Continues Today The drive will continue from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. today. Donors have been asked not to appear after 4 p.m. since bloodmobile personnel would be too rushed in getting the blood processed.

Morse, University provost in an article entitled "The Case for Sat urday Classes" in the March is sue of Campus Scope. r TODAY'S WEATHER: CLOUDY AND WARMER Morse traces the history of Sat urday morning classes stating that they were taken for granted be fore World War 11. Following the war, however, Morse said that students began bringing cars to State College and consequently avoided Saturday classes in order to go home. New Scheduling System But three years ago a new sys tem of scheduling went into ef fect and Saturday classes to a large degree were eliminated. Morse said. Students who entered the University in 1952 and since then have come to believe that it is the custom not to have Saturday classes at the University, accord ing to Morse. Morse said that the lack of Saturday classes has led to an in crease in cutting on Friday after noon and a desire to avoid classes Friday afternoon.

More Classes Per Day Thp shortened week meant more class meetings per day, Morse said, with fewer hours spent for preparation between classes. "No student with proper re spect for a weekend at home would be caught carrying with him any books," Morse said, "or if he did take one or two to im press his parents, he would feel guilty of misappropriating his holiday if he so much as cracked one."
