Page 4 The Battalion Friday Afternoon, May 10, 1946 Accelerated Plan Becomes History On June 3rd With the close of the current semester the College will discon tinue the accelerated program of offering three regular semesters each calendar year. Effective June 3, 1946, the Col lege will revert to its pre-war pro gram of offering two six-weeks terms in the summer session and two semesters in the regular ses sion. With the return of this plan the following policy will be in effect: (1) The summer session 1946 is designed primarily for veterans and priority in registration will be given them. (2) During the first term, non veteran students now in College may register in classes which have not been completely filled with vet erans. The second term of summer session is planned specifically for ex-service men. (3) The fall semester will be the regular time for non-veteran high school graduates to enter. Those who can qualify for admission should enter on September 2, the opening date of the first semester of the 1946-47 session. Facilities of the College will not permit ac cepting them until that time. EVANS ATTENDS EDUCATION COUNCIL IN N. CAROLINA Everett F.

Keene from Dallas Naval Air Sta tion explained to the group the facts about the Reserve aviation squadrons which will begin opera tions in Dallas, July 1. About fifty pilots were present at the meeting, plus a group of former enlisted men who had been combat aircrewmen or members of ground crews.
