As of January 11, five second
year students, currently enrolled
in Japanese II, discovered their
class had been dissolved due to
low enrollment numbers. The
short-notice cancellation tran­
spired without consulting Japa­
nese instructor Kyoko Daniels.
Due to the administrative
decision of Assistant Dean of
Instruction John Hooley, students
Becky Tevis, Cindy Swick, Becky
Dykstra, Shari Burke, and Janet
Nelson are now experiencing vari­
ous difficulties due to the cancel­
lation.
Swick related she would have
to take first year Japanese at PSU
and pay double the tuition cost.
Thus, only two of the five students
can afford to continue their edu­

facing a year’s delay. Japanese

had the time and finances. She ex­
