4 Terms
1 / 3 More
One-third more students will be able to graduate from,
the University under the four term plan than is possible
under the semester system, Albert E. Diem, vice president of
business administration, said Thursday.
"It is our hope," Diem added, "to eventually attract un
dergr;duate and graduate stu
dents to the summer term in the
same numbers as in other terms!
and by that method to utilize our I
classroom, laboratory and hous
ing facilities to their fullest." '
The student who attends four]
terms each year, Will be able to
graduate in three calendar., years,
Diem explained,
For many years the University,
sought to achieve greater use of
its plant by tacking a special se
ries of . summer sessions onto its
two main semesters of 15 weeks
'each, Diem said. Summer enroll
ment, however, even under an ac
celerated program, never attained
the same heights as it did during
a regular semester, he added.
Dieris departnient will be
using the between term breaks
and the "off" month of Sep
lember for housecleaning, re
pairs and other maintenance
chores. The plant will be in full
operation for the remainder of
the year.
Wayne Bechdel, director of the
conference center for continuing,
education, said yesterday that his
department is attempting to find
ways to increase their program of
conferences, workshops and short
courses during September.
Bechdel added, h . owever, that
because the people who attended
these events in the past are usual
ly employed during September
more investigation is necessary.
"Other universities and the pub
lic schools are not geared -to this
plan and their faculties are un
able to attend courses and work
shops given in September," he
said.

Legend of
Spurs State
The' spirit of the Nittany Lion, the "symbol of our best,"
will lead our team in its fight for victory against the Illini
today
For over 50 years, this lion has represented
strength and Supremacy of Penn State to other
universities across the country.
Our teams have taken the spirit
of the lion and have shown their
strength and courage to be as
powerful as that Of the lion in
Indian days
The Nittany Lion which roamed
Centre County as late as 1886 cre
ated for itself the legend that it
fought with teeth and. claw, nev
er giving up.
In 1904, a freshman baseball
team traveled to Princeton to
be faced with two Bengal tigers,
the newly acquired symbol of
Princeton strength.
Undaunted by the beasts, the
late Joe Mason, 'O7. yelled to the
astonished Princetonians: "Well,
up at Penn State we have a Mt.
Nittany right on campus, wnere
rules the Nittany lion, who has
never been beaten in a lair fight.
So Princeton tiger, look out!"
Returning to the campus. Ma
son worked diligently for four
years to have the Nittany lion of
ficially named the mascot of Penn
State. Today Mason is known as
the father of the ittany Lion.
When the football season of
1939 ended with a series of de
structive demonstrations, the
administration decided, there
was a need for a central spot for
student rallies. To fulfill the
need, the Class of 1940 agreed to
give as their class gift the Nit
tany Lion shrine, which today
stands between Rec Hall and
the old Beaver Field.
1 In addition to serving as the
!symbol of Penn State spirit, the
;statue has served as a target for
,the Lion's opponents' artistic tal
ents. Each year. the lion receives
a new coat of orange, blue or
'some other color paint.
