GILLIAM g Editor six-day schedule for the sum > President Norman M. Smith rrustees Tuesday, John Beck circulating a petition among ,ay. ,ned yesterday and Beckham to have 1,000 names before the petition is sent jointly to the president and the board. The petition is: "We, the undersigned, would like a four-day summer term, Mon day through Thursday, and could not possibly attend a six-day term as now planned." Beckham said that married vet erans need the extra days of the weeKenu to work for support of their families. The six-day period would keep them from taking weekend employment, he said. "Two extra days have been added," Beckham declared, "on which the students will have to buy food. If the term was for four days, they could go home on the long weekends and cut down the expenses of staying in Columbia." The four-day term was ideal for the conscientious student, Beck ham said. Students put more time on their studies in the short pe riod than in an extended time where they might have one day off during the week, he said. The four-day term was used last year and the six-day sched ule for the coming summer was announced last week by the ad ministration. The petition began circulation Monday, after the notice of the plans was published Friday. It was circulated among the stu dents-in-general and not to one specifie group, Beckham said.
