Summer Term Plans Issued By Phillips New Frosh Class1 To Be Admitted Under New System The 1942 University Summer Ses sion will again stress the needs' of teachers, according to the preliminary announcement today from Director Guy B. Phillips, but with important new war-time adjustments and speed ups for undergraduates and new stu dents." The dates for the two terms have been set by President Frank P. Gra ham and Administrative Dean R. B. House for June 11 to July 21 and July 22 to August 28. For the first time the University will admit a whole new freshman class at the summer term, Dr. Phillips said. The regular and full freshman pro gram will be offered, the same as in the fall quarter. Twelve Month Basis This means that the University has gone on a twelve-month basis, or a full four-quarter system, in rushing the training of workers and soldiers for the nation, Dr. Phillips explained. New students entering June 11 may go straight through and finish in three years. A special summer school bulletin is now being sent to interested parties on request, and the complete catalog will be available in February. The 1942 program for teachers and regular students will follow the same pattern," generally speaking, as in the past, according to Dr. Phillips. The only change is that it will be expanded, See SUMMER TERM, page U Faculty, Students Q uestion Union With Britain Clarence Streit's "Union Now" plan for post-war cooperation among the world's democracies broke into and took over International Relations club's first open forum of five dedi cated to post-war problems, last night at the Institute of Government. Appearance of Dr. John M. Book er of the English department and As sistant Dean Roland B. Parker to challenge the two-score - students :. on their knowledge and 'opinions of a world federation brought surprise and attraction. Dr.. Booker asked for time to speak and addressed the gathering on the controversial history, failures and successes, merits ' and defects of previous plans, including the League of Nations, and the proposal disclosed in Streit's best selling volume. . Roger Mann, IRC's president, 'left the table for the first time of his term to4 debate with Dr. Booker the value of -permanently allying with Britain. Dr. Booker defended the faithful and priceless cooperation Britain has af forded the United States, and gave first announcement of a special forum to be devoted to discussion of "Union Now" Wednesday night at 8 o'clock in Gerrard hall. Argument on Russia's position in America's post-war life last night turned mild in the face of the wide at tacks on England's alleged self-interest and "inconsistency." One general opinion brought out in IRC's discussion was that Russia and US post-war relations will be amicable and cooperative. Communism and Rus sia at one time were seen as separate aspects of our future relations with that country, one as disliked political ideology whose menace will be frozen, and the other as a nation with which the United States may cooperate, even to the extent of a common, three-power federation: England, United States and Russia.
