Students Support
Speed-up Program.
In U. S. Colleges
- By Associated Collegiate Press
Almost half the high school stu
dents in the United States favor
an eccelerated college program
■that will enable them to complete
their educations more quickly, as
called for by present emergency.
This was revealed today when
results of a survey conducted by
Northwestern University among
9,354 high school students
throughout the country were an
nounced.
Forty-eight per cent of the stu
dents queried said they preferred
one of three types of accelerated
programs to the traditional four
year course with annual summer
vacations. Percentages ranged
from 35 per cent on Chicago’s
North Shore to 54 per cent in the
western states.
Fifty per cent of the men and 45
per cent of the girls favored accel
eration, but indications were that
many men voted against speed-ups
because they must work during
Summer vacations.
Most popular of three suggest
ed faster programs was one call
ing for three regular years and
two Summer quarters, averaging
16 or 17 hours, with graduation
coming in June of the third year.
This was selected by 20.6 per cent
of those voting, or 43.5 per cent
of those favoring acceleration.
