WIDE VARIETY OF COURSES
ON SUMMER SCHEDULE
Summer school dates have been
set for June 13-July 18 and July 21-
Aug. 22, with a short term of June
2-14 for a two-week course in "Field
Biology."
Biol. 335, Field Biology, will be
taught by Richard Rundall, associate
professor, between the close of the
spring semester and the opening of
the first summer term.
While most courses in both terms
have been planned for the three up-
perclasses, freshmen have a wide
choice. Many students find it advantageous to enter college during the
summer to establish study habits and
become accustomed to college life
at a slower pace than is found in the
fall.
Courses for freshmen are in such
fields as Bible, English, history,
Spanish, art, speech, mathematics,
biology, physical science and sociology. From this list, a freshman
will be permitted to take two classes
each term. In addition, he may meet
two terms of physical education requirements.
Four courses being offered for
the first time are of unusual interest
to advanced students. In Ed. 415,
Developmental Reading in Secondary
School, Dr. Milas M. Ayers, professor of psychology and director of
student counseling, will offer materials in keeping with the new requirements of the State Department
of Education. This course and Psy.
413, Theories of Motivation, taught
by Genevieve Snavely Thompson,
associate professor of psychology,
will be new courses in the first term.
In the second term, the English
and history departments have scheduled new advanced courses dealing
with history and literary background

A radical departure in arranging
Commencement has been made in
having the baccalaureate service on
Thursday night at 7:30 o'clock but
Magnolia Avenue Baptist Church will
be the place of worship. Mr. McDan-
iel, pastor of First Southern Baptist
Church, Ventura, will deliver the
sermon. The invocation will be given
by H.W. Tilden, Los Angeles, director of American Baptist Men, and the
benediction by the Rev. Bob Chew,
pastor of Mt. Moriah Baptist Church,
Pasadena. Scripture will be read by
the Rev. Earl Crawford, Riverside,
missionary of Calvary-Arrowhead Association.
At 10 a.m., May 29, a meeting of
the Alumni Association Executive
Board has been called by President
