be similar to that of former years
with the exception that it will last
twelve weeks instead of nine.
Twelve credit semestral hours may
be earned by a student during this
session. Special stress next sum
mer will be put on courses in en
gineering, mathematics and
science.
The enrollment next summer
will be undoubtedly larger than
ever before because male students
in the Army Enlisted Reserve are
required to attend the accelerated
program offered by the university.
This means that all ROTC students
Will be taking drill during the
summer session.
As in last summer's session reci
tation periods will last one full
hour instead of the fifty minute
period during the regular semes
ter. There will be one week be
tween the end of next semester
and the start of the summer term.
A little over a month's vacation
will be allowed between the end of
the summer session and the start
of the new year.

tially the same despite efforts' of
the administration to make-ad
justments.
Other universities in the United
States have inaugurated courses
in the native tongue of those coun
tries engaged in the war. A course
in military German has been
offered in many colleges for
ROTC students.
Lack of Interest.
However, the modern language
department here is essentially the
same as prior years with French.
German and Spanish as the omy
languages taught in the univer
sity. The administration has of
fered courses in Danish, Nor
wegian, Italian, Portuguese,
Czechoslovakian and Russian for
this semester, but only a handful
signed up and the courses were
abolished because of lack of in
terest. All of these languages offered
have been taught at UN before
except Portuguese. There are in
structors here who can teach the
languages but there was little in
terest in these languages when
students registered this fall.
C. H. Oldfather, dean of the
college of arts and science, pointed
rut that if there is sufficient in
terest next semester courses in
modern foreign languages may be
pursued by students. At least a
dozen students must sign up be
fore a language will be taught.
Military German.
Many colleges this fall are
teaching military German so that
the future soldiers will understand
German documents and orders.
Altho the faculty must vote on
it, Dean Oldfather believes that
his college would allow such a
course to serve as the language
requirement if such a course was
taught here.
Enrollment in the modern lan
guages dropped a great deal this
semester. French dropped the
greatest as the 115 students en
rolled is only a little over half of
the total last year. There are
338 students taking Spanish com
pared to 364 last year. German
is the only course holding its own,
as there are 306 enrolled com
pared to 308 last year.

Lockett, Y.W.C.A. secretary, at
Ellen Smith.
Robert Mackie has an unique
knowledge of the life of students
thruout the world and of their
present acute needs. During the
past two years he has traveled
extensively in India, China and
Japan, as well as in North Amer
ica, and in Europe both Derore ana
after the outbreak of war. This
has given him an unusually rich
background for interpreting the
underlying issues of the present
world situation. A long period
international experience has
equipped him to do this.
Caught for a month in h ranee
by the German occupation in June,
1940, Robert Mackie and nis lam-
lv finally managed to get to
Switzerland, and then thru south
ern France and Spain to Lisbon.
There they were able to get
passage on a Portuguese ship
which landed them in New York
ust two months after they first
left Geneva.
In 1937-38, Mr. Mackie was
chairman of the Chinese student
relief campaign in Great Britain,
and later, on his visit to China,
was able to see personally the
work of the student relief com
mittees in the heroic reconstruc
tion of university life which is
taking place there. On his return
to Geneva he became a member
of the European Student Christian
Federation and International btu-
dent Service. This gives him an
intimate knowledge of the tragic
situation among European stu
dents and prisoners of war.
