Patience Do you like standing in long lines? Does the idea of rush hour traffic seem inviting to you? Do you enjoy having to hunt down an empty seat for class? Well, unless you have a fascination with frustration, chances are you didn ' t answer yes to any of these questions. Unfortunately, students had no choice but to live through the long lines in the Student Union, the bookstore, and in crowded classes. Due to an unexpected budget crunch, UA officials were forced to enlarge class sizes beyond capacity. I find it very difficult to learn in some of my classes. It seems as though the UA can ' t afford anything. I needed a magnifying glass to read the syllabus in one of my classes because several pages of im- portant dates and information were condensed and shrunk onto one page, said sopho- more Daniel Gallardo.

My accounting class had 422 students enrolled. With so many students in one room, it was often difficult and ex- tremely intimidating to ask a question. My professor kept reminding us of how different he would have taught the class had he not had so many stu- dents, said sophomore Rob- ert Lucero. During the noon hour the Student Union became frus- trating for starving students.

The way I see it, if you really want to eat, then you have to wait. Students could easily spend a day waiting amongst crowds.

Students strain to read the chalkboard because large class- rooms made taking notes very difficult. Photo by John Gray. I ' m so hungry!
