Supposedly because of the Jewish holidays it was decided that we ought not have a first class after sundown if it happens to collide. Where would authority for such a policy come from? For especially those night classes which meet but once weekly, having even one class zapped by this practice makes me rather upset. If we are going to adopt more cultural holidays, let's put them in the calendar. This ad hoc pandering is bad news. -- -- Frank Ch. Eigler -- Comp Eng -- -- (I'm Still Brian!)
