Dear Editor;
I can't help but notice that because of
difficulties with scheduling this year, many
students were forced to schedule classes all
day in order to get the courses they wanted.
This means going without the usual break for
lunch, and I, for one, find it irritating to
try to pay attention to a lecture at-three in
the afternoon when 1 haven't eaten since
breakfast.
A slight change in the scheduling of the
class periods would help this situation. If
third period ended at 11:50, as it does now,
and fourth period did not begin until 12:19,
this would allow 20 minutes for lunch and add
only ten minutes to the school day.
Although this would mean a slightly long—
er school day, with seventh period ending at
5:40 instead of 5:30, it would, I think, make
the school day easier.
ALL STUDENTS interested in participating
organized rock—pop jam sessions, please
.ign the notices in the RUB recreation room
or the OB bulletin board.
