PAGE TWO Engineers Have Lab Troubles „y FA) ALEE ORTON This is the third article in a series on the reactions of pro fessors in the various colleges to the four term system. The four term system has raised special problems in the- College of Engineering- and Architecture, according, to three professors interviewed yesterday. Maurice S* Gjesdalil, head of the mechanical engineering, de partment, said laboratory periods have been affected greatly by the change in programs. Under the four term system, the length of lab periods was increased just as were regular class periods, he said. - As a result, there are fewer sequences in the term and the periods are still not long enough MEAL TICKETS DAILY Except Friday & Saturday LISTEN TO WMAJ 10tl0 nightly For Details | Your Student Plrecloir I ti the Wry to itte 1 New Calle M» Diner l.ueWr Number. flnnHHn The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, with Peter Herman Adler conducting,, and Erick Friedman, Violinist, as guest soloist, will present a CONCERT at 8 P.M.

Gjesdahl said another problem has been to keep the number of students in each, of the limited number of lab sections low. Benjamin A. Whisler. head of the department of civil engineer ing, repeated the necessity for making many rearrangements in the laboratory schedule in order to make experiments fit the time available. He said in his department too, it has been necessary to cut the number of experiments, split classes or combine experiments. However, Whisler said he finds the term system “a very pleasant teaching situation.” There seems to be a “much more leisurely ap proach” with' 75-minute classes and 20-minute breaks between TONIGHT 7:30-9:10' P.M. “SOLID SATIHH . . . » choice piece of movie foolery!” —'Newsweek ALEG GUINNESS as "MAN IN THE WHITE SUIT" FRI. - SAT.
