None of these was true for me," another senior commented. Labeled 'Unfair' A sophomore labeled it "unfair to expect students to adequately review and take a comprehensive exam in four to six courses with- in the period of one week." Because University officials, hearing such complaints, are ser- ously considering some sort of class-free "reading period" before finals, The Daily's questionnaire sought reactions /on this specific proposal. Opinions ranged from sopho- more Barbara Laas' assertion that the period is "essential," to the prediction that "no one would bother to 'read' anyway," ad- vanced by Thomas G. Hackett, '65. Object to Reading Period There were other objections ad- vanced by opponents of the read- ing period.' "I would not favor shortening the semester again," one sophomore remarked, while Barbara A. Hoim, '64, insisted such a period "would increase pressure at final exams and place unwar- ranted emphasis on the import- ance of finals." The questionnaire's reading period proposal provoked several other suggestions for juggling the calendar to relieve pressures: -A sophomore proposed that, instead of reducing class meetings to provide the reading period, "the third week of Christmas vacation could be cut out to provide the time. A three week vacation is nice, but I would much rather 4ave a two-week one, and a read- ing period before filals." Asks Abolition of Finals -"A not too far-fetched plan would be to abolish finals alto- gether. The last week of classes would test only the last one third of the semester's work and only count that much in the overall grade for any course," Ronald Le- Beau, '66, suggested. -The number of class meetings should be reduced, a senior wrote. "This gained time would be put to better use by making the exam it- self longer and by reducing the number of exams scheduled each day. Some people prefer to study for one test after they have gotten another out of the way." -Another senior said that "thanksgiving recess should be extended to include the entire week of Thanksgiving, thus allow- ing time to complete larger proj- ects such as papers and lab re- Ports." Suggests Discussion Period -Instead of a reading period, Evelyn Falkenstein, '66, suggested, the University should "continue classes, without the presentation of new material, as a discussion Hannah Hits MSU Critics (Continued from Page 1) He cited an earlier statement by the MSU Board of Trustees which said: "It is understood that this board has no intention to organize the beginning of a medical school un- til after the schools at the Uni- versity and Wayne are fully de- veloped, but feels that at the time it' is decided to instigate a third publicly supported medical school in Michigan, it should be a part of Michigan State University." A two-year, non-clinical pro-' gram in human medicine is sched- uled to begin at MSU in the fall of 1965. This is the program term- ed by some critics "a foot in the door" for an eventual four-year medical school. Hannah last month predicted a full medical program at MSC- but as much as 15 or 20 years in the future. A committee named by the Michigan Coordinating Council for Higher Education recommended that the MSU program be limited to 18 months. Students would then transfer to the University and Wayne for their final six months. DIAL 2-6264 0 Shows 1:20-3:40-6:10 & 8:45 period. Such a period would round out the independent study of the final-exam period by giving the student an opportunity to air questions that arise from the final study and co-ordination of the course. The entire course would then be co-ordinated, so that the final exam need not be weighted on thelast part of the semester. Attendance during this period would be voluntary; those having nothing to discuss would not need to attend." Pressures and grades aside, the question remains: what did tri- mester do to education itself? The survey's respondents, as a group, felt it had little effect. But a few added gloomy remarks. "This was the first semester at the University in which I studied merely for exams and not because I enjoyed learning. I resent assem- bly-line educational methods," one senior complained. No Time for Contemplation A sophomore, though indicating a mild preference for the new sys- tem, claimed "there was not enough time to think about what you were cramming into your creative thinking or projects." Rubert G. Pachella, '66, report- ed feeling "a great indifference to- ward my work at the end of the semester, going into finals" be- cause there was "so much work in the last two weeks." Charles Kacir, '65A&D, warned that the trimester may create problems for future student gen- enations. "There are students, I for one, who probably would not have survived the period of ad- justment to the University if it had been on the new calendar." 1 Kabaker, however, pointed to the other side of this coin. "Pretty soon the present upperclassmen will be gone and there will be left only 'trimester babies'." These people, he argued, will go through the University never having known 1 WUS Head To Describe Student Aid By KAREN KENAH Makota Fujita, executive direc- tor of World University Service, is visiting the campus today to in- form students of the role of WUS in Southeast Asia and Japan.
