The staff is composed not only of those recognized in their fklis bet also vans, humanistic people," according to Gene Harding, senior fellow. Each fellow was selected because he was nominated by the students, Harding explained. The term feEow is used, he sail, to emphasize that the teachers are fellow learners with the students. Te were looking for a term to get away from the caste connotations of professors and students," he said. "As it works out, nobody calls anybody doctor or pro fessor anyway. It's very informal-" Centennial students nw l; ..kntation meeting last iLght, but students still can sign up for courses in the program through drop and add. Centennial went through an evaluation last April, .organized by the vice chancellor of academic affairs, in the face of budget concerns and possible elimination of the program. The report was favorable. It said "should the university make a commitment to strive for national recognition in the area of excellence in undergraduate teaching, the Centennial program could wefl be a showcase to other institutions with similar aspirations.' r M .

This work will not keep trafHc cfTO SU he ssid . Erixcn ssd Conrtrsctors requested an extension of the Sept. 1 deadline based on two factors. First, the size of the bricks needed for the herring bone pattern sidewalks is different than that needed for the street. After the first shipment cf bricks azrhed, he said, no one realized for several weeks that tsro were needed. He said the shipment of sidewalk brick is expectsd Sept. 13. Erhson added thai Constructors says asathsr Czy- wss caused when ess business on O St. decided to run a new 0re service line for its sprIsT system from the street's water mains. "Constructors contends the phanhmg company, which put in the Ene, took quite a bit cf time Erixcn ssid. Another reason Constructors asked for an extension, was that crews scheduled to begfia brickwork in early Ju!y did cot tea laying brisks until Aug. 2, hs said. Ilzt snse cf extmsisn Erixon said his office has not decided whether Con structors w3 be given any time extension. Ron Cutler, Constructors engineer in charge of the O St. project, said, Te knew it would be close when we started tie project. Te hsi red (pod weather, he ssid. "If the weather had been bsd, we probably wcuH bs further behind laying crew from New York City being several weeks kts and a week delay caused by the installation of the firs ... "It was a ccjrpliscied prcjsct, which required coor dination between us, utility, compssks and private- con tractors doing wcrk for mdividual storsowners, he ssid. Cutler said ther SSCO-a-day penal dauss was prchahry the largest ever for a city contract. "They wouldn't have put the penalty in there if they didnt have doubts we could get it done on time, hs said. Cutler said O St. should be open within three weeks.
