Computer error extends vacation
Boulder, Colo. (AP) - Cheers rang out from the line at the campus bookstore when the announcement was made, and the parties went well into the night.
The 21,464 students at the University of Colorado were getting a surprise two-day extension of summer vacation because a new graduate class schedules for more than half of them.
THE OPENING of the fall term, scheduled for yesterday, was postponed until tomorrow after officials discovered the computer had gone haywire.
Bor Bobchers, vice president of academic 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 over rather than ask students to straighten out the errors on their own.
IT DID NOT take students long to figure out how to use the unexpected free time. Throughout Boulder, students took to lawns, played basketball yesterday to catch the late-summer sun.

DUESSELDORF, West Germany (AP)—Police action on a telephone tip shot and killed Willy Peter Stoll, one of West Germany's most sought-after suspected terrorists, in a Chinese restaurant last night.
After a conference committee works out a compromise between the versions passed by the House and Senate, the budget will limit expenditures and tax cuts during the following 15 months.
BEFORE APPROVING the budget, the Senate rejected three efforts to cut below the figures recommended by the Budget Committee.
A 44-25 vote rejected an amendment by Sen. William Proxmire, D-Wis., that would cut budget authority appropriations by 3 percent, to $45 billion.
The 28-year old Stoll, described as a top figure in the Red Army faction that grew out of the notorious Baader-Mienhof gang, was sought in the slayings last year of chief Petra Schultz, designated Buback, banker Juergen Ponto and industrialist Hans-Martin Schleier.

GARDEN CITY (UPI)—The Kansas Supreme Court will hear arguments on a case filed by teachers hoping to force the board of education of Unified School District 457 to reopen negotiations on their current contract.
