BY VARIEID ACTIVITIES Though attendance at Summer School is down from the peak reached during the regular college year, emollment is on a definite incline. Most commonly attending sum- mer school are students wishing to pick up a class, or to graduate in three years, in addition to many graduate and former students who come back to work on degrees or take refresher courses. Classes start at 7:15 and are over early in the afternoon. Saturday classes, for the past summers at least, are endured with only slight frowns. Weekends, as such as com- monly known, are nonexistent. But the majority of afternoons are free for recreational activities, or em- Ployment in many cases. The atmosphere at summer school is completely different from the regular term, Union rooms that were once clogged with heavy Smoke now breathe a little freer Of box lunches and voices of ex- perienced teachers. Ice cream, the favorite .summertime dish, hits many a stomach in place of heavier foods, at least over the union counters. Class hours are longer usually two hours a day for each class. But faculty members, proving their hu- man side, relinquish their periods briefly for short middle of the class breaks. Students, along with profs, it is believed, heartily welcome these breathers. .A limited offering of courses is common to summer school, with many electives being eliminated. Common load for each of the two sessions is 8 or 9 credits per ses- sion. Payment per class hour is also raised. Students taking part time loads, escape the student activity and union fee. f-1,,m Q , A - From little acorns lit Summer school students, hear the swintiging music of Doc Evans' Dixieland Ban . 1 Mr. Hcsla, director of Field Service, oversees the special registration of incoming Freshmen. tle oaks grow.
