Although most universities in the United States are on a semester system, which offers classes in the fall and spring,
some schools observe a quarter system comprised of fall, winter, spring, and summer quarters. The academic year,
September to June, is divided into three quarters of eleven weeks each beginning in September, January, and March:
the summer quarter, June to August, is composed of shorter sessions of vary length.
There are several advantages and disadvantages to the quarter system. On the plus side, students who wish to
complete their degrees in less than the customary four years may take advantage of the opportunity to study year
round by enrolling in all four quarters. In addition, although most students begin their programs in the fall quarter,
they may enter at the beginning of any other quarters. Finally, since the physical facilities are kept in operation year
round, the resources are used effectively to serve the greatest number of students. But there are several
disadvantages as well. Many faculties complain that eleven-week term is simply not enough for them to cover the
material required by most college courses. Students also find it difficult to complete the assignments in such a short
period of time.
In order to combine the advantages of the quarter system with those of the semester system some colleges and
universities have instituted a three-term trimester system. In fourteen weeks, faculty and students have more time
to cover material and finish course requirements, but the additional term provides options for admission during the
year and accelerates the degree programs for those students who wish to graduate early.

Brown bears are found in Alaska and western of Canada. They are first cousins of the grizzly, each belonging to
the species Ursus arctos. The chief difference in them is size, as brown bears on the average are slightly larger. A
full-grown male may weigh 1,500 pounds and stand 9 to 10 feet tall. Like bears everywhere they are creatures of
habit that tread the same trails year after year. Brown bears have three gaits: an even, deliberate one that takes
them over rough or boggy ground at a steady clip, a quick shuffle, and a fast gallop. They are not only
surprisingly fast, but also, for such huge beasts, amazingly agile. They can charge up and climb down nearly
vertical inclines. Fishing the streams in summer, they pounce on swift-moving salmon and snatch them with
almost simultaneous movements of their paws and mouths. Brown bears are excellent swimmers and love to loll
and wallow in the water on warm days. They are also curious and playful. Most manifest a fear of humans, but
Alaskans prefer not to test these creatures and usually carry noisemakers of some kind to warn the bears of their
presence.
