"Although the lemma] of all 4 o'clock classes from the College schedule is the most obvious solution," Director Dudek said, "moving the clock ahead an hour and then setting dinner hour back one hour would icm edy the situation temporarily" "An extra hour of sunlight would aid in establishing health habits among students and would train them for a mole worthy use of then leis ure time," he said. "A change is also layered by summer school officials."

C , this week. in the past several years that the College no longer has adequate pro visions for recreational periods, he stated Formerly, the comparatively few 4 o'clock classes made a change in the time schedule unnecessary. "In the fall, however, when stand ard tome is most desirable, some other provision must be arranged for the 4 to 6 o'clock recreational per led," the director of athletics said. "This is why the abolition of 4 o'clock classes IS so urgent." The argument that students rrould lose an hour of then regular study period if a two-hour afternoon rec reational period was instituted here would not hold true, he said. Stu dents would tire of play Just as soon as they do under the present scheme but they would receive the benefits of the mho hour of sunlight. Tilitigtatt 4.
