Under the recently unproved "third semester" elan -to telescope Penn State's courses into three years of study, the added semester is scheslige.d Ito run from May 18 to August 28. And because peniors in .Pennsylvairtia high schools can hardly graduate before the end of May, incoming fresh men are not slated to start college until ;Time 8. • "That comprises a 12-week semester, Which, col- Aege officials aPparentiY thinly, is the minimum term for 4,,sempster.

Few will doubt the value of is period to orient the freshman to methods at Penn State: And who will deny that a major adjustment has to :take pike in moving from one environment to .one vastly different? Certain placement tests 'l,l re necessary and counselling periods have prov ed valuable. Onie of the movements underfoot is a plan to vponsor a freshman damp a few miles_from the College several days prior to starting. It is un official and has not been presented as yet. Still time _element creeps up, the camp . isn't .on c:allnpus and the questirm of how to handle over 1,000 freshmen in a small camp becomes pertinent. There's the problem. How will it be solved? —P. I. W. IFC Clarification In view of Interfraterrity Council's approaching presidential election, a word of clarification is in order as to just who is eligible to run for this office. Although, under 'new legislation . Pass.o by the Council last Spring stating that members of the Council should be fraternity presidents, there is nothing to prohibit any fraternity junior JErom being a candidate for Interfraternity Coun .cil president. Very often fraternity presidents are men well ).-mown and liked in their own houses but not particularly well inf.,rmed about All-College problems or active in campus functions. C',:tndi dates for the Council president's job of coordinat ing and leading fraternities should not be limited .4:43 these house presidents, as is the common cam pus opinion. It might be advisable to have junior repre bentatives on the Council as well as seniors. This, L:o that juniors interested in the Council would tuot have to break in cold without experience ',,hen they take over the offices and the running of the Coun'il their senor yelr. Larry T.

Some years ago when George Schenkein '4l was a fledgling, studyir.e' journalism under that old story-teller, Lou Bell, he pricked up his ears as he listened to Lou advise the class of would be-newshounds how t. get news from a hospital staff. "Get to know 4omebody who works in the hospital," quoth Lou. "It can be a doctor, an interne, a nurse., or iust a janitor, but get to know somebody well. Then use the tips you get from your hospital frie:;, , ,l to check up on stories." This is the straight stuff, George thinks to him self. So when he goes to work for the CanonS 7 . burg "Notes," being a conscientious chap, George gets to know somebody up at the local cut-up house. But George is extra umscientious. Now, Emily Cori. informs us, he's engaged to be married .to Viola Taylor, 'a nurse in the Canonsburg % hospital. Which just goes to show what a college education will do to you if you take it too seriously.

Before the • submarine could score a direct hit, however, the destroyer released a few .depth charges. "She will no torpedo another ship, ever.," Tilston added. simply. Their six days in the United States have left a sea of new im pressions on the boys. They ex pressed admiration of the friend lines's of Yankee girls, surprise lat the :lumber of "commoners" going to American colleges, and amazement at the variety and "frillinc-.Fs" of American food. Theie conception of American college life is entirely changed. It isn't a er.nstant maze of football games and cheerleading coeds in shorts and sweaters after all— despite what they'd seen in the movies. Most startling to them, however, is the Yankee system of rushing 'around . all day and making "whoops p" all night.
