School in the Summertime -hy Mary Monaghan Summertime and the living was not so easy for 6579 students. They were the ones who braved the heat and sun to attend classes. They were the summer session students. The majority of those attending were seniors but their reasons for staying varied. Guilliord Graybill decided to remain to pursue a summer job that related to his major. I was a research assistant at the Center for Loco- motion Studies, he said I worked very hard to have something to put on my resume. Both Sherry Mock and Sara Moir stayed in State Col- lege to tackle the dreaded ACCounting 400 without the added pressures of the regular semesters. Mock said, Although it was a demanding Class, I'm glad I scheduled it during the summer because the Class wasnt as intense, not as competitive. It's also easier to meet people in your classes since they are smaller. This was the first time I knew my professors and they knew who I was. Moir agreed. The summer is a more relaxed atmosphere to take your claSSes in, I think it's easier to do better than in the Fall and Spring.
