On Tuesday, a childrens' parade will begin at 9 a.m.
downtown, and activities like apple and cherry pie eating
contests and watermelon-seed spitting contest will con
tinue all day and conclude with a fireworks show at Kate
Barr Ross Park.
Art Jacoby, a volunteer at the Hearts Veteran Museum,
said the military presentations attract many people.
"Most people are interested in the presentations,
specifically the one given by Sergeant Major Copeland,"
Jacoby said.

interaction that plays an vital role in
many students' learning styles.
"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."

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.
