity fee is not out of line
with student activity fees of other
schools. We know that The Plainsman,
has always been an organ of
the student body and never a tool
of the administration. This point
and many others are being brought
out in a letter from our office to
the Editor of the Crimson-White.
As you know, ror the last few
years Auburn and the University
have been doing all possible to
promote friendly relations between
the two schools. We would have
nothing such as this editorial tear
down the work which has already
been done. Our athletic events have
demonstrated that we can compete
in a friendly spirit. The unity and
purpose of the two schools cannot
be destroyed by a simple, misunderstanding
of facts. We are attempting
to show these facts to our
student body as they really are.
If you will kindly convey this
message to your student body, w e
will greatly appreciate it. We want
them to know that the student

friendly relations which have prevailed
for so long.
