' ; STUDENT : lax- LU? ,h' h s All work, no play A HOLIDAY? Labor Day held a new meaning for many students this year. Usu- ally taking advantage of the three-day weekend with that Monday off, students used to head for home, some to pick up impor- tant items they forgot, some for family reunions and some just to get away from the first full week of classes. But not this time. This time, that first Monday in September actually became a day of la- bor: students went to class. ltI thought it was unfair that we had to go to class? freshman Chris Kempker said. ttLabor Day is a federal holiday, and a lot of students planned on the extra day to go home? Scheduling the academic calendar two years in advance, the administrators, at that time, approved of holding classes on Labor Day. Instead of the three-day weekend, students received an extra day off for Thanksgiving break. ttThe calendar starts out as just a ba- sic model for us to work from? Tom Chur- chwell, assistant to the dean of instruction, said. The model calendar included the hours necessary to complete courses and tentative exam and break days. Dean of Instruction Darrell Krueger presented the model to the other deans who then added to or suggested changes to the proposal. Then it goes to the divi- sion heads who can also add or make changes. Next it goes to the faculty for their input and finally to the Student Senate. Suggestions are recorded and then a final vote is taken, Churchwell said. ttlf Harvard went to class, then I guess we cant complain? junior Diana Lees said. According to the calendar for next year, school will actually begin on Mon- day - Labor Day.V Susie Sinclair
