College Ends Friday Classes to Save Gas Money for Students


MIDWEST CITY, Oklahoma - With gasoline prices hovering around $3 a gallon, an Oklahoma college is eliminating Friday classes to help reduce commuting costs for its students.
Rose State College currently offers 60 minute classes on Monday, Wednesday and alternating Fridays and 75 minute classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. With the schedule change, Monday and Wednesday classes will switch to the 75 minute format starting in the spring semester.
"It helps out the students and saves them one trip a week here," said Ric Baser, vice president of academic affairs. "We are a commuter campus, so we were really paying attention to that." Full Story - Discount Magazine Subscriptions - Discount Cigarettes & Tobacco - Frederick's of Hollywood
