FRIDAY. JANUARY 19. 1996

1 "tjL! i -vv • fMlSSi «v If ill ra; 'J; r. Staff workers deserve day off.

When the University Council established Martin Luther King Day as a faculty/student holiday in 1993, they had the right sentiment. V But lhey had the wrong idea. ^ M LK1 )ay has been a national holiday since 1986. Since then, most Americans, have been given time off on the third Monday of each January to jnty tribute to the individual who played such an important role in ending legal segregation and discrimination based on race. While most universities throughout the nation quickly followed suit in observing MLK Day, Rice was among the stragglers. One reason for the delay was that some believed that cancelling classes was not the best way to pay tribute — students would merely use the three--day weekend for other purposes. Of course, the naysayers lost, and MLK Day is now a faculty/ • 'a /y/t'W ' •Sit**-*- student holiday. Unfortunately, the council members who approved the new holiday did not take into consideration those who would be most likely to use the holiday as it was meant to be used.
