There are still a few tickets
left today for the trip to Washington, D.C. for the Nov. 15
moratorium, according to Paul
Puma, chairman of the Moratorium Committee.
Five buses will leave Nov. 14
"as close to noon as possible"
to make the 600-mile trip.
After spending the entire day in
Washington, Saturday, Nov. 15,
the buses will make the return
trip to Mt. Pleasant and is expected to arrive sometime Sunday
evening.

placed in that school system,
according to. Jarvis Wotring,
assistant to the director of intern teaching.
The decision was made by the
School of Education and the Directed Teaching andlntern Office
of CMU after the Bay City Public
schools and Bay City teachers
agreed to increase the salary
paid to the supervising teachers;
there.
"From a budgetary point of
view the University could not
stand the expense if it were to
happen state-wide," Wotring
said.
As a result, students who bad
planned on teaching in Bay City,
are being, transferred to other
school systems near Bay City.
Wotring said the School. of
Education and the Directed
Teaching Office regret the necessity for this action.
."Bay  City has a very good
school system with outstanding
teachers who were doing'
excellent work with the teachers
from CMU, Wotring added.

Elimination of a separate exam
week was the most progressive
action taken regarding the new
calendar, according to a luminary of statements made by individuals in favor of the new
calendar at special hearings
• held in March.
Some of the major advantages
of the new system are that stu- ■
dent teachers in the fall will begin about the same time public
schools do and that the 'lame
■ duck session" of two weeks following Christmas vacation will
be eliminated.
Bettsr Jobs
Also, since the new school
year ends in May, CMU students wiU be in a better position to get summer jobs. Thenew
calendar would not affect national
convention attendance at Christmastime or CMU union contracts.
Several disadvantages to the
new system were pointed out at
the March hearings.
Buildings will stand empty longer and each spring the university might lose between 100
and 125 students who would other-

Further, the first time thenew
plan goes into effect students will

as it does under the present
system. •
Ending school earlier/in the
spring will alsd increase speech
clinic costs by $6,000, which is
about a '20 per cent increase
in expenses. This is because
faculty and students are needed to
prepare for the summer program .
and they would not be here to
help late in May under the'new
calendar as they are under the
present plan, the report said.
