PAGE FOUR Editorial Better To_ Be Leader Than Await Inevifabie The University joined the vanguard of educational institutions which are leading the way toward increased educational opportunity to the nation's youth when it formally adopted the 4-term plan. And the University contributed something new and original to the drive for fuller and more intensified academic operation of the country's institutions of higher learning in this unique 4-term plan. • It departs from the traditional semester system. It is neither a quarter nor trimester system but rather com bines the good points of both. It offers the acceleration of the quarter system while maintaining the semester credit base with the innovation of the longer class period. Only the basic plan has been adopted. It will require a concentrated effort during the next nine months by all the departments of the University to plan their courses and work out the innumerable details which will ac company the switch in systems. Sputnik awakened the big push in American educa tion that will and must continue if the United States is to maintain Its place as-a leader: of-nations, and 'for .that matter, if democratic institutions are to survive anywhere in the world. In taking this step now, the University has become a leader among American universities rather than waiting to join the inevitable following. The push for year-round academic operation has thus far centered in the mid-west. And if you also count Pitt as a mid-western school (as many do), Perm State is the first major university . in the East to go on year-round operation on such a scale. . There was considerable pressure for the University to make more complete use of its multi-million dollar physi cal plant financed by the taxpayers and the students. But even this reason is overridden by the more im portant responsibility of providing an intensified educa tional opportunity for students already enrolled and an accelerated program to extend that opportunity to more of the state's youth.
