ENROLLMENT
INCREASE HAS
DRAWBACKS
By Dawn Taylcr
Reporter
Students taking care of busi-
ness in the administration building
last week found themselves
standing in I ine, regardless of which
department they needed. Of course,
the first few weeks of class are
always busy, but the lines have
been longer than usual. The reason:
an increased number of students
on campus. Although the exact
number of students enrolled for
the semester is not yet known,
larger classes and full dorms are a
good indication that the number
will be high.
Last semester brought 306
students living on campus. Cur-
rently there are no rooms avail-
able for men and only a few left
for women seeking to live on
campus. Relocating the Science
and Humanities professors who
have their offices in Stella Russell
Hall would free up to 48 more
beds, but the problem is finding
new accommodations for those
professors.
The increased number of stu-
dents has also added to the park-
ing problem. There are not enough
parking places for students during
peak hours, causing some to park
on the streets. This increases
security’s work load, as (he area
that needs patrolling has been en-
larged. A glimmer of hope is that
the university has purchased land
adjacent to the campus that could
be used for parking.
Every department, from Ad-
missions to Food Services, has seen
more traffic than usual. Dean of
Students Loralee Pohl says that
she has definitely seen more stu-
dents in her office than in past
years, but feels as though the in-
creased enrollment has made the
campus more exciting. She notes
that a steady number of students on
campus throughout the day makes
the university seem more alive,
and an increased attendance at
school programs builds school
spirit.

the crunch increased enrollment
has placed on most departments.
Most offices are trying to serve a
larger number of students without
an increase in staff For example,
the cafeteria and the sub arc both
serving many more students, but
are doing so with the same number
ofemployees. Consequently, lunch
hour often means standing in line.
An obvious answer to the
problem is to hire more employ-
ees. However, with the university
seeking to trim its budget in the
1994-95 academic year, that is
not likely to happen. While most
offices say that they will strive to
maintain a high level of service,
some areas are definitely going to
suffer. Campus jobs will be more
readily available for students who
qualify for work-study than for
student assistants, making it diffi-
cult for some students to find em-
ployment Moreover, though they
have more students to work with,
hall managers will have some of
their benefits cut.
Most departments find them-
selves faced with a similar situa-
tion. They have more work to do
and are being asked to do it on less
money. How will they do it?
How will it affect students? Stay

SPRING BREAK
TIMING CAUSES
PROBLEMS
FOR STUDENTS
By Mary Beth Sisolak
Reporter
There has been much con-
troversy this year as to why spring
break was moved. This school
year, unlike years past, spring
break and Easter vacation have
been combined to form one holi-
day.
Normally Wesleyan'sspring
break coincides with Fort Worth
ISD and many other local school
districts. This years break falls
during the week of March 14-18,
which is when Wesleyan’s School
of Law will take theirs. However,
after much debate and discussion,
spring break will begin Friday,
Mar. 25 and last until Friday, Apr.
1.
This decision was made for
educational reason. Normally,
spring break and Easter are sepa-
rate holidays, but due to Easter
occurring early this year, the two
have been combined. Had this
change not been made, students
would have had spring break, with
a four day weekend for Easter
break.
Dr. Mark Wasicsko said, “last
time spring and Easter fell so
closely together we did not com-
bine them and for those four days
many students were ‘sick’.’’ This
decision was made by The Aca-
demic Council after much debate
and discussion when making the
1993-1994 school calendar ap-
proximately a year and a half ago.
Many students are upset by
the news. The non-traditional
student with children will have
problems for they will either have
to miss class, put the children in
daycare, pay for a babysitter, or
bring theirchildren to class due to
the change. Dr. Tom Smith said,
“It is a problem for those people
who have children.”
Senior Jon Davis said, “I
don't like it because I can't plan
trips with my Biends from other
colleges or with my family.”
Dr. Wasicsko has made as-
surances that this change is just
for this year. Based on the success
or future of the break, it maybe
used again if Easter occurs early
again. Finally, Wasiscko said,“It
was the academically sound thing
to do.”
Spring Break begins 8 a.m.,
Friday, March 25 and classes re-
sume 8 a.m., Monday, April 4.
