SC Professor Invents Precon
Homecoming , .	,	.
Now Bigger, Annual Parade
SaysChairman From Activities
Govt. Needs Big Meteorite For Research
Students may find it easier to lear.i through the use of a new ^ device, called Precon. by which they see something but they do j not realize it.
Precon, standing for precon-scious, is the invention of Dr. | j Robert E. Corrigan, associate professor of psychology at SC', j
Basically, Precon is a dev ice j where an image is flashed upon | a screen for an instant, so brief j that the viewer is not aware of; having seen the image, accord-ing to Dr. Corrigan. People can j see an image w hich is one- I twentieth of a second in dura- j tion. but Precon uses a flash of 1 I only one-fiftieth of a second. 1 1 The person is not conscious of | having seen anything, hut his sub-conscious picks up the nies- | sage and retains it for future us/', said Dr. Corrigan.
Precon has tremendous possi- j hilities in many fields including advertising, education and in psychology. Dr. Corrigan explained.
In education, for instance, a studem may "see" an image of , the answer to a problem he is j trying to solve. He does not 1 realize that he has seen the an-sv. or but his subconscious retains enough of the answer to guide him in tlie right direction. This makes it easier for him to learn to solve his problem without providing an actual crutch.
Precon has a wide potential in the field of psychology and in psychotherapy, continued Dr.
I Corrigan. It has displayed amaz-: ing potentials in reaching withdrawn mental patients and it' “power of suggestion may help solve psychological problems.
Dr. Corrigan explained that he had no idea of Precon’s jki-tentiai use in the field of advertising when he first liegan his research. The very fact lhat Precon s potential is somewhat unlimited, its commercial control will have to lie placed in the hands of responsible authorities, he said.
Precon can be used to intersperse commercials throughout a TV show without the viewer even knowing it and without disturbing th continuity of the show. The sponsor would probably give his message at the beginning and the end of each show and during the rest of ihe
show he would flash the name of his product on the screen, according to Dr. Corrigan.
Dr. Corrigan stressed the fact that the commercial use is limited to the degree that the viewer knows what he wants and does not want. Precon can only encouraee a person to buy a product if he already has a desire to do so.
Dentist Tells How to Avoid False Teeth
“Middle age and the need for artificial dentr*es arrive at the same time for one out of every
two Americans.” said Dr. Robert McNulty, denn of the SC'
Sell >ol of Dentistry, in a I _<os Angeles Times article yesterday.
He added th. t there is 110 need for the children of todav to face this same unhappy prospect.
Dental Health Possible
“New methods of filling teeth and treating gum diseases, new techniques for using antihotics and outstanding advances in dental science such as the flu-ridation of water can all add up to a lifetime of dental health for today s children,” he said.
“Dentists know that denial disease today is largely the result of neglect.” Dr. McNulty stated.
However, he also said the.t it is up to the parents of the children to take advantage of the preventative measures that have bee^i developed and are as close as the nearest dentist’s oliice.
According to the American Dental Association. 50 per cent of all two-year-olds have at least one decayed tooth and the average youth at the age of 16 has seven or more teeth that are decayed, missing or tilled.
Prevention Is Weapon
Malocclusion, bndly positioned teeth, is widespread. Periodontal diseases, disorders of the gums and other tooth-supporting structures, often have their start in childhood, the association noted.
Stanford U. Man Speaks This Sunday
Dr. Alexander Miller of Sanford University will deliver the sermon at the Sunday' Morning Worship service this week. His lopic is "Death Shall Have No Dominion.”
This i« a return engagement for Dr. Miller, who spoke atone | of SC’s worship services last yea r.

Professor Miller received his R.A. and M.A. degrees from the University of New Zealand and his Ph.D. from Columbia. He . was ordained as a minister in the Presbyterian Church in 1937 j and has served in churches in New Zealand and London since 1 hen.

This year’s edition of homecoming will be “bigger than ever.” according to Lee Rainer. 1957 chairman of the annual ev ent.
“Expanding the Trolios to a two-night affair and the queen contest to extravaganza proportions have enlarged the homecoming activities, even vviih the loss of thp parade,” Rafner said.
Three factors Considered
Regarding the exclusion of the parade, Rafner explained that his committee had given serious thought to every aspect of the parade before deciding to cut it from the celebration.
“Basically, there were three factors which led to the parade's removal. Probably the most important of these was the great amount of timp required of the fraternity members to get the floats constructed,” Rafner explained.
As the other two factors contributing to the parade's removal. Rafner listed "the immense cost of the projeci and "the fact that there is no place at which to have the parade."

On-again-oif-again Flapper Day is back with 11s to stay today, due to a special vote last night by the Homecoming Policy Committee, the group that originally decided to cut it out.
Homecoming Parade, however, is definitely and irrevocably out of this year’s festivities, according to the committee.
Something Vital Missing
The Policy Committee’s reversal of its previous ruling came aliout as a result of Sen-ator-at-Large Dick Walker’s motion in last Wednesday night's Senate meeting.
Walker felt that something vital was missing from the Homecoming stale of activities and moved to recommend to the Policy Committee that Flapper Day he reinstated. The Senate seemed to agree that the Parade was out of the question this year.
I ndergraduate F»ent
The Policy Committed originally dumped Flapper Day because the alumni a>p not especially interested in it. But, as the Senate suggested, something for undergraduates is certainly not uncalled-lor during Homecoming.
The Policy Committee is made up of Lee Rafner, Homecoming Chairman; Larry Sipes, ASSC president; Lillian Kim. Independent Women's Representative: Stan Arkin. Independent Men’s Representative:	Frank
B.atfa, member of the Fraternity Alumni Council: Dr. Robert Gordon, associate dean of students; Dennis Fagerhult. IFC president: and Chaplain Clinton A. Neyman, dean of students.

Arkin Rapped For Lack of Support Spirit
Senator Upholds Traditiorol Events
Senator-at-large Dick Walker today criticized Stan Arkin, independent men’s representative, for his stand in the Daily Trojan yesterday supporting the elimination of both the parad*» and Flapper Day from Homecoming festivities.
"The prime purpose of Homecoming is to bring the Alumni back to campus and show them as inti' h in the way of spirit and tradition as we possiblv can.’* Walker said.
Too Much Time
Arkin said yesterday that he felt the loss of the two events would be to ihe advantage of the SC students because of the expense and time involved .
"How can we bring the Alums hack on Friday night before the Homecoming game and ofier them nothing more than dinner and a bonfire?” Walker questioned.
He asserted that “not to show them something with enthusiasm and tradition would be to admit a lack of spirit.”
•lust A Compromise
Walker continued that thp “Flapper Day parade is merely ' a compromise and certainly does not lake the place of the Home-j coming parade. It would defi-I nitely not involve nearly the time or money necessary for 1 building floats."
“Stan Arkin" he continued, "is very much against a Homecoming parade of any type and u seems to stem from the fact that the independents never contribute much anyway and they certainly don't stand to gain anything from participating in such an event. Why then should such a seemingly disinterested group preclude the
spirit-conscious rowites from showing our Alumni what the spirit of Troy really is?”

Christol Forecasts GOP Victory In Contest for California Governor
By Dlt K TH \( V
Disavowing hopes of the Democratic Party for an unprecedented victory in the 19."i8 California gubernatorial election, Dr. Carl Q. Christol, associate professor of political science, declared yesterday that "California Republican leaders are all too aware of the mistakes made in the retent Wisconsin Senatorial campaign and won't let the same mistakes cause them to lose the general election in 1958.''
“It seems to me that the position? which Sen. William F. Knovvland and Governor Knight will take will be sufticiently different to offer a real al lei native to tne voters, and that any position that the democratic candidate might take would not vary too much lrom Ihe position of any Republican candidate,"
Dr. Christol said. He is co-faculty advisor for the Irojan Young Republican Club.
“Politicians and political parties receive promotion only through attention, he added, “and this time the Republicans will get attention from both their own party and the Democrats.”
“Politics has been descrilied as ’Ihe art of Ihe possible', and it'< not impossible that the attention given to Republican candidates will strengthen, rather than weaken, the party. lie continued.
Commenting on tne Democratic hope lot a split-vote in the primary Dr. C'Ihi-IkI aid, ’ in my judgement, not many Republicans will Vote Democratic at ihe Republican primary."
Asked what he believes Attorney General Edmund G.
Brown’s chances to be. Dr. Christol replied that he did not believe that Brown could win both the Democratic and Republican primaries. "And if he fails to win the Republican primary. Brown will not win the general election,” he explained.
"Dr. Russell Caldwell is correct in saying that the Democrats have made progress in California.” Dr. Christol admitted. "hut the Republican party can rely heavily 011 the tradition of independence and integrity that has hern developed by such office holders as Governors Warren and Knight. Senators Knovvland and Kuchel and Vice President Nixon.”
Dr. C’hn.stol. who is a member of Kepubliean A-*o.iales also commented 011 Dr. ('aid-well.'' assertion that \ ice President Nixon "might tie relatively unacceptable with his own Re-
Pre-
pu hi lean party" in the sidential election.
“Vicc President Nixons popularity is greater than ever before. He echoes everything in President Eisenhower's policies, and these are the policies that among other things, are for strong adherence to the UN. and respect for maintaining law and order in Little Rock. Ark. Because of his acceptance of Eisenhower's policies. Nixon the inside track t" being the most popular and mo.-t wide!;, known candidate in the 1960 election."
"Democrats in California in recent years, have been unable to held a strong candidate in California. he said, "and the only hojie for a Democratic victors would tie tliroiltfh .1 mniMii-
