[NU Sports] FW: Buckeyes to semester system

[hakirsch at aol.com]

Boy do I agree with Scott about the dis advantage of obtaining a  summer job.  They were all taken by mid June.   However I'm told it's very hard to make the switch. Professors need to change their courses to gear for 18 weeks vs 12. It might be easy for a year of physics or calculus but not for a one quarter course.   Their calender of actually teaching classes changes and would likely need their approval (or union). 
There are a bunch of other issues that need to be dealt with.  Obviously schools do it, but not without a bunch of dislocations (By the way,my dad ,who was an OSU grad in the 30's and a Chemistry major,used to tell me how much harder he thought the quarter system was,but that it instilled good academic discipline)

Would NU ever consider changing from the quarter system? I remember it
being a drag getting out so late in the year that all the good summer jobs
were long gone, and then being home alone for a few weeks at the end of
summer when all my friends were already back at their own schools.
