One university I teach at has classes on May 3 and 4. Fortunately, I don’t teach there on Thursdays or Fridays, so I only had to work on May 1 this year. Regarding the holidays, there seem to be three types of university. Type 1 offers classes according to the calendar. Type 2 offers classes every day. Type 3 closes from the beginning to the end of Golden Week. I wish all universities would follow Type 3. Until 20 years ago, the only schools that offered classes on holidays were cram schools. I feel that universities are becoming more and more like cram schools. (Written by a reader)

Note:
conductor 車掌
—————————————
The guide tried to stop the train by hitting the window with his hands, but it didn’t stop. Instead, the police arrested him after seeing him on the station camera. He told them that he had to get back to his group on the train, but they didn’t believe him. They called the Cassiopeia, and luckily the conductor said that he was telling the truth. But how did the he get back to the train? A police officer took him to Fukushima by Shinkansen. When the Cassiopeia came into the station, he got back on. It was still early in the morning, so no one on the tour ever found out! (by Prof. Doulas Jarrell)
