"There are definitely days when you wish there were only the recom mended 12 students in the section rather than the 16 or 17 you have," Walraven said. Jeff Keith, a senior business major, said sacrificing both the attention of the professor or lecturer and physical comfort by overcrowding sections complicates the learning process. "In my biology class, every single seat was filled, and people were still spilling out into the aisles or forced to stand in the back," Keith said. "There were numerous distractions which accompany a more crowded classroom." This strain on resources has not been limited to the Department of Journalism. Dr. Angelo DeNisi, head of the management department, said the problem also extends to his department. "It's been a continuous problem for about the past five years," said Dr. Angelo DeSini, head of the man agement department. "It complicates matters when there are 50 to 60 bod ies in the classroom, which would be best taught with 35." In order to cope with the limited amount of seats that are in high demand, individual departments normally derive their own systems to most effectively place the most deserving students. The journalism department freezes and reserves a certain amount of seats per section and then attempts to determine the seats' recipients on the basis of hours com pleted, amount of time spent in the program, and the number of times the student has requested a force. The time spent in the program is also factored in to prevent upperclassmen transfer students from gaining an unfair advantage over sophomores who have spent their entire collegiate academic career in the program. "In any given semester, approximately 15 to 20 students are unable to enrol! in Journalism 203 alone," Walraven said. Walraven said each semester30to 45 journalism students are unable to register for at least one course required for graduation. Not only does the time-consum ing process of attempting to forces student into a class occupy a signifi cant amount of the adviser's time, but the uncertainty of getting the class also adds unwanted stress by preventing the sdident from creating a schedule until the decision hai been made. "I've been trying to get forced into an upper-level industrial distribution class since the beginning of the sum mer, and I won't know if I got it a week before class starts," said Hank Hortenstine, a senior industrial distribution major. To answer the growing needs of the student population, department heads and and faculty members have taken this ongoing and expanding problem to their college boards ii attempts to gain additional fundingto both ease the burden on the faculty and increase efficiency by teaching smaller classes. Through their efforts, the journalism faculty was able secure an additional section of Journalism 203 for the second sum mer session as wel I as for the fall term. Other departments have taken the problem into their own hands. Dr. Steve McDaniel, professor of marketing, said in circumstances when a large enrollment may jeopar dize the student-professor relalw- ship and sacrifice the stutels opportunity to learn, alternative courses are offered in place oftlie required course. "Our department is very student- oriented," McDaniel said. "We will do anything to accommodate the stu dent, including allowing them a 485 project course to replace a required one. We try to do anything to ensure the student's graduation date will not be postponed." T o offset the costs of ho fees and p: state legislature I care insurance pi employees of stal sides.

Flores was taken hostage around 10 a.m. CDT. By the afternoon, a crowd of more than 100 gathered outside the Catholic chancery in 90-degree weather and prayed for his release. Police Chief A1 Philippus said the ending was the best possible. "Obviously, we're very pleased with the outcome of this," he said. "God came down and really smiled on us and wrapped his arms around the situation." Philippus said Escolero, an El Salvador native who is a legal resi dent of the United States but not a citizen, was upset over his possible deportation for driving with a sus pended license. When authorities faxed Escolero the immigration status papers he requested, he finally allowed Flores to go free, placed the device on a table and walked out. He was imme diately handcuffed and driven away. The chief said the archbishop was taken to the hospital to be checked for possible back problems, but oth erwise seemed fine. flOOR FRIDAY NIGHT Roger Creager Show CANCELED ^canceled by Artist’s Management ost pe pie kr the oh VARSITY FORD SUPER SUMMER SAVINGS AT WWW.VARSITYFORDCSTX.COM WE ARE OVERSTOCKED WITH MUSTANGS RANGERS EXPLORERS COME CHECK OUT OUR SPECIALS DOWNLOAD COUPONS FOR SERVICE SPECIALS PRE-OWNED SPECIALS ARE CHANGED WEEKLY Questions? e-mail us at newcar@varsityfordcstx.com ask for rate and rebate information, run credit checks, and get price and payment information hassle free I saying, "Fool m 1 once, shame on I you.
