‘30 Mark’ Written for Summer
Goodbyes, unpleasant though they may be, are inescapable and because they are unpleasant we don’t intend to linger over our farewell in this, the last issue of the Summer News for 1948.
We do wish to say that we think this Summer Session has been another valuable addition to SC’s calendar. Now that it’s almost over, it seems that the warm weather, crowded classrooms, and parking lot woes were not so bad after all-just as those things always seem in retrospect.
It was most enjoyable to see that enrollment figures once again showed a large number of veterans were taking advantage of the chance to speed up the completion of their education. And, as in previous summers, many visiting teachers and educators from colleges and universities in this country and other parts of the world were on hand. The opportunity to meet these people, both academically and socially, was not the least of the advantages of this Summer Session.
While visiting instructors were carrying the ball here, many members of the
SC faculty were carrying on research activities on campus or in the field— and the field ranged from northern California to Tahiti. It was our pleasure to inform our readers from time to time of the part our university is playing in making this an easier world in which to live.
Of course, you can’t separate academic life from what is going on in the world about you. Indeed, this summer one became increasingly aware that it was no longer possible to remain aloof in "ivy-covered walls.”
The continued rising high prices here at home and the Berlin crisis abroad just can’t be ignored by the student, or anyone else. The presidential conventions this summer indicated to more people than ever before the need for revision in our method of choosing our top governmental official.
Then there was the Thomas committee and its announcement that universities and textbooks are next. On second thought, it’s not so difficult to say goodbye to this summer after all, but still that reluctance persists.
Activity Books Require Photo
Camera-shy students may have trouble getting their student activity books next week, according to information by John Morley, ticket manager.
Facing the camera for a small unlikeness of themselves, students applying for activity books will be placed under a great handicap should they wish to weaken and turn scalper later in the season, rumor has it. With guards checking profiles at the turnstiles, it is believed that reselling of the ducats will be held to the minimum.
$13.50
Students who preregistered this summer will have to retrace their steps to hit the photo station during the regular registration period, officials say. Students will be issued receipts here, for their $13.50, and receive the books after the daguerreotypes have been affixed.
Passes will assume the “new look,” the ticket manager indicated The entire form will be printed on photographic paper and will consist of one sheet of paper folded in half. The tickets for the football games will be in stub form and detached, one at each game.
SOMETHING NEW
Something new for married veterans is scheduled this fall, Morley said, but added that he could-not release the details yet. The new plan replaces the practice of issuing faculty tickets to married veterans allowing them to bring their wives to the games.
Application forms for faculty tickets are available in the ticket office, Morley said, and “ar* available to all full-time faculty members or to members of th« faculty who are carrying at least one-half the allowable load." These should be picked up at one*, he said.
