    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

meeting and probably won't be
back in his office until
Wednesday, Rowson said.
Rowson said it was possible
Smith could release the names
before then, but it wasn’t likely.
After the finalists are
announced, they will come to
campus for interviews where
they will meet Smith and mem
bers of the NU Board of
Regents, Rowson said.

commute from Omaha and other
places outside of Lincoln.
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.
