The 21,464 students at the University
of Colorado were getting a surprise two-
day extension of summer vacation
because a computer fouled up class
schedules for more than half of them.
THE OPENING of the fall term,
scheduled for Wednesday,' was post-
poned until today after officials
discovered the computer had gone
haywire.
Bob Borchers, vice president of
acadiemic affairs, said some seniors
were closed out of required classes and
freshmen were assigned in their places.
In other cases, he said, students were
denied access to classes that were not
filled.
The number of mistakes was so
great, Borchers said, that it was easier
to start all over again rather than ask
ts topk to lawns, balconies and roofs
Wednesday to catch the late-summer
sun.
John Mensendiek, a junior from
Camarillo, Calif., said he had taken ad-
vantage of some of the pre-semester
parties that lasted far into the morning..
"I would have had an 8 o'clock class
this morning, and I sure wouldn't have
been out that late if classes had started
today," he said.
AT THE DELTA Delta sorority
house, junior Kathy Kornberg of Lake
Oswego, Ore., said she and half of her
110 sorority sisters were taking off for a
day of innertube floating at nearby
Eldorado Springs. The rest of the house
members, she said, planned a
minicamping trip into the mountains.
The university's dean of admission
and records, William Douglas, said the
computer mishap was "basically .a
human error" that occurred When
someone placed an old program in the
computer instead of a revision showing
new classes, times and locations.
"Someone picked up the wrong
tape," he said.
