TWELVE{fhe J>ress/Friday. February 6, 1989 THE PRESS EDITORIAL Improper timing of breaks Most people look forward to breaks from school, and are considerably relaxed about returning when they're over. However, this iS ()ne time at which students sl1ou/d not, and will n()f be as relaxed. This year's spring break runs frorn March 17, until March 24. For those who have not yet looked at their calendars, the day we will be returning to school falls on Easter Sunday. It is safe to assume that the majority of the school's population ob- serves this holiday, and would consider this year's break schedule to be a prime example of insuffi- cient planning. There is pretty much no way to rectify this unfor- tunate situation, and it would be unrealistic to think that the break schedule can IJe changed, when it is already less than two months away. There is nothing left to do but to !lccept the facts, and plan around the break. Each time a holiday approaches, there is inevita- bly a group on campus who protests the timing, or lack of, a break. It would be comforting if the students at the State University College at Cort- land knew that they would be able to be with their loved ones on the holidays that they are accus- tomed to observing at home. Tltis would allow students t() concentrate on scho()lwork, rather than how and when they will travel between school . and home. Again, it is unrealistic to think that the campus calendar can be changed so late in the semester. But perhaps~ in the future~ we can be reassured that during major holidays we will not be expected to be in Cortland. President Clark and the Calen- dar Committee should closely examine the dates of major holidays.

Brennan and Kay Wilkins COMMENTS Youth assist volunteers needed To The Editor: . I would like to express my appre- ciation to all the students who committed some of their time last semester to a youth in the com- munity. These students recog- nized the need that troubled youth have for close trusting friendships. By dedicating a few hours each week. these students sought to help the~e youths by developing needed friendships. Thanks goes out to all volunteers a~ well a~ the re\t of the Cortland College Community, for their support in recruiting volunteers for the Youth Assist Program of the Volunteer Family Counsel- ing Service. This semester is full of exciting activities for the youths and vol- unteers in the Youth Program. However, there is still a need for several caring and dedicated in- dividuals who are willing to be- come involved in this worthwhile cause. A special informational presen- tation is scheduled to take place on Monday, February 6th at 7 pm in room 209 of Corey Union. This meeting is open to all who are interested in learning more about the Youth Assist Program and those desiring to become volun- teers, themselves.
