For Autumn Much of the headache will be out of registration this fall, according to Dean of Admissions Robert Burton. This will be due, he said, to the elimination of the paper work that must be done on the day of registration. This paper work, the filling out of numerous forms, will be finished before the signup date. The packet, containing the forms, will be given to the students while they are being counseled, and com.pleted at ~their convenience. So, on the day of registration the student will need only to okay whether classes he desires are open. SUMMER SESSIONS The summer registration will be conducted as it has been done in the past. Students will be able to handle all the steps of fall enrolling, counseling, filling out forms and okaying classes, at one time at the desk in the main office. Registration for summer will be between June 2130 for the classes which begin July 1. EXPECTED ENROLLMENT "We expect about 1,000 students to enroll for summer classes and about 1,800 to sign-up for day classes next fall," said Burton. "Evening course enrollment for next fall is difficult to predict since it varies considerable from semester to semester, but I would expect more than we had this semester." This spring more than 2,500 were enrolled in the evening. Registration for the fall semester will be conducted on two days, September 7-8. But before that time and preferably as soon as possible according to Burton, students will need to have their schedules approved by their faculty advisors. Once okayed, they can then make counseling appointments beginning August 2. EXTRA HELP "During registration we hire two or three students to help with the paper work that must be done in the office. We also shift personnel from other areas into enrolling capacities." RETURNING STUDENTS Returning students will be required to secure a Notice of Acceptance from the admissions office and schedule a counseling appointment. After counseling, a priority card will be needed, then all that's left is to register.

Thomas was born in Marion, Ohio in 1884. He graduated from Princeton University in 1905 and then from Union Theological Seminary in 1911. He held Presbyterian pastorates in New York City until 1918. That year Thomas joined the Socialist pa1ty and sided with the faction opposed to American participation in World War I.
Campus Traffic Enforcement Doubled Now Beginning this week it will cost students $25 to get their car out of hock if they leave it on the campus over three days. This was one of the new rules set down by the administration in order that Palomar might have a safer campus. Starting immediately A. R. Hawkins, Sheriff of San Diego County, and Pinkerton Special Service Authority will be on campus seven days a week iss uing citations. CITATIONS ISSUED Tickets will be issued for the following offenses: speeding, illegal parking, no Palomar campus parking sticker or no registration. (Both must be visible from the outside of the automobile.) Also, automobiles will be towed from the campus if left for three days. Cost to claim an auto is$25. Warnings issued will no longer be ans}Yerable to the dean of students. These will be citations which will require the student reporting to the court, as indicated on the citation.
OUTSTANDING SPEAKER As an outstanding speaker and ~ prolific writer, he became the Socialist party leader in 1926 after the death of Eugene Debs. Thomas has run for President more times than any other person in the history of the United States. He was the Socialist candidate in every presidential election from 1928 through 1948. Thomas won his maximum support in 1932 with 884,731 votes. ANTI-COMMUNIST Strongly anti-Communist, he directed his party into refor.mist rather than radical channels. " Because of the adoption of Thomas' ideas over the years, he has been given much more respect now than 50 years ago when he was considered to be a far !ell. extremist," commented Roy Archer, Political Science instructor. Thomas is being co-sponsored by Young Democrats, Young Republicans, Newman Club, Wesley Club, and the International Club.
WARDEN SPEAKS
Young Republican Banquet Biggest Success of Year "Can the Negro race and the country be advanced at the same time?" Don Warden , guest speaker at a buffet banquet sponsored by the Young Republ icans last Thursday evening, who posed this questio n, is dedicated to the belief that this can be accomplished. He is president of the AfroAmerican Association, an orga nizati on devoted to gaining the same respect for the Negro that has been attained with the Japanese and Chinese-American. Warden was greeted with a standing ovation by the more than 160 guests after what YR president Bob Hicks described as "the la r gest endeavor and greatest success of the YRs this year." Hicks explained the YR program on campus and introduced the guest SJ •eaker after opening remarks by Dr. Harry Mahan, adviser to the group.

needed backing. Warden cited the high school dro p-out situation, and the increasing crime ra tes across the nation as two areas that need the support of the association. AFRICAN DROP-OUTS He stated that 60 to 70 percent of the students are dropp ing out of school and that a large portio n of these are African Americans. He illustrated the tremendous potential of the Negro mind by citing that of those Negroes who do remain in school, 22 JJer cent are "A" students, 36 percent "B" students and 33% "C" students. Many of these are from underdeveloped sectio ns of la rge urban areas. The high crime rates, he said, cannot be expla ined by racial tensions alon e because they occur among members Gf the same race. Both Negroes and white people share this critica l problem.
By increa sing the dig nity and respect for the American Negro, he believes that both of these situations can be alleviated. The Afro-American Association has set up schools across the nation to help develop the American Negro culturally and educationa lly. Factories and businesses are being established to employ the Negro and benefit from his increased skills. MASS MEDIA EXPLANATION In order to reach the nation 's youth the association is engagi ng recording artists to interpret its goals of dignity into the music and rhythms that the Negro appreciates and understands. The organization wants to use the media of the church, television, and radio, which play a significant role in form ing the attitudes, to reach the people and explain its objectives. Warden asks, "Where are we being led?" He believes that the civil rights workers are not solving any of the problems of the Negro, but are merely adding to them. The Afro-American Association, he said, has no political affiliations, but is dedicated only to achieving its goals of dignity and respec t for t he Negro American so that he will, in turn, contribute to the betterment of the entire nation.
