free u. classes announced Thanks to the efforts of an interested group of students and faculty the Free University concept will be initiated on campus this term. Classes, which are non-credit, will be informal and devoid of the pressures of tests and grades. The instructors, several of whom are students,hope to provide an enjoyable alternative learning experience. Although formal registration for the classes is over, anyone interested is invited to sit in on the opening classes. At this time, registration will be freely welcomed in any classes which are not already filled. Classes will begin the week of October 9th and will be held on campus in the evening. We have been asked to inform all attending students that all vehicals used for night classes must have a registration sticker. If the student attends classes only at night a night sticker may be purchased from the business office at a fee of somewhat less than that of a normal parking sticker. We sin ce rly hope you will take advantage of this oppertunity afforded you by the Free University. The following is a list of courses offered this term, it is hoped that more will be availible for the winter term.

RIGHT ON, JANICE! STATE COLLEGE—Janice Sloane is a Sophomore at Penn State University University Park. Although her parents live in Media, Pa. Janet lives in State College. Miss Sloane wanted to register to vote in the city of State College. The people at the registration point refused to accept her registration. She went to the Civil Liberties Union with her problem, and they accompanied her to the registration point. This time Miss Sloane was allowed to register. This was more than a victory for Janice; it was a victory for all University Park students who live in State College, but who have not had the opportunity to register here. THE CREATIVE CORNER NEW HORIZONS, the campus literary magazine, like many other organizations on campus, is in the process of re-organization. The magazine, which provides an outlet for the creative element on campus, is now excepting material for l its first edition. Anyone with original short stories, poems, drawings, or photographs is asked to contact Tricia Fisher, Dale Walck, or Linda Gallagher. The Drama Club is in the process of reorganizing. Anyone interested in being a student co ordinator or who would be willing to lend their support please contact Mrs. Miller as soon as possible. Proposed schedule changes The Faculty Scheduling Committee, in co-operation with Mr. Schneider, has been working on schedule changes to be initiated Winter Term. The proposed changes will be sumbited to the Faculty and the student body for an open referendum. No date has been set for the voting. The proposal is set up in three alternative schedules incorporating three main issues-- The starting time for the first period, the increase of time between periods from five to ten minutes, and the elimination of the seventh period as a scheduled class period. The three alternative schedules will run as follows with the first number being the beginning time for first period and the second the end of the seventh period: 8:00 - 5:45 8:15 - 6:00 8:30 - 6:15 It should be noted, however, that the seventh period will NOT be scheduled as a regular class period. The seventh period would be left, instead, to be utilized by the instructors and students as time for make-up classes, run-over labs, and as a common hour when clubs and other organizations on campus could meet. Futher information concerning the re-scheduling or the voting on this matter is not available at this time, however, additional information will be posted on the bulletin boards as it becomes available. $$ Of Student Intrest $$ From time to time, the COLLEGIAN will publish notes of interest from the campus and surrounding areas. Students have it rough as it is, and any information we can provide to make life easier will be in this column.
