Home for Easter
Page 2-the Daily Collegian-April 13. 1982
Students need travel day to get back
Sunday was Easter. The next day, Monday,
was the day classes resumed. And that is the
Monday should be a travel day.
There are four holidays that are traditionally recognized as family-oriented holidays in
this country. They are Easter, Independence
Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Yet, because classes resume on Monday,
students must spend Easter on the road. California Highway 99 is hardly a substitute for
your family.
If Monday were an off-day, students would
be able to spend Easter the traditional family
way—attending Easter services, hiding eggs
for the younger members, and eating a hearty
meal.
The way it stands now, students living in
cither the San Francisco Bay or Los Angeles
areas (and there are many of them) must leave
by mid afternoon in order to be back in
Fresno at a decent hi
There are at least
here:
• Many sociologists fear that the institution of family is in serious jeopardy. Forcing
students to leave on a family-oriented holiday
certainly doesn't help the situation any.
• Making Monday a travel day would also
help relieve holiday traffic. Although exact
statistics are not available, approximately
12.000 of CSUF's 16,300 students are from
out of the university's service area (Fresno,
Madera, Kings and Tulare counties). A good
deal of those are traveling on Easter.
A certain argument against this proposal is
the nine days between the day classes are let
out and the day they resume. The response to
that argument is very simple indeed.
Easter carries a significance as a Christian
holiday all its own. There is no other day that
can take its place.
Another argument is the rest of the academic calendar. By taking away a day in the
middle of the semester, another day would
have to be added at the end of the semester.
That day would be a Monday, which would be
fine since several past commencement ceremonies have been held on a Tuesday or Wednesday, despite the fact that finals landed on
the previous Friday.
The only alternate to allow students to
spend Easter as Easter would be to paint their
cars like Easter eggs and drive them tovschool.
