Class registration
starts despite cuts
By ADINA SOLOMON
The Red & Black
With looming budget reductions, some may won
der how professor layoffs and diminishing courses
may affect registration for foil semester classes.
Tom Jackson, the University’s vice president of
public affairs, said he can’t predict what will hap
pen with registration, which began last week, since
no cuts have been approved.
“We don’t believe all the cuts will go through,” he
said. “There are still a lot of unknowns.”
Cuts may include eliminating part-time and
temporary faculty and various academic programs,
which could influence course sign-ups for fall semes
ter.
The University Admissions Office was given
approval to make admission decisions on summer
transfer applicants Tuesday, and Jackson said class
registration will go as planned until further notice.
“So far, we’ve been able to protect the number of
courses,” he said.
Jere Morehead, the senior vice president for aca
demic affairs and provost, had a similar opinion
concerning the budget cuts.
“I don’t think it’ll have any impact on registra
tion,” he said.
Morehead said the University’s highest priority
is to ensure all students, even ones entering nejjt
year, can take all the classes necessary to gradu
ate.
Morehead said registration is not yet a problem.
“The budget challenges will make it more diffi
cult,” he said.
He said after the budget cuts are approved, the
University will respond and make certain that stu
dents can take all the classes they need in order to
graduate.
Garnett Stokes, the dean of the Franklin College
of Arts and Sciences the University’s largest col
lege said she doesn't expect to have problems
during registration, and the number of classes
available will remain the same.
“At this point, we’re not anticipating any diffi
culty,” she said. “We’re providing classes at the
same level as the current fiscal year.”
Stokes said Franklin College is working with
both the provost and the office of the vice presi
dent for instruction to ensure students including
next year’s freshmen can take all the courses
they need.
Stokes also said the University continuously
monitors enrollment to ensure they’re “meeting
demands" for class sign-up.
Hillary Murphy, a freshman from Suwanee, said
she is not concerned about class registration.
“I’m more worried about programs I want to
enter in the future,” she said. “My classes are still
more general.”
Murphy said although she doesn't foresee any
major problems because she has not yet started
specialized courses, “it will definitely make things
difficult.”
For now, Jackson said the University is paying
close attention to the meetings on the budget
reductions to see what cuts will and won’t pass and
which areas of the University will have their funds
lowered.
“We’re waiting to see where it all came out,” he
said. “We’re watching the General Assembly
intently.”

child care
Office would
aid parents
By POLINA MAR I NOVA
The Red & Buck
Though faculty and staff
will have to continue play
ing the waiting game for
budget updates, University
employees with children
may benefit from anew
office dedicated to oversee
ing parental issues such as
maternity leave, members
of the Staff Council
announced Wednesday.
Staff Council president
Stuart Ivy discussed the
creation of a Work-Life
Office within the
Department of Human
Resources.
“We talked about issues
that were thought of as
women’s issues in the past,
but they are actually people
issues,” Ivy said. “Both men
and women are running
into issues like child care
and maternity leave.”
This discussion comes
soon after the University
unveiled plans to create a
child care facility for faculty
and staff at the Navy Supply
Corps School on Prince
Avenue. Ivy said he had
heard some complaints
about the facility being too
far away from main campus,

As visions of sugar-plums danced
in the heads of nearly 1,000 Creswell
residents early Wednesday morning,
their sweet dreams were interrupted
as one student decided to test out
the building's fire extinguishers.
According to the University Police
report, around 3 a.m. an unknown
individual discharged a fire extin
guisher on the fourth floor’s B wing.
This discharge caused the fire
alarms to active, forcing the students
to evacuate the building.
When police arrived, they observed
a heavy cloud of white powder and a
fire extinguisher left on the ground
The scene was processed for latent
prints, and students were then

but the council thinks it’s a
step in the right direction.
“There are no specifics on
coverage, costs or hours yet,
but it’s definitely coming
finally,” Ivy said. “We’re very,
very appreciative.”
He also mentioned a
“secret listserv” already in
place, which faculty and staff
can subscribe to when they
become pregnant in order to
gain information about the
maternity leave policies In
various departments.
“It's full of misinforma
tion. and it’s not any type of
centralized policy or proce-

right, so that's one of the
things ye would like to get
addressed by having a
Work-Life Office.”
The council members also
wanted budget information.
“On the budget issue,
the only news I have is that
there is no news,” Ivy said.
“I was informed very recent
ly that everything is kept
quiet, and intentionally so,
so I guess we’ll have to wait
some more.”

belonged to him and he had forgotten
he left it there.
Accidents galore
University Police were kept busy
yesterday as a total of nine car acci
dents were reported on campus.
In all occurrences, no one was

Police don’t believe there is any
connection between the accidents,

far as to call this elevated number a
“freak of nature.”
