Students feel unequipped
to battle semester system
Break was too short to rest up and prepare
By FRANCIA McCORMACK
The Red a Black
Hello spring semester, so long
the shortest winter break in the
University’s history.
Students and faculty are being
welcomed back with freezing
weather, long lines and a second
shot at playing the semester
game. Most agree the break was
n’t long enough to rest up and
prepare.
Students like Natasha Brown,
a sophomore from Stone
Mountain, said she would have
eryoyed a couple more weeks.
“I was kind of used to having a
month off, but I feel well rested,"
Brown said. ”1 had to run around
more between friends and family
since the break was so short."
However, with one semester
down. Brown said she has a bet
ter understanding of how to
improve her grades
“This semester I’m taking six
classes," Brown said. "This time I
know what to expect, I have bet
ter goals and I plan to have more
study time."
Some professors feel that both
students and faculty know what
to expect in the upcoming semes
ter.
“The first semester is always a
trial period," said Kristen Shoaf, a
graduate student teaching
Spanish. “I think teachers will be
able to adjust better with the
time constraints this semester."
In preparation for classes to
begin, the only major delay devel
oped Monday, when computers
overloaded with the increased
load from returning students and
faculty.
“The University’s been closed
for 11 days now,” said Ted Eley,
administrative director of the
banking-trust department.
“Students, faculty — everybody —
are jumping on the system, creat
ing a real bottleneck situation.
But I think we’ve got it all ironed
out."
However, no computer-freez
ing delays or OASIS shutdowns
are expected during drop-add.
Students wanting to adjust
schedules will find an increase in
available computers, said Terry
Brewer, University Computing
and Network Services manager.
"We’ve added 22 additional
computers to Memorial and we
always try to have ample staff to
help out," Brewer said.
“Unfortunately, there's nothing
we can do for students waiting
outside."
Bookstore officials said they
realize students are concerned
with long lines for back-to-school
necessities.
“We generally hire about 30
extra people to handle the rush,”
Henry Bryan, University
Bookstore manager, said. "We still
have books coming from late
orders but the vast majority are
already in."
An estimated 20,000 students
received financial aid checks in
the mail during the break, but a
few late checks and promissory
notes may cause lines at Business
Services, said Eley.
However, some feel it’s still too
soon to predict till semester-
switch problems.
"I think we need a full year to
see what happens over the
whole,” Bryan said. “It is very dif
ficult right now to get a good
grasp on the changes."
