a It there ha\c been long laces around campus
lately, it could be because of the tail 1986
schedule, which sets the Wim exam on Dec. 22.
Many students have complained that the
lall schedule ends loo late, said Mark Shanley
from the Student Development Office. This
leaves many students m a jobless position
o\er Christmas because holiday jobs begin
several weeks earlier
Next fall's academic schedule ends onls one
day alter lall l\)H5's schedule, which ended
Dec. 21.
