...Holiday" has lost its meaning. For the students of Chemistry 30, there will be little to give thanks for this Thanksgiving. Professors Peter Chen and Yoshito Kishi have scheduled the third exam in Chemistry 30 for Monday, November 29th at 8 a.m. When one considers all the drawbacks of scheduling the exam for that date, one must wonder how such poor planning could have come about, and why, once objections to the date were raised, the date has not been changed...
...rate tickets, the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of the Thanksgiving weekend are likely to be black-out days (days on which reduced or free tickets from frequent flyer bonuses cannot be used).

It is hard to imagine why the exam cannot be given on Wednesday, December...
Some Chemistry 30 students cite this exam date as another of the trials endured by Harvard pre-meds. One said, "if this were a Core class, the instructors would never schedule an exam for 8 a.m. on the day after Thanksgiving--No one would go." I'm not a pre-med. Why do I care? Why am I writing this letter? Many of my good friends are pre-meds. I hear frequent complaints about 9 a.m. classes, clicker pens, and 20 page problem sets done on the computer. Perhaps some Chemistry 30 students would choose to spend their Thanksgiving break...
