Second Semester Telescoped Two Weeks
Block Week To Be Retained
Spring Recess Included Semester To End Feb. 5
June 1st is the date set for com- mencement instead of June 15, as was
previously announced, stated Presi- dent J. Nelson Norwood in a special report to the Fiat this morning.
There will be the usual review days and a five day Spring recess for the College of Ceramics, The Liberal Arts College and the School of Theology.
The decision has been made after extensive consideration and on the basis of conferences with students, faculty heads, heads of other colleges and state officials. The change allows practically the same number of class and laboratory hours as does the dis- placed calendar.
It will allow two weeks more of earning time for employed students in the spring and sufficient time for a considerably extended summer ses- sion if further developments and ma- tured judgment make that desirable.

The State authorities have issued no orders on the subject of calendar changing, although they hope for some approach to similarity of plan.
At the Albany meeting on Monday,
twenty-one colleges in the State re- ported definite decisions to close the second semester earlier and eight had decided against it; a very large num- ber had made no decision.
Coeds Should Teach Mathematics, Science
"At present there is1 no shortage of teachers of academic subjects in the cities- of Buffalo and New York," Is a statement received today by Dr. Jo- seph SeidMn from the Assistant Com- missioner for Teacher Education in Albany.
"There will be no serious shortage of such teachers' in the up-state area,"
continued the dispatch, "provided col- lege officials* advise more young wo- men preparing to teach to qualify for science and mathematics. Men with mathematical and scientific training are leaving teaching to enter military and industrial services. They must t*e replaced by qualified women teachers."
NYA Director To Leave Sooner Than Expected
Following receipt of a telegram on Monday noon, Charles N. Roberts, Jr., Director of the NYA Centers here, will report for work at the Curtis Propeller Division of Curtis Wright Airplane Corp., in Caldwell, N. J., Monday, January 26, instead of Monday, Feb- ruary 2. He will be employed in the contract and order department.

Ag-Tech To
Speed Exams •
Following the recently announced intensified' school program, the Ag- Tech mid-year exams are being held Wednesday, Thursday and Friday with most of them coming in the first two days. This is two weeks ahead of the schedule planned in September.
Some classesi are planning to meet on Friday, but generally, registration and examinations will be completed by that time and the student body will take a three-day "breather" before starting the six-day week on Monday.
Registration in free periods with course supervisors1 during examin- ations is following the usual plan.
The six-day week schedule, which will lead to completion of the semester on Friday, April 10 is based on a five- day-schedule with Monday's classes meeting on the first Saturday; Tues- day's on the second Saturday;
Wednesday's on the third Saturday, and so on each day's classes meeting on a Saturday according to their turn.
In regard to student opinion of the intensified schedule, instructors ex- pressed a belief that seniors as well as freshmen are "generally pleased with th change".

Faculty players will be: Coach Alex Yunevich, Coach James McLane, Coach Dan Minnick, Prof. C. E. Gal- breath, Prof. Don Schreckengost, Prof. Bror Anderson, Bob Humphrey, and Prof. Bob Brown.
