BY MARC KLEIN Contributing Writer

When classes began last Monday, Stacia Zabusky, assistant professor of anthropology, was pleased with the small size of her dis­ cussion course on na­ tions and ethnic conflict. But within a week, the class of nine grew to 14 people, many of whom missed more than the first two ses­ sions of class. "Should I not give assignments in the first two weeks of class?" asked BARDAGLIO Zabusky, who said it is frustrating to jump-start students into the coursework two weeks into the semester. The add/drop period could decrease from two weeks to one if a proposal to the cur­ rent system receives final approval. Facul­ ty Council unanimously endorsed the pro­ posal last week. It contains four main points: The regis­ tration and override process would change, first-day attendance would be mandatory, time to add and drop classes would decrease and faculty would be able to easily monitor changes to their class lists.

PAGE14 -Roger Casterline, Page 5 p1n1on Editorials Iraq funding fiasco Money for education, not political agendas e some might commend Maura Stel'hens r her willingness to join a peace miss10n to WEIraq, it is inappropriate that Ithaca College ever considered funding her trip. The institution's mission should be ¢ucating students, not furthering the polit­ ical agendas of its staff members and administrators. Four different college .offices initially agreed to con­ tribute $500 each to help Stephens, editor of the Itha­ ca Cbllege Quarterly, make a trip to Iraq with a women's peace delegation. It was only when an ltha,can Online story published Tuesday raised questions regarding the purpose and legality of the· trip that the college began to question its decision. Stephens then gracefully withdrew her request for funding, letting the college off the hook. Yet questions remain. Why were administrators willing to fund a jour­ ney whose purpose and legality were not clear? Who determined that this trip was more valuable to the col­ lege than a host of other projects on which money could be spent? Why did administrators not communicate with each other more clearly about the request? In the same vein, when ~tephens asked for the mon­ ey, she should have been completely forthright and honest about her intention to spread an activist mes­ Letters, sage.
