Students Protest Lenqth ot Lines Frustration and confusion wore the characteristics of registra tion day this term. Most of the students were disturbed by the length of time spent in lines. Evelyn Gosnell, sophomore in liberal arts, said "I don’t mind the line at the Student Union now (about 15 people), but I don't like it when it gets clear down to the street.” Ron Walters, fifth year archi tecture student, added "This is the fourteenth time I've gone through registration and it's still different every term. I wish they would standardize it.” Several students offered sug gestions on how they thought legistration could be improved. Suzanne Horn, sophomore in music and a transfer from Ore gon State, said "At OSC all the advisers and departments are in Gill coliseum. That way you don’t have tp tramp all over the cam pus.” Margot Casanova, junior in business, stated “I think it worked much better when we registered before the end of the term.” - On the other side of the fence, however, is Bonnie Brackin, jun ior in English, who worked in the registration lines. “Registration would not be so bad,” according to Miss Brackin, if students "would be patient and read their directions.” John Woyat. Junior in pre dentistry, seemed to have found the solution, however, which keeps a student calm during the registration rush. "It was easy for me.” Woyat said. “I didn't start until after noon.” • Pope Pius Urges Christians to Build Bridge of Peace VATICAN CITY - (AP) - Pope Pius 'XII has urged the world to transform the current “cold peace” into a true peace as soon as possible. He called upon Chris tians to help build "a bridge of peace” between East and West, but warned anew against Com munist propaganda. Devoted to Peace Like its 15 predecessors, the message was devoted to peace. The 78-year-old head of the Ro man Catholic church recognized that the present cold peace in dicates ‘‘some progress in the laborious ripening of peace prop erly so called." "But," he added, “it is in too vivid contrast with the spirit of cordiality, of sincerity and of brightness that hovers around the cradle of the Redeemer." Peace Conditioned The world's current cold peace he called “only a provisional calm.” Its duration is conditioned upon fear and the varying calcu lations of strength and has noth ing in it of relationships that converge toward a common pur pose that is right and just, he explained. Much of the Pontiff's message was devoted to peaceful coexist ence, which he divided into three sections, coexistence in fear, co existence in error and coexist ence in truth. Only the third, he said, can lead to true peace.
