Four Terms
Will Stop
Mad Rush
By JOAN MEHAN
There is hope in sight for
people who have to make a
mad dash from Tyson to
Mechanical Engineering in
ten. minutes. Under the four
term plan there • will be 20
minutes between classes.
The class day will be made-up
of periods numbered one through
nine lasting 75 minutes each. Lab
oratory periods will be numbered
12 to 15 and will last two hours
and ten minutes. The fall time
table will list courses as being of
fered during a certain period and
not an hour, John E. Miller, sched
uling officer, said. The time seg
ments corresponding to these pe
riods will be placed in the front
of the booklet.
The three morning periods will
run from 8 to 9:15, 9:35 to 10:50
and from 11:10 to 12:25 p.m.
The fourth period will run from
12:45 p.m. to 2 p.m. No student
will be permitted to schedule third
and fourth period classes on the
same day because he wouldn't be
able to have a lunch period, Miller
added.
The lunch period in the dining
halls will probably extend from
11:45 a.m. to 1 p.m. to accommo
date students having either a
third or fourth period class, Rob
ert C. Proffitt. director of food
service, said yesterday. The break
fast and dinner periods will prob
ably remain the same, Proffitt
added.
The fifth, sixth and seventh pe
riod classes will be scheduled
from 2:20 to 3:35, 3:55 to 5:10 and
from 5:30 to 6:45. Students who
eat in the dining halls will not be
scheduled for seventh period
classes, Miller said.
Evening classes will run from
7:05 to 8:20 and from 8:40 to 9:55.
The laboratory periods desig
nated at 12, 13, 14 and 15 will run
from 8 to 10:10 a.m. 10:10 to 12:25
p.m., 12:45 to 2:55 p in. and 3 to
5:10 p.m. respectively.

Sarcasm Outsells
Hearts, Flowers
By POLLY DRANOV
"I'm _ not sending you a
funny Valentine, I think it's
funny enough that I'm send
ing you a Valentine."
If the spirit of Valentine's Day
seems somewhat misplaced in this
line from a card, students don't
seem to feel so. With , the tradi
tional hearts-and-flowers-day fast
approaching, downtown me r
chants report that sales of con
temporary Valentine cards are
!booming.
A host of strange "nebbish-y"
characters pictured on the cards
express their interpretations of
'the Valentine spirit with such say
:ings as "According to an ancient
Indian charm, this is supposed to
make you fall in love with me.
Well, I don't care what effect it
has on you, but I sure have a
crush on the greeting card clerk!"
For the more traditional
thinking student, there are the
"for real" hearts and flowers.
One sales clerk commented,
"The fussy cards sold, are most
ly personalized for 'mother'."
These cards are the lacy, flow
ery type, reminiscent of old
time Valentines, she said.
One card company seems to
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
want to attract the Communists
as customers. It put out a card,
illustrated with a Russian in full
regalia, including fur hat, wish
ing a "Happy Vantentinski Day,
Comrade" to its supposedly Red
recipient.
The ordinary size Valentine
has acquired a big brother
Giant Size. One_ boy was seen
leaving a store yesterday with
what looked like a long, thin
bulletin board but it turned out
to be an extra large Valentine
card. How he got it into the
mailbox remains a mystery of
the week.
For the more cynical who want
to get into the spirit - of things,
there is one card which asks "Do
you know what makes the world
go round? ... Gravitational pull
.. • Happy Valentine's Day any
how!"
Although these departures from
tradition may not have the true
spirit of the day, there is one con
solation: at least the thought was
there.
