By Elisa Brewer Aggie News Writer . While some will admit to coming home awkwardly early from winter break, or even showing up to an empty classroom the Monday before classes began, others may have suffered in a bewildered silence.

The quirks of this quarter were actually born over five years ago, as the Office of the Registrar attempted to establish future schedules. However, the five-year standard was abandoned as the semester debate arose. Departments and campus groups prefer the five-year scheduling, and as soon as we get the official word we will commence the planning process. The Office of the Registrar presently has calendars completed through the 2001 to 2002 academic year, both of which endured an extensive consultation process. Each calendar is formulated on the basis of several guidelines specified by both the University of California and UC Davis.
