Schedule causes frustration NOV. 14,1990 - WCC CAMPUS VOICE 17 To the editors The staggered schedule between the North and the South Campus creates a monumental "problem -for those o-f us who need classes on both campuses. Each time a student tal<es a class on one campus, she or he el imi- nates the possibility o-f two class hours on the other campus. The staggered schedule especially a-f-fects second year college transfer students like me who need to -fill those last -few requirements before moving on to a four-year institu tion. I would like to see the break between classes lengthened to 20 minutes, with both campuses opera ting on the same schedule. This plan would give students ample time to travel from one campus to the other. I realize that it would mean that those students who do not need to commute would also have a slightly longer break between classes than they are used to. It would, however, eliminate some of the inconvenience that those of us who are required to take classes on both campuses endure. I for one am very frustrated by the scheduling problems that I have encountered. I am also frustrated with the 40 minute breaks between classes that I have faced twice a day for three of the four quarters that I have attended at UlCC, an inconvenience that I will face again next quarter. I am certain that many other students have encountered the same problems and share the same frustrat i ons. We are all fortunate to have such a beautiful new campus, and certainly we cannot expect to make the transition from one campus to the other wi thout i nconven i ence. However, it i s my contention that all students should share the burden equally, and that the scheduling problem should be put behind us. Twenty minute class breaks would correct both problems.

As we anxiously await the completion of the North Campus, let us think of the sadness of progress, a sadness relevant not only to our campus but also to our community. Reflect to a time when the South Campus was new. Think of the faculty and staff members whose lives and careers happened there. Editorial To them the South Campus is and always will be Wayne Community College. In our community, we see what was once farmland turned into housing devel opments and shopping centers. Progress is a good thing. We all look forward to change. However, with change we must also look back to our heritage, our beginnings, and know regret.
