class of i98i gj x m0 re weeks and ' Oz ' is found Michael Caldwell Gracila Cano Michael Cardenas Linda Carmona Connie Carnline Steven Candelas Mary Casarez Curtis Carlson Denise Carnes Albert Carrion After four years of breezing through quar- ters, it was only natural that Travis students and faculty would find the semester system a drastic change Like the tedious, long |ourney to Oz, the long road to the end of the semester had to be traveled. And to insure that travelers met their goal, a new absence policy was put into effect If a student was absent more than ten times, semester credit was lost However, the right of appealing to the Absence Review Committee was given to all students. Perhaps the most noteworthy difference in the semester was that an extra six weeks of class had to be dealt with There were dif- ferent opinions concerning the change back to the semester system. Commented Nancy Carlson, a junior, You spend too much time in one class and it gets boring. Felix Anzaldua, a sophomore, commented. I think it ' s better You learn more.

The fast food chains that were most popular with Travis munchers dur- ing the 30- and 45-minute lunches were Taco Bell, McDonalds, Sonic Drive-in, and Taco Villa. Those students who had more time to relax and watch the soap operas ate at Mr. Gatti ' s, while others played pmball at Spanky ' s Coney Island. No matter how various students spent their lunch, they all replied the same when asked what their favorite subject was, Lunch. Off-campus lunches — 21 » - ■
