Hail : It is not for mere students to set themselves above :he faculty of Hun- ter College. But at this point we find Hunter College Park. which is now accomplishing that not-too-easy feat. Instead of bemoaning your own fate, you bereft Bronxites, pay tribute to the Park Avenue building, now doing double duty and receiving neither thanks nor appreciation. "Long may she live our college fair."
With the Bronx campus now established as the largest Naval Training Station in the United States for WAVES and SPARS, Hunter College has in- stituted numerous curricular and administrative changes. Day sessions now include nine periods, the first one beginning at 8:40 and the ninth ending at 6:00 p.m. Classes will be in continuous session through- out the day with no particular period set aside as lunch hour. Instead, each stu- dent has been asked to arrange her program so as to leave either the third, fourth, or fifth period free for lunch. In addition to the Park Avenue Building, classes will be held at Public School 76 as well as in the Hunter College High School. The Romance lan- guages, German, the Classics, and several speech courses will be given in P. S. 76, whereas .some classes in education, English, music, psychology and physicd education will meet in the high school. To facilitate registration, former Bronx students have been assigned to classes of their own for this semester only. The freshmen and sophomores will continue under the guidance and direction of Dean Ann G. Anthony, formerly of the Bronx; Dean Hannah M. Egan will supervise the juniors and seniors. Miss Margaret Rendt of the Dean's Office, in charge pf freshmen at Park Avenue last semester, will take over at P. S. 76. While these changes were carried out at Hunter College, the Bronx cam- pus welcomed the first group of enlisted applicants yesterday, February 15, with 2000 as the initial number. Hereafter 2000 more WAVE and SPAR candidates will amve every two weeks. Since the given course is of six weeks duration, there will be as many as six thousand attending the school at certain times. Farewell: Housing facilities have been arranged by vacating thirteen apartment houses in Say au revoir instead of goodbye, since Hunter College Bmnx is not a the immediate vicinity of civilian tenants and supplying them with furnishings thing of the past but a thing of the future.
