Let's Stop This Game
Two weeks ago about 300 students, in an effort to enroll early, were caught using photostatic early enrollment permits and stolen registrar stamps.
Perhaps the University should consider a check list containing the names of the students who are to enroll early. This list could be checked by the person at the early enrollment table.
These students who were caught have been or will be dealt with by the University's Disciplinary Committee. They will perhaps lose some of their rights and privileges or will just be subject to nothing more than a late enrollment fee and having to spend a little time in the dean of student's office.
The problem is not with these students, however; they have broken the rules and have been caught. The problem now is, how the University plans to handle this situation so that it won't happen again.
This is only one idea among many that could be used to stop most early enrollment violations. This idea seems to check all present ways to get through the early enrollment lines. However, to stay ahead of the students' agile brain the best way yet seems to stay ahead of the student. The administration could change certain procedures every one or two semesters with no set order. Then even the agile brains would have a rough time staying ahead of the University.
To many students this is a game. A game in which you aren't hurt too much if you lose and if you win you have the distinction of having put something over on the University.
If the University is going to play this silly game the least they can do is cheat too by changing the rules every once in awhile.
This idea would not be as complicated as it sounds. There are three tables for early enrollment students. There are only about 800 students enrolling early. These 800 students are not all able to get in the door at the same time, but have a certain time which they are supposed to go through enrollment.
With at least eight different periods of time which these students are to be admitted early and with three checkers, this means that there would only be about 100 students every hour to be admitted, or about 35 to every checker.
A list with 35 names on it wouldn't be hard to check against the permit itself. Then the permit wouldn't have to be ripped up, but could be stamped and sent through with the student. His adviser could check the early enrollment card before he began to enroll the student.

Your Mind Is Not Your Own
Our minds may not be our own if the newest advertising selling gimmick finds a buyer. The new device is an unheard and unseen 1/3,000-of-a-second commercial flashed many times across a movie or television screen.
The owner of the device. Subliminal Projection Co., Inc., perfected the gadget last fall and made a number of tests to prove there are great implications, should the device be used in mass communications.
The first test was conducted on television in England when the sentence "Pirie breaks world record" was flashed across television sets many times. Told of the test, viewers called the television station with their reactions. Twenty persons called to say they got a subconscious reaction indicating "somebody broke a record or something."
In the United States, a movie theater gave a 6-week test of the device with the selling message asking for patrons to buy more popcorn and Coca Cola. At the end of the test period results showed a 57.5 per cent increase in pop corn sales and an 18.1 per cent increase in Coca Cola sales.
Just recently a Canadian Broadcasting Co. television show featured the unnoticed advertisement 240 times in a half hour. The message was "telephone now." Viewers were asked to report their reactions. CBC reported a large number of persons had telephoned in wanting to know what the message was.
The implications from these tests are numerous. One of the better advantages would be the lessening of weariness coming from so many commercials following each other. Also there would be added entertainment time.
However, the device could be used for manipulation of minds by politicians and governments. We could become a nation of psychotics from the frustrations of stocking up in the kitchen a tremendous assortment of products advertised by subliminal projection.
There is also the possibility the devilish commercials might cancel each other out. A glance at a sign on the top of the television set saying "Don't" might counteract the message.
No matter how you approach the subject of subliminal commercials, seriously or jokingly, it is apparent that an agency to control the use of such commercials must be developed by the country soon.

"When you can stand on your doorstep in Northfield, Minn., before dawn on a cold February morning and for three minutes can watch Sputnik II move across the sky, it is pretty hard to talk about staying within our own borders and avoiding foreign entanglements."
