Committee creates schedule
without taking away holidays
BY KERRY OSSI
STAFF WRITER
SEPT. 18 The Calendar Com
mittee decided Tuesday to recom
mend a calendar that will not take
away holidays from students and will
keep both Fall Break and Thanksgiv
ing Break intact.
David Lanier, University registrar
and Calendar Committee chairman,
said the General Administration
asked that the committee come up
with anew schedule that would keep
instructional days off of holidays.
The request arose when the com
mittee suggested classes be held on
Good Friday and Labor Day in order
to meet UNC-system President C.D.
Spangler’s new requirement that each
semester have 75 instructional days,
Lanier said.
“Holidays, exam days, Saturdays
and Sundays cannot be included in
the 75 days of instruction, but I’ve
received confirmation from the GA
that reading days count,” Lanier said.
The committee agreed to keep

seven exam days and two reading
days at the end of each semester but
decided to split up the reading days.
If Chancellor Michael Hooker
approves the recommended calendar,
one reading day will be scheduled
after the last day of classes and a
second will be held in the middle of
exam week.
In order to meet Spangler’s require
ment, the committee decided to start
classes a half day earlier next fall.
Classes will begin at 12:30 p.m. on
Aug. 19 instead of 8 a.m. on Aug. 20
and will end a day later.
“Starting classes at 12:30 is a little
weird, but all the testing, evaluating
and advising can be finished Tuesday
morning or spread out over theweek,”
said Bobbi Owen, associate dean of
College of Arts and Sciences. “But
there has to be at least one working
day before classes start.”
The committee also added three
days to the beginning of the 1998
spring semester. Classes will begin
Jan. 7 instead of Jan. 12, and classes
will end a day earlier.
