This, he said, would make it a perfectly natural tendency for students to attend the Univer sity’s summer quarter or session, whichever is adopted. The possibility of extending the school term from 180 to 220 days—perhaps through a 6-day school week or a cutback of holidays—was discussed at Gov. George M. Leader's news con ference Thursday. The Associated Press reported last night that Rep. Hiram G. An drews (Cambria), House Demo cratic floor leader, has announced support of the principle. . Through a public'relations pro gram addressed to parents and high schools, Dennis said, • the idea of year-round classes could be promoted. He said the sum mer session now is attended by one-third as many students as en roll during the regular school year. He predicted that this could be increased to at least two-thirds with a public relations program. Another factor which might, keep students out of summer sessions is the need of work then in order to pay all or part of iheir expenses. But one senator said this would be solved partially by an ever increasing number of scholarships being awarded by federal and : expression even in music. —r~r, r; —rr—r — ■ I• i /L* f R I 1 I II m .I He tells of everything with the Ammaturo Joint Chiefs Breakup Asked by “vr „ r E .g ■■■ Staff memoers .-md candidates WASHINGTON, Dec. 13 (IPJjand four star rank” from all the chief o[ staff, said Ute Bissl^ A veteran career officer, Lt.| se S^ ce c . , . . ground forces are equipped with.dom is retold but from the point Hetzel Union " L. ~, L . i The Senate group, resuming its;missiles and rockets “to which we of view of one who has fa-rt ~ Gen.

Dennis also said the opportun ity to finish college in three years [would be an added incentive for [students to take advantage of | summer terms. j. Another advantage cited for a; [summer term was the prospect of getting high school graduates to start right in at the University. - But many said they doubled : that high school students i would relish ihe prospect if | jumping right into college. One senator even said, "And I'm not so sure we want them then." The ■ present summer session does not .offer many sequential courses. Therefore, some senators felt an added incentive for stu dents to attend during the sum mer would be a timetable includ ing many more courses which are prerequisites for others. A plan for starting such a sys tem next summer was proposed in the University Senate in Octo ber.. Senate Calendar Committee Chairman Fred M. Coombs at that time asked senators to con sider providing a 9 to 12 weeks program next summer “with the thought in mind that the students in the program would graduate in 3. or 3ti years.” Departments ’were polled on the idea.
