Tt lfE5/n-ovoc,p. r& USDplans 11-->--? F to delay semester SAN DIEGO - The Univer- sity of San Diego will delay the start of spring semester one week to help students who are affected by the overcrowding problems at state colleges. Students have been advised that the semester change would mean the second semester will start Feb. 3 instead of Jan. 27 as previously published. Com- mencement exercises planned for May 31 will n be affected. "Recognizing that the Univer• sity of San Diego might be able to help the overcrowded situation by accepting at the semester a number of well- qualified students who may wish to come here to ensure the continuance of their education, the faculty proposed the ad- justment of the spring semester dates by a week," officials said.
