current educational dilemma.
SCARED is asking Welty to
extend the add/drop and late-regis¬
tration period to Feb. 19 to allow,
students more time to arrange their
course schedulesamfenier the uni¬
versity.
Facing reality
"The reality is grim." Green said.
"Students are'losing financial aid
because they can't get 12 units; or
if they are getting enough units,
they aren't the units they need for
graduation."
She.said SCARED is "willing to
work with the system. We know
we need more money, but we want
a quality education now."
Students misinformed
Welty addressed the group's
demands 'by first stating that he
empathizes with the plightof stu¬
dents, but thinks |hat they are "con¬
fused" about class size limit policy.
,' "We unfortunately are in a situ¬
ation where we" don't haveenough
njoney to hire enough faculty to
jtaet students' needs," Welty said.
"It will do no one any good to
just pack classrooms."
Both Welty and Gonzales said
that the administration has not im¬
posed class size limits and-that
students have been receiving "mis¬
information" from the faculty.
Green refuted their assertion that
there are no enrollment-size caps.
"If the situation with the caps is
non-existent, then it needs to be
made clear that faculty can add
students.
"It is not fair to students who are
being kicked out of classes with 20
empty chairs, but this is the reality
we deal with every day," she said.
Setting priorities
Welty agreed that something
must be done, and said he would
meet with other administrators at a
later date in-order to set "priori¬
ties."
Green said that time is of the

essence.
"It will do no good to set 'priori¬
ties' in the future when add/drop
ends on Friday," she said*
Gonzales said that "it is a very
complex issue, but I'll do what I
can as fast as I can."
Deadline at high noon
SCARED asked to receive a
response to their demands by to¬
day at noon, so they could inform
students of.their options.
Welty said he would try to meet
the noon deadline, but he would
tlefinitely have an answer by 2
p.m. '
Green reiterated the urgency of
this matter.
"More students signed these.
cards in 48
hours than come
out to vote in a
week of ASI
elections,"
Green said.
Welty said
he was "very
disappointed"
that the group ____^^_
entered his
office without
permission, and said that the "next,'
time you (the group) walk in with¬
out permission, I will tike another
course of action." ^
He said that he wanted to work
with the group, butsuggested they
use more respectful methods in the
future.
"We unfortunately are
in a situation where we don t have enough
money to hire enough faculty to meet
students needs. It will do no good to just pack
classrooms."
— John D. Welty,
president
"I don't break into your home
or your office," Welty said.
Chris Volkerts. SCARED orga¬
nizer, said "He (Welty) doesn't
pay for our offices, we pay for his.
He gets a nice Van Ness home (for)
free, I pay rent.
"Obviously, he got the message-
that students are
serious. I was dis¬
appointed that he
felt it necessary to
criticize our meth¬
ods."
Green said
that entering his
office was "not an
- attack on (Welty),
~*~~^^^— but to impress the
urgency of
the situation on (him.)"
After the meeting. Green said
Welty seemed responsive to stu¬
dents' needs.
"We'll see how responsive (he
is) tomorrow. If he is really con¬
cerned, he will meet our two very
simple demands."
