They were asked these two questions: Are you in favor of Penn State retaining the three-semester-a year program? Would you attend another sum mer semester? Charles R. Wilson, 3rd. "I am in favor of a three semester program. Being an ex-GI, and having been out of school for a long time, would like to finish school as soon as possible." Douglas Geier, 6th. "I do not think that the three semester plan is too good. One does not learn as much because there is not as much time given .to any one subject. I would not spend another whole summer semester here at Penn State." Irwin S. Monsein, 6th. "I'm an ex- GI and we need and want to finish soon. Some of us are getting pretty old." Norman Hardy, Ist. "I am in favor of three semesters •a year be cause the weather is much nicer. I would attend another summer semester if they have one." Ephriam Catsiff, Bth. "No, I've been through two summer semes ters here, and one at Drexel. The strain is too much, and you can't work as well in the summer. I would never do it over again." Gerry Brown, 3rd. "I am not in favor of the three semester plan and would not come back another summer." Bob Yurkanin, Bth. "I think they should retain the present program for two years, speaking from the ex 'Gl's viewpoint. But the faculty is being overworked and it doesn't do the students any good to change profs during the semester. When the ex-GI problem is solved and the majority of freshmen are right out of high school, we Should go back to the old program." Daniel Podell, sth. "I am in favor of three semesters a year. Many of us have had our college life in- Servicemen Sign Corner Room Register "Have you signed the register, sir?" asks a pretty cashier, and an other serviceman reaches for pen and ink to put his name to a new innovation in the Corner Room, the Servicemen's Register. Alongside his name, the GI or ex-GI. as the case may be, is asked for his rank, outfit, State College address, phone number, date of signature, and how long he ex pects to be in State College. Ap proximately 40 signatures have al ready been recorded and an alpha betical index is kept up to date so that you may consult it for the names of your friends. first it was a 'iLoan-a-cigarette, borrow-a-cigarette" box. • Now "Servicemen's Regis te r" sign catches the eye, and underneath the large letters of the sign more modest letters reauest: "All return ed or , visiting servicemen are ask ed to sign." Semester Plan Favored terruPted and then have come back. Three semesters a year will enable us to get out into the work ing world sooner." Vaughan !Stapleton, 7th. "I am definitely in favor of going back to the two semester plan. [Now, it is too much school. The profs as well as the students need a rest. The two semester plan gives you an incentive to work harder." Abe Levy. 3rd. "tLooking at it from the viewpoint of a veteran or the older student entering as a fresh man, I think the summer semester has its advantages. This is my third straight semester and I per sonally don't think it has created any 'study fatigue.' As far as I'm concerned the number of civilian students who have attended the summer semester is proof enough that it should be continued. Look ing at it from the viewpoint of an overworked faculty, I can under stand why the question should be given much consideration. Let's hear what they have to say about it." Gene Fulmer, Ist. "Yes, I am in favor of it and I think it will help the ex-Gls who are far behind in their education. The education emergency began in 19411, and it still prevails, if not more so. ,How ever, it is true that the faculty has been. over-taxed the past four years." Sid Eboch, sth. "I don't favor the three semester plan, 'but I would go next summer because it will get me cut sooner. I should think the 'College would consider the four-quarter plan. This enables a student to acquire the same. `amount of schooling, but provides more varied work advantages." Howard Kleidman, 3rd. "No, I am not in favor of the retention of the three semester plan. I find that at tending school without one ex tended vacation a year is quite a strain, especially after a four-year break from schooling before com ing to Penn State. During wartime, the summer enrollment has been small, and a summer semester next year would undoubtedly be even less successful. Then again, the three semester plan does not coincide with the schedule of other colleges, or high schools. Give the teachers a break too, they need it!" Jack Strickland, 3rd. "I am not in favor of the accelerated program because going to college continu ously becomes very monotonous and too much interest is lost." Dave Lundy, 6th. "No, it splits classes up and .some will attend the summer semester and some won't. The profs go on vacation in the middle of the semester and the substitute instructor repeats material, and sometimes, doesn't cover it at all on the assumption that it has been covered. However, Service Organization To Hoid Second Party The second GSO servicemen's party of the semester will be held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Schlow, 505 E. Fairmount avenue, 2 p.m. Sunday.

"Fcr other foundation no man lay, that that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ." 1 Cor. 3:11 From the Seal of The Westminster Foundation. Only Three More Sundays Remain! I would attend another summer semester." Florence Zankel, Bth. "Everyone is pretty tired out, the professors too. You can get a better education with two semesters and a vacation than. with the present system. However, I believe some arrange ment should be made for veter ans." Rosemarie Crock, 6th. "Since the boys have been out of school so long, the school should stay open during the summer for two 01 three more years. Yes, I woul6 come for another summer semes ter." Dee Portnoy, sth. "It should be of fered for those who want to take it and feel they can stand the work. This is already my second summer semester." Margaret A. Green, 4th. "No, it's too tiring. Staying out a semester causes one to lose too much. I wouldn't come .back as my grades prove a vacation is very profit able." June First, 6th. "I don't think that the accelerated program should be 'continued unless for the benefit of the ex-servicemen. Even then the students and faculty would be so tired they could not do their best. I would definitely no.t come back for another summer semester." Ann Patterson, 4th. "I like the three semester plan becaUse the servicemen coming back won't want to spend the regular time in college. They'll want to get out as. soon as possible. I would definite ly come back for another summer semester." The.
