ing the campaigns course, said the
class is important for concluding the
public relations sequence because it
gives students the chance to work di
rectly with community clients to
create their own public relations
campaign.
"The campaigns course gives stu
dents an opportunity to put their
coursework into practice," he said.
Kerber said the Public Relations
Campaigns course requires a special
ized instructor, which makes it diffi
cult to add a second class to the sched
ule, but material will be added to the
substitute class that focuses on public
relations.
"Nobody over here wants any
body to feel shortchanged in any
way," he said.
Kerber said the journalism school
requires students to finish their pre
major requirements by the end of
their sophomore year to guarantee
they will be able to finish their major
requirements in time to graduate their
senior year. He said the students tak
ing this class likely tried to cram six
terms' worth of classes into too short
of a time period.
"Those aren't the people who be
come accommodated first," he said.
Morgan said she understands
scheduling conflicts occur, but she ap
plied for major status just one term
behind schedule and feels she should
be given the same opportunities as
other students.
She said she is frustrated that she
has to pay the same amount of tuition
for a sequence that has so few courses.
in it to begin with. She said the class
would have been beneficial to her ed
ucation, and she had been looking
forward to completing it.
"It's so disappointing when you
look forward to something like that,"
Morgan said.
Other department heads agreed
students need to be working with ad
visers and planning far ahead to en
sure they will remain on track.
Chemistry Department Head Tom
Dyke said students should give them
selves three to four years to plan for
graduation in his department, and
there is little he can do when students
try to fit classes in at the last minute.
"Those kinds of problems are un
fortunate," he said.
History Department Undergradu
ate Coordinator Julie White said
spring term occasionally brings
scrambling seniors who need one last
class, but most students give them
selves plenty of time to finish.
"The professors usually, if it's a
graduating senior, will make an ex
ception," she said.
Academic Advising Counselor Car
olyn Moravek said students need to
get in touch and stay in touch with ad
visers to evaluate their progress to
ward graduation. She added that even
though advising is encouraged, many
students don't take the advice.
"Everybody waits until the last
minute on everything," she said.
Moravek said if students come in
late in their college careers, the dam
age is usually already done.

of mutual hostility. *
Weiss, a specialist on Pakistan, spoke primarily on
that country's reaction to the U.S. invasions of
Afghanistan and Iraq. She too noted that increased
American imperialism has led to anti-American senti

Weiss echoed Murphy's statements that the Unite
State's current policies strengthen the opposition.
"Support for Osama bin Laden has risen since our in
vasion of Iraq," Weiss said.
Also damaging in terms of long-term relations with Pak
istan is the emergence of religious schools, Weiss said. The
current government is investing much of the nation's re
sources on nuclear weapons programs (with U.S. approval)
instead of investing in its people; she said.
