Students React to Fall Break Cancellation GRET WATTS CONTRIBUTING WRITER Students React to the Cancellation of Fall Break Greg Watts, Contributing Writer Students at Western Carolina University have exhibited mixed reactions to the announcement that fall break will be eliminated next year. To bring the university into compliance with UNC system guidelines, the Office of Academic Affairs restructured the academic calendar to include 75 days of instruction. The old calendar included only 73. In the February 20 issue of The Western Carolinian, it was reported that several complex factors affected the decision. Included were the system requirements, maintenance of hot water facilities, the decision to hold commencement on Saturday, and residence hall upkeep. Several students were randomly polled on campus to find out how they felt about the change. According to informal interviews, nine out of ten people did not support the move. Negative reaction to the change centered around the loss of the fall break tradition. "I feel that classes are stressful enough with a break, and without a break from classes, students are sure become burned out," said junior communications major Malisa Rorie. Supporting the same sentiment, sophomore political > science major Kevin Bradish said, "As a student you look forward to any type of vacation that you can get from school even if it is only for a few days." Eight other students who participated in the poll said that they did not care for the policy change. All agreed that a break is needed early in the fall semester to relieve the stress that comes with the beginning of the new school year. On the positive side, sophomore business major Michael Bledsoe supports the decision, citing academic reasons. "We will get a vacation for Thanksgiving and the Christmas holidays, and by eliminating fall break, we will get an opportunity to receive more grades in our classes," he said.
