Dear Dr. Allen,

In having students audit our physical education classes, we
have simply been following the orders which have come from the
college office, When the auditor cards were first put into use,
it was because the college office did not want non-credit
physical education courses to appear on the students' enrollment
cards. They said an auditor s card must be signed by the
student, instructor and Dean and returned to the college office.
They have known all the time that the students participated
in the activity, because they have abked me to check and see
that each auditor paid the same fees as the student who had
to pay the locker and towel fee. 5

I think a student should be allowed to take physical
education for no credit if she so desires. She may be more
interested in an activity course than in going to the Union
Building and spending the same number of hours over & coke and
bridge.

Our department has always preferred having the student put
her physical education course for no credit on her enrollment.
card. Then the scribe could have made out her class card instead
of us bothering with the auditor's card. It would have saved
time and trouble for both the department and the student.

We have simply followed orders issued from the college
office and I hardly think it is right we should be placed in
the light of having broken University rulings. If the college
office had told us, at the beginning of the semester, they
wished to have this new order followed (one that we have always
preferred) we would gladly have followed that procedure.

Sincerely

to prea
