(Photo by Fred Moesinger) Summer quarter numbers on the rise By Fred Moesinger Sim The summer is a time many associate with trips to Disneyland, vacations to foreign countries, to the ocean and generally anything else not related to school work. But sophomore Ben Adams disagrees. Adams enrolled at Dixie College for Summer Quarter 1993. This, along with some credits earned in high school, enabled him to graduate from Dixie College in four quarters. It summer school is nice, he said. There are fewer people, the classes are smaller, and the teachers are much more mellow. Adams also said many students attended Summer Quarter. students are Usually more interested in learning, Adams said. The statistics agree w ith Adams. Only 12 percent of the 1993 Summer Quarter students were under 20 years old. But another Dixie student, Jennifer Brown, has a different view. Some people like it and others hate it., she said. Some say that the teachers cram too much into you, but others say the teachers are much easier on the students and don't even give finals. Brown is looking forward to attending the upcoming Summer Quarter. Dell Taylor, director of admissions and records, said several things differentiate Summer Quarter from the other quarters. He said not as many classes are offered during Summer Quarter and it is two weeks shorter than the others. All students attending classes in the summer pay resident tuition. However, it is evident not many students take advantage of this offer. Only 7 percent of the 1993 summer students were nonresidents. Traditionally, summer school sees a drop in enrollment, compared to other quarters, but it has been increasing. 1993 showed an increase of 4 percent enrollment, 28 more students than the previous year. Students can enroll for summer classes through July 8. Wednesday College yearbook. The Confederate, will go on sale in front of the Library and Liberal Arts buildings.

New yearbook editor Cheryl irunr.i birth control choice: condoms The birth control method of choice on U.S. college campuses is the condom, according to a recent national survey. Two of three sexually active students, or 64 percent, report using male condoms as the preferred method to prevent contraception, while close to half, or 48 percent of college students say they use birth control pills. The Upjohn Company of Kalamazoo, Mich., surveyed 1,631 college students on 25 college campuses about their attitudes toward and use of birth control methods. The results are good news to some AIDS education activists, who say the high percentage of college students who report using condoms could indicate that students are taking action to prevent transmission of the deadly HIV virus and other sexually transmitted diseases. Intuitively, it seems encouraging that two out of three sexually active college students say they use condoms, if they use them in a consistent and correction fashion, says Peggy Clarke, president of the American Social Health Assoc.
