by Robert £1armann News Editor Day classes were not cancelled last Monday. February 7. In talking to Dean Bernard Brown, Newapeak learned that only night classes were cancelled. Brown said that most day students are within a close distance to campus and therefore. despite the storm, should have had no problem In attending their classes. Night students, on the other hand, must commute from as far away as Boston to attend their classes. Roger Albrecht, the Director of the Personnel Department. announced that exempt staff (mostly secretaries) could leave campus at 1 :00 p.m. The non exempt staff (professors and profes sionals) were not notified that they could leave because of the weather conditions. Some classes were can celled only because the instructing professor could not travel on that day. Several radio stations incorrectly an nounced that both WPI day and night classes were cancelled. Day classes at WPI have not been cancelled since the Blizzard of 1978. ~ * Photo by Dave Drab.
