DEAR EDITOR ITOR :
On Tuesday, Feb. 2, I received a voice message about a class that I wanted to add , which requires the approval of a counselor. I called the counselor’s office and found out that the office was not open until 6:30 p.m. I rushed to the administration building by 6:00 p.m. and found a sign that said, “Be back in ten minutes” on the counter. There were students ahead of me and I figured that they must have been there for at least 10 minutes before I arrived. The person got back to the office by 6:15 p.m. Because of this incident, I had no choice but to be late for my 6:30 p.m class. I understand that because of the budget cuts there is now less staff to address student concerns. However, it is a disservice to the students when the administrative assistant took an extended leave from her post since it caused an unnecessary delay for others. I suggest next time when leaving the post, the sign should say “Be back at 6:15 p.m,” instead of “Be back in 10 minutes,” as nobody can figure out how long is the “10 minutes.”
