Professors alter schedule for snow day SNOW from pagel and night classes were canceled Jan. 29. Stricklin’s reporting class has only met three times this semester. To make up for this, Stricklin said he was arranging individual meetings with the students in his class to catch up on the course material But Stricklin said he felt lucky his reporting class only had 18 stu dents. “I can’t imagine what it’d be like to have 100 students and have to work around that,” he said. Despite the extra work, Stricklin said classes needed to be canceled last week. “It only happens about once every lOyears,” he said. “You just have to be agile and willing to work around it” Colleen Jones, assistant pro fessor of management, said she lost valuable time when her Thursday night class was can celed last week. “When a class is canceled, it means we’ve lost one-fifteenth of the class,” she said. “That's signifi cant” ' Jones said she reviewed her curriculum and will decide whether certain topics can be combined or if students will need to do independent study outside of class. Jones’ organizational theory and behavior class is a graduate class, and several of her students Finalists names not yet released CHANCELLOR from page 1 meeting and probably won't be back in his office until Wednesday, Rowson said.

She said she doesn't plan on scheduling extra class sessions because most of her students work full-tima Like Stricklin, Jones said the extra work of making up class was better than holding class in bad weather. "It was good not to have (com muter students) on the road,” she said. “There’s a difference between safety and (UNL's) aca demic mission-we need to make sure we fulfill that” Friday’s weather also halted severed university events along with classes. An equestrian event, Horsin’ Around, had to oe rescneouieo tor March 10-11, said Sally Buchholz, interim director of public rela tions. The event, sponsored by the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources and the Cooperative Extension, was post poned because the primary clini cian couldn’t make it from Texas to Lincoln, she said. An open forum on academic prioritization, scheduled for Friday morning, also was can celed and hasn't been rescheduled yet, she said. “Pretty much everything that was supposed to be happening Friday afternoon was off," she said.
