ASUC Begins Mobilizing Against Change in Drop Deadline
There has been talk of moving up the drop deadline, to as little as two weeks into the semester for impacted classes. The Daily Cal had an article on the subject, "Drop Date Could Move Up Six Weeks" from the beginning of the year. Now the ASUC is gearing up to mount a coordinated offensive. Here is the text of an e-mail I received on the subject:

Tomorrow is the 2nd President’s Council of the year and it is going to be a very important one! Academic, EVP and Senators have planned a meeting designed to educate, organize and unite all students (not just club presidents’ this time) in order to force a rollback of the proposed 4-2 week drop deadlines. It is vital to the careers of all Cal students that there is a strong force at this meeting which will be tomorrow [October 18th] at 8 PM, 2050 VLSB. PLEASE forward this e-mail to your friends and those who you represent/ are involved in student organizations. Please help us get the word out.

More on this after the meeting.
