As the Indiana Supreme Court transferred power to the state's lieutenant governor Wednesday morning, doctors for Gov. Frank O'Bannon said he is showing small signs of improvement.

Saturday classes? IU says not yet

·

Rumors that IU will enact 7:30 a.m. classes and classes on Saturday next year aren't true -- yet. The Wall Street Journal published an article Aug. 29 entitled, "Giving Fridays some class." The story, by Elizabeth Bernstein, noted that IU was considering 7:30 a.m. and Saturday classes. While these changes will not begin in 2004, the schedule changes may occur in the future in order to open up more classroom space, the Office of the Registrar said. A combination of factors, including rising enrollment and trends toward smaller class sizes and a four-day teaching week are straining IU to find space for all its classes, said IU Registrar Roland Coté.
