TWO VISITORS . . . Caroline Allison, junior in elementary edu
cation from Springfield, talks with Chuck Landis, a member of
the Nittany Grotto, and her "spirit chaser", a mask given her by
friends. Carolinehas been in the Centre County hospital for eight
Weeks with a broken leg. She splintered the leg badly while trying
p use a ski jump.
`Unlucky Day
Says Injured
"My Friday the,l3th came a day late."
" This remark was made by Carolyn Allison yesterday after
spending the last eight weeks with her right leg in traction at
Centre County Hospital in Bellefonte.
Carolyn, a junior in education from Springfield, landed
ik the hospital after a skiing ac-I
cldent which occurred while she
was on a trip with the Outing
club at Boalsburg on Mar. 14.
, Carolyn broke her leg when
-she tried to go off. a jump while
she was waiting for, he snow to
,get good." A recent snowfall
had made the slope slushy and
members of the Outing Club
were practicing their jumps to
pass the time.
Yesterday, for the fir s t time,
since that day, Carolyn left her
room to spend an hour on thel
hospital sun porch. Taking Caro- 1
lyn to this porch was quite al
project. Carolyn and her bed and
traction all had to go together.'
' This trip was made with flags'
flying. When the Outing Club
triade its Easter trip to Old Forge,
N.Y., some of its members
brought back six of the brightly
colored flags used on the ski slope
td decorate the traction bar of
her bed.
In addition to the flags, the
area around Carolyn's bed is
decorated with a mock voodoo
mask made in a University art
class. The mask, Carolyn says,
is to keep away the evil spirits.
A stuffed rhinocerous serves to
protect her, while some Siamese
fighting fish, all of a quarter of
an inch long, provide entertain
ment.
One thoughtful soul brought
Carolyn a small dumbell to keep
her from getting weak. Her favo
rite amusement, nowever, is us
ing a squirt gun to greet doctors,
nurses and unsus ecting visitors.
Carolyn will h. ve to forego or,
By BARBARA PUNK
at least, postpone her plans to
spend her summer as a waitress
at a resort in Wyoniing. After her
cast is• put on in approximately
two more weeks, she will have
to spend another week or two in
the hospital. After her release,
she will have to keep the cast on
for another three weeks.
Carolyn has skiied with the
Outing Club for the last two years
and has skieed before when she
lived in Massachusetts. When
asked if she would ski again her
reply was, "Of course. I don't
know if I'll jump, but I'll ski.
It's, a wonderful sport; you should
try it." .

I dean of summer sessions.

6^Week session will be held that
afternoon. Those people whc;
are going to register for either
of these sessions should note
carefully whether they register
in the morning or afternoon of
June 8, he said,
This will be the first time since
1947 that the two 6-week sessoins
will run concurrently with the
regular 3-6-3 week sessions, Wea
ver said. During the war period
this system was in operation and
later the plan was modified so
that only science students went
under the two 6-week sessions
while everyone else was under the
3-6-3 week plan.
Weaver said that the Univer
sity calendar was__ modified to
meet requirements of the war
period in cooperation with the
government. The University
changed to a three semester plan
for one year and finally to the
three summer sessions which in
eluded -two 6-week periods.
