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.
