Choral Arts instead of Calculus? This is an example of what some students might have found on their program at the beginning of the year. Schedule changes were commonplace the first few weeks of school. Both the guidance counselors and Dr. Carlson had to deal once again with a flood of students rushing into their offices demanding that the computer error on their program be fixed. Actually, very few were computer errors. The mistakes on their programs were put there intentionally to get the student to discuss with a counselor the courses that were selected. The number of students that had to get their schedules changed was no more or less than in recent years, but there were different reasons for program mix-ups. One of the biggest reasons was the addition of an extra lab period. The extra class meant that students had to pick six courses instead of five. This presented Dr. Elliot Carlson, Dean of studies, with the challenge of giving every student the classes that they chose. (Don ' t forget, we ' re talking about fourteen hundred students!) Most of the students were able to have their programs worked out so they got what they signed up for, but there were a few groups of people whose schedules were harder to work out. The people that presented the most problems were the senior work study students and the members of the band, because those courses had to be scheduled for certain set times. But ail in ail, most students were finally satisfied with their course JT schedules.. mm Kf- ' A- academics grades are still the issue
