Four-Term Year Plan
Four-Term Year Plan
Since the four-tterm year is proposed for the University, and a committee is studying the plan, the plan has been sent to correspondents in the few institutions that have tried the plan to write of its workings. In Washington and Oregon the plan has been in use only a few weeks. A report from the former institution was printed recently.
University of Oregon, Nov. 7. —The four-term plan was established at the University of Oregon this year to make it possible for students who will have to leave for the federal service to get credit for short periods of work.
The first term began October 1 and will finish December 21. This will permit those students who are called in the second draft to get credit for the entire term. The second term begins on January 2 and ends March 22, just before spring break. The third term begins April 1. The summer term will begin the first part of July and will be divided into two parts each of six weeks.
The faculty and students have expressed themselves in favor of the system, as it has been working the last six weeks. The students find the system a benefit as they may get full credit for short periods of time or the work done by the students under the four-term plan is intensified and of better quality.
Under the former plan of two semesters, a student took fifteen hours a semester, thus making 30 credits a year. Under the four-term plan a student takes at least 15 hours a term and attends any three terms a year, making 45 hours a semester. Under the four-term system in 180 credits, which amounts to the same as the 120 credits under the two-semester years
"The war has made this four-term plan necessary," said James Sheehy, president of the student body. "Many men will find it necessary to leave in January, and under this plan we can get credit for one term because we have seen intensified and I feel that a student gets a better idea of his work."
Dr. Edmund S. Conklin, professor of psychology, believes the establishment of a psychiatry school
reorganization that for the time being its benefits are almost overshadowed. "I did not think that so many changes and ramifications could be possible. However, I like meeting my classes oftener for the speed of the work is greater and the work of more excellent quality."
"It is a decided improvement for the students to take fewer subjects as they do under this plan," said Dr. H. D. Sheildon, dean of the school of education. "I like meeting my classes oftener for I find that the work done by the students is of superior quality. The plan is to ensure that more students who are working their way through college. They may attend any three of the four terms.
"The only drawback that I can see for my branch of the work is that special arrangements must be made with the high schools so that they will allow students to complete their course so as to be ready to enter the University at the beginning of the various terms. I am hoping that the four-term plan will soon be established in the high schools of Oregon."

Three-Cent Stamp Is A Saving
Three-Cent Stamp Is A Saving
If the student wants to help his government save paper and dye, he should use the three-cent stamps. It is just as convenient for those in the post-office to stamp three one-cent stamps as one three-cent one, but in the saving to the government, the use of the three-cent denomination is preferable.
