<p>Anyone know if he has class this Monday Columbus Day?</p>
<p>He teaches ethnic studies MWF from 1 to 2 p.m.</p>
<p>Thanks :) I know it's a random question, but it would help if I could get an answer asap. thanks!</p>
<p>bump...are classes open on columbus day??</p>
<p>i think all classes are open columbus day...</p>
<p>why don't you just email him?</p>
<p>i did but he hasn't answered yet, and i'm planning on going this monday...so for sure, classes are open?</p>
<p>ya, why wouldn't they be? dood, if monday was a holiday it'd be AMAZING.</p>
<p>so columbus day is not recognized in college?
b/c we have the day off in high school...</p>
<p>i think it's cause we get caesar chavez day or something</p>
<p>...so yes school monday or no school monday? lol. i need a definite answer so i can see if i'm going to be taking that half hour ride to berkeley or not :)</p>
<p>Yes, there is school Monday. There shouldn't be any reason to believe that your specific professor will cancel class unless he explicitly mentioned so. </p>
<p>And every school is different concerning holidays not including the major ones. You can consult the Registar Calendar for future reference:</p>
<p>There are classes on Monday. Columbus Day is not recognized as a holiday in Berkeley. I guess we don't really care for the day when America was founded.</p>
<p>Only holidays we get off from now until winter break are Veteran's Day and the Thanksgiving weekend.</p>
<p>um...america wasn't founded, it was discovered...and it wasn't anything new...it was always there, there were people living here. It was probably better off before any european showed up. so maybe it isn't really anything to celebrate.</p>
<p>that's why it's been termed "indigenous people's day" while i'm not a stickler for political correctness, it's sounds like a good idea...marking the begining of a genocide by giving the tattered people at least some sort of symbolic holiday.</p>
<p>In addition to what punkdudeus said, America was already "discovered" by Europeans in the 1300s by Vikings... so it really isn't a big deal at all.</p>
<p>kay i'm coming tomorrow, yay! :)</p>
<p>Have fun, and don't forget to stop by Sproul at lunch.</p>
<p>i'm fasting, actually :) but i usually have lunch at telegraph when i come to berkeley (my friends think i live there during the weekends because i'm ALWAYS there :))</p>
<p>do you guys happen to know where 4 LE CONTE is? is that far from the bart station? it's where the ethnic studies building is.</p>
<p>bump. 10 charac</p>
<p>I'd say that's moderately far. LeConte is located in the middle of campus, right next to the Campanille. If you walk up the hill towards the Campanille and go straight past the 4.0 ball, you'll end up in front of LeConte's steps.</p>
<p>yeah, whatever. I'm not a history major.</p>
