According to their proposal, 12 noon to 1 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays would be set aside for out of the classroom activities. While there might be some people on campus who will complain about not being able to take classes during this time block, the Forum staff feels that it is a step in the right direction towards dealing with our apathetic campus. During the free hour, such activities as Noon Seminars, student government meetings, lectures and convocations can be held. And at least one excuse (I have a classIm teaching a classIm skipping a class) for not attending such activities could be excluded. Its encouraging to see our student government working on something as worthwhile as this. And they have done a great deal of work on it. They have researched how many classes are taught during this time (of the 669 classes taught during the 1985-8- 6 school year there .. TVfcNN come. With Westminsters typically lackluster support of campus events, it is questionable whether such a step as a free hour will increase participation and attendance at free hour activities. But it is a start. If it can be followed by support in the form of interesting activities being scheduled during the free hours, it may be possible to begin turning around the apathetic attitude at Westminster.
