UC Berkeley Announces Progressive "Eighth" System

In a recent statement released by chancellor Nicholas B. Dirks, University of California Berkeley will be undergoing a change that all of its students will learn to cherish.  After realizing the efficiency and superiority of the rest of UC's quarter system, innovative and progressive UC Berkeley decided to take the leap from semesters to a new "Eighth" system.

Students will be happy to hear that each week they can expect another midterm before completing the eighth within five weeks before finals.  "I can't wait for this new system! Here we are dragging out our learning experience, when we could be in and out of our classes within 5 weeks," stated Candice Sherman, sophomore.

With this exciting and revolutionary breakthrough in the way schools cram information down students' throats on the cusp, one can only expect to see an even greater influx of applications.  Dirks stated, "If you thought you were going to have a hard time gaining admission into one of America's most sought after academic institutions before, you certainly have less of a chance now.  Many prospective students will have an even higher probability of facing the disappointment of their parents/guardians before the beginning of next year's academic calendar."
