Midweek holiday pays off in Atlanta
Wednesdays are wonderful at Emory University in Atlanta, Ga.
The university's administrators call it "Creative Wednesday" a day each week during which there are no classes or student activities but the free day has caught on so well that both students and faculty call it "Wonderful Wednesday."
EACH WEDNESDAY LEAVES the school's 2,200 undergraduates free to unwind, read, study, take up hobbies, or just catch up on sleep.
Dean John Stephens at Emory says the midweek vacation is designed to give students "an incentive to educate themselves."
The students use Wonderful Wednesday, which began last January, in a variety of ways—libraries are unusually full on the free days; some students spend the day tutoring children in an Atlanta slum; and others just sleep off Tuesday night's beer party.
DEAN STEPHENS SAYS there is some evidence to prove Wonderful Wednesday has paid off. Some teachers report that class attendance is higher than last year and, during the winter quarter, 24 per cent of the students made the Dean's list, compared with 21.1 per cent a year ago.
Two weeks ago, the faculty legislative council at Emory overwhelmingly voted to continue Wonderful Wednesday for another year.
