TUESDAY. JANUARY 10. 1961 MI Plans to Avoid Snowy 'Rock Hunts' (This is the ninth in a series of articles describing the adjust ments planned in the various colleges due to the four-term year.) Nobody will have to go rock hunting in the snow next year thanks to changes planned by the College of Mineral Industries in view of the four-term plan. Elementary geology classes (such as Geology 20) which require field trips as part of the course program will not be offered during winter terms un der the new system since "you can't find rocks buried under a foot of snow," according to John D. Ridge, assistant dean of the college. Most MI courses which many students in other colleges take such as Geology 20. Meteorol ogy 300 and Geography 20 will probably be scheduled for one double-period lab, Ridge added. Just scheduling all the students for lab periods presents a serious problem, he pointed out. Since double-period labs cannot be scheduled over the lunch hour, the amount of time available is reduced to one-third, Another problem is caused by those courses which now require three hours of lab. Most of these courses will be run on a schedule of one double-period and one single-period lab. Although few courses and credit changes are planned by the college, some changes are slated to reduce the work load in any one term. A few three credit courses may be divided into a two-credit course and a one-credit course to be taken in two different terms, Ridge said. The two present curricula in the college will probably be com bined into one Geological Sciences curriculum, Ridge said. Present freshmen and sophomores will elect to graduate under either program, he added. Summer requirements within the college are slated to remain the same. MI majors will continue to attend a five-week summer camp and will take an additional three credits of practical work during the spring term.

The present book exchange, which sells only school supplies, was started as an experiment in 1949, two years after the student government Cabinet first had its request for a co-op store rejected by the Trustees' executive com mittee. It started in a corner in the Temporary Union Building (now the Conference Center). Since 1952 various requests to the Trustees have resulted in an increase in the types of supplies carried by the BX, Since 1955 reports and recom mendations have come out of var ious student government organ izations calling for a full-scale bookstore.
