Anyone who has a friend in another MARTIN WHO? college or university in Missourri knows that UM was the only school that did not observe the national holiday of Martin Luther King's ) birthday. However, the situation will be remedied next year when classes will be canceled, said Assistant to the Chancellor for Minority Affairs Norman Seay. It seems slightly hypocritical to project an image of a great pro­ tector of minority rights and then deny the students, faculty and staff a holiday celebrating the birth of the Civil Rights Movement and its greatest leader. The whole situation seems to contradict the rhetoric of university officials in speeches and policy statements. The Office of University Relations in Columbia explained that four personal holidays ar~ given to faculty and staff to take when they choose for things like M.L. King Day, Yom Kippur and Easter. That's fine for the faculty and staff, but what about situations such as this year when the holiday fell on the first day of classes? Some pro­ fessors could choose to use one of their personal days and then the stUdents miss a day of class anyway. Why is the University the only state organization not closed on a national holiday? The univerSity closes for Labor Day, which surely can't be considered more important than a celebration of civil rights advances and awareness of shortcommings that still remain. Civil rights issues are some of the things that inspired the founders of the United States to write the Declaration of Independence and are the basis for the Bill of Rights of the U.S. Constitution. It's not a burning topic of debate or a major issue on the four cam­ puses, but it is something to think about. If administrators are worried about missing a day of class, the semester can always start a few days early - or later. More than a few union men would scream if Labor Day wasn't observed. It's just one ofthose things that make one wonder how serious the university is about some of its policies. It's almost as if adding the holiday was a n afterthought. St. Louis area public schools and some colleges have observed ~ilartin Luther King Day for several years whIle UM remained the last one to change. . The university should recognize the gaps between appearance and reality in certain policies and whole-heartedly pursue the Ideals they uphold for all to see. Tempus Fugit Seems like just the other day that we were all scrambling to finish final exams and papers, burning the midnight oil to meet that big deadline - the end of the semester. And here we are again, already. at the beginning cif a new one. The continuum of college life seems hardly broken. The lines at the bookstore and a t the registrar's office that we face this week seem not so remote from the lines of a few months ago. The course-work and the daily drudgery of getting out of bed early in the morning do not even seem to have halted a month for that brief, oh­ so-brief, winte r vacation. Time marches on (or hurls itself with dizzying speed). But if the s emester break was too short, too fleeting, can the seme ster ahead r eally be as long as it seems? Maybe. But then again, mightn't the s emester, too, fly quickly into mid-term, and mid-term into spring break, and spring break into finals week? Why before we know it, we'll be knee-deep in papers and projects and deadlines aga in. Tests will come and go These all somehow quicken t ime. Relentless time. Physicists know that time is elastic. Philosophers know that in it lies wis dom. Historians know its immensity, its breadth and its depth. Businessmen know that time is money. Students know that time holds the process of achievement, of an end in sight, an educa­ tion and a degree . . We grapple with tim e across this campus, hustling to class, mak­ ing our schedules, checking our watches (the clocks on this campus, of cours e, are useless).
