I had a field course--was in South Dakota this summer. But I've been in summer school before. Some- times it seems like there isn't enough to do around here, but of course, that could be because there's a different crowd of people here . . .teachers . . .they don't gear a summer session as much toward the younger kids. I always get a kick out of the crummy movies they always show in the DeKalb theaters during the summer. Mark Hein Geology--Graduate Student N'-mal i f 1,.i,,,Y..W R, . ,. . .X .3 .W wet ,fe Al ISudsI Turner Speech Communications--Senior By coming to post session, I tried to compensate for what I lost by not going to summer school. You don't know how much it means to me--summer school. I'd rather sit here talking about getting high rather than listening to what they Iconstruction workersl had to say, having to swear with them, talk- ing filthy all the time. I'd like to see post session last another three-four days longer . . . I had an interesting class . . . got to know my head, other heads. I wanted to come here in the first place, but then I found out I had to . . . had two decent classes-- didn't get very good grades, but I enjoyed them, when I went.

Things like free candy, free watermelon and free ice cream.

During summer school Douglas Cohen Acc ountancy--Senior I met a girl . . The weather was nicer. . less people around . .ate at Burger King about twice a week. 5. if , In . F Jenny Dillman Undecided major--Sophomore I liked both my classes. . .got a lot out of them. I worked at Del lVIonte for one day--that was enough. It's not worth it . . . for S1.6O an hour, picking caterpillars oft the conveyor belt. Two out of three of my courses I didn't feel were worthwhile. One was very good. I think a lot of the material in summer school is im- material. I don't think they lin- structorsl get to the base of the course . . .there isn't enough discus- sion. I don't like the way they ap- proach teaching here. . .they don't give students an opportunity to participate, especially in intro courses . . . too much dry lecture. Kim Silvern History--Sophomore Brett Brasher History--Junior I didn't go to summer school this year, but I worked for living and learning last year . . . I know what it's like. Teachers don't understand what the undergrads want . . .they seem more interested in their per- sonal research than in getting to the students. I don't like this school . .. must be a better one. I came to summer session to get courses I couIdn't get in during the year . . . there's a more lax atmos- phere in the summer . . . no people. . . all the broads are gone... I was able to take weekends off, go camp- ing, riding my cycIe. Donald Walter I8aT-Senior

Getting together in May I I After last year's riot stricken lVlay Fete, the calm atmosphere of lVlay Times, lVly Time was welcomed by all. Drew lVlacAfee, chairman of the Fete committee, said that the event was one of the best, if not the best, we've ever had. lVlay Fete '71 broke from tradition and eliminated royalty selections and island acts.
