exhibition panel which is now
being' shown in Washington,
D.C.
The panel is part of an ex

students in architectural

participating in the exhibit.
Each school prepared its
own exhibition panel, demon

resulting in the school. From
the work shown here, a jury
will select panels to be sent
later to Germany for the in

organized houses who will so
licit the pledges for the foun

Treasury Contributions
The same procedure may be
used in organizations except

Basoco said..
A pledge can be made now
and paid within the next four
years," Basoco explained.
The pledges will go toward
making up the $1.1 million
goal the Uni v e r s i t y must

Castle, will vie for the title
with more hours of credit and
those who carry more hours
per semester.
"The least that could be
done under the new system
would be to rotate through the
alphabet to determine who
registers first," Rogge said.
He suggested that to make
student opinion better known
for or against the change,
each person should be sure t
tell his Council representative
his feelings.
Frenzel added that he would
like to return to the old sys
tem since he feels that it gave
more privilege to the upper
classmen and that they de
serve it. If they plan to use
the new plan, he added, it
could certainly be improved
upon.
Arbitrary Method
Among other campus lead
ers to comment on the regis-'
tration change was Gary Cad-
wallader, president of IFC.
It seems to me that registra
tion by alphabetical order is
unfair to those at the end of
the alphabet since they can't
Student
No Big Welcome
Ready For System
By Sandy Kully
"I am furious!"
"It's ridiculous!"
"They can't do ' this to
me!"
If these comments are in
dicative of the opinion of
the entire student body, al
phabetical registration will
not receive a red carpet
welcome.
Of 25 students inter-
viewed, only two had an af
firmative comment about
the new process.
"This plan will be all
right if provision is made
for people who need special
classes and sections," said
Ken Price, senior in Teach
ers College.
Allen Krizelman, sopho
more in Arts and Science,
said he thought that the new
plan would be more fair
than the old one of regis
tration by hours.
"The classes that most
juniors and seniors take are
only offered at one time
anyway, so they shouldn't
have too much trouble," he
commented.
Three Classes
Objection to alphabetical
registration seemed to fall
into three classes: it is un
fair to seniors who must
have certain courses 'to
graduate, it "pulls rank" on
upperclassmen, and it is for
the benefit of the faculty
and the administration, not
the students.
Commented one junior
boy, "for my own benefit
it's fine, but for seniors who
are working on hours, it's
unfair."
Jane Savener, Junior In
Vocational Educationl said,
"I don't see how juniors and
seniors who need certain
classes are going to get
them."

he said.
Cadwallader continued that

Nancy Copeland, Mortar
Board president, felt, on the
other hand, that the new
method is "certainly worth a
try." She added since there
was such an overflow at times
during the registration period,
she could understand why
they wanted better distribu
tion. Try Wanted
"By the time one is a senior
his more specialized courses
aren't so much in demand that
it will make a big difference,"
said Panhellenic president
Lynne Meyers. "I think It
might be a good Idea to give
the new method a try."
"It might work out okay,
said RAM Council president
Bob Grimmit. "It itemed
fairer to the seniors when
they could pull cards first,
but I suppose that worked a
hardship on underclassmen."
Reaction
Both freshmen and sopho
mores seemed to agree
with the upperclassmen.
Sophomore in Arts and
Science Sue Goldhammer
felt that upperclassmen
should be able to pull their
cards first since "they have
the hours and need the
classes."
Seniority,
"It's a good idea now, but
I won't like it when I'm a
junior and senior," com
mented freshman in Arts
and Science Phil Baron.
"Seniority should rule," he
continued.
"Registration by hours is
a better system," said soph
omore in Teachers Dick
Whitcomb. "It gives people
who have worked hard a
chance to get their classes."
Seniors appeared to be of
one accord.
Jim Harpstreith, Arts and
Science senior, stated, "It
doesn't give any weight to
seniority. It makes me feel
that the University is being
run for the faculty and the
administration, not the stu
dent. It should be the other
way."
"Somebody who is a sen.
ior has the right to register
early," added a senior girl.
Another senior in Arts
and Science, Marilyn Cof
fey, analyzed the new sys
tem in this way: "On the
surface it doesn't seem to
be too fair of an arrange
ment unless they plan to ro
tate the alphabet Next year
if they let a different sec
tion of the alphabet, rather
than the A's, go first, It
might be all right'
Another senior girl con
cluded, "It will not stop
people from pulling cards
for other people. If any
thing, it will increase this.
