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.
