		REVISED ARC 3.5M SCHEDULE FOR 3RD QUARTER 2001
			     E. TURNER 6/21/01


			NOTES: ***PLEASE READ***

	6/21/01 Note - Correction of typos in yesterday's preliminary
	3Q2001 schedule affecting only JH01, NM01, PU03 and PU05.

	Except in cases where strong science drivers dictate otherwise
	(a minority of cases), observing time has again been scheduled
	in half night blocks.  
	
	Scheduled engineering time for this quarter includes a 40 night
	maintenance and improvements shutdown during the monsoon season
	(43% of the total nights) and an additional 2 nights of routine
	engineering time (4% of the remaining time).

	In addition to scheduled engineering time, science observations
	may be pre-empted, sometimes on short notice, for urgent
	engineering tasks.  Such tasks include both work that is required
	to safeguard observatory personnel or facilities and that allows
	"hot pursuit" of some significant problem.

	DD01 is a set aside of four half nights (1D, 1G, 2B) of observing time
	for rapid follow-up of targets identified by the SDSS or for other
	quick response target-of-opportunity programs.  DD02 is the temporary
	designation of time expected to be assigned to the University of
	Colorado at Boulder if it joins ARC and which will otherwise revert
	to WSU.

	There is no OPEN time in the current schedule.

	Please see links off of the APO home page (http://www.apo.nmsu.edu/)
	for a web based interactive version of this schedule.

	-----
	EN Note: No science observations scheduled during EN time.
	-----
	EN01 = EN01 Gill ? O
		Routine periodic engineering and projects time.
	EN02 = EN02 Gill ? O
		Annual maintenance and improvements shutdown in the monsoon
		season.

	-----
	DD Note: Director's Discretionary Time (01=4% of non-shutdown time)
	-----
	DD01 = 013DD01 TBD TBD TBD
	DD02 = 013DD02 TBD TBD TBD
		This time will be assigned to the University of Colorado at
		Boulder or revert to WSU.

	-----
	JHU Note:  100% of nominal share scheduled.
	Time allocations listed 
	in the individual requests do
	not agree with those tabulated in the overall summary.  The same
	problem occurred in the previous two quarters.
	JHU Scheduler - Please edit 
	individual requests to match TAC allocations in the future; this 
	will save me a lot of time and confusion.  Also, please send the
	requests in the order of decreasing priority.
	-----
	JH01 = 01 Wyse G O
	JH02 = 02 Colb S O
		One PI per program please.
	JH03.G = 03 Zhen G R
	JH03.D = 03 Zhen D R (low)
		Request does not indicate which nights to be scheduled
		with which instruments and is not correctly filled out
		in other respects.  I used my best guesses.
	JH04 = 04 Glaz E O
		This is a TOO program which may pre-empt other programs
		on VERY short notice (minutes) in order to obtain very
		early GRB afterglow observations; no time assigned in
		this schedule.

	-----
	NMSU Note: 100% of nominal share scheduled.
	-----
	NM01 = NM01 Vogt D O (medium)
	NM02.G = NM02 Geli G R
	NM02.S = NM02 Geli S R
	NM03 = NM03 Harr D R (high)
	NM04 = NM04 Nitt D O (medium)

	PU Note: 100% of nominal share scheduled.
	-----
	PU01 = PU01 Pind D R (low)
	PU02.G = PU02 Stra G R
	PU02.D = PU02 Stra D R (low)
		Please name one PI per program; it is not important who it
		is, but it is useful for administrative and communication
		purposes.
	PU03 = PU03 Turn S O 
		Non-block scheduling.  See note in BLOCK CAPS just before 
		schedule below.
	PU04 = PU04 Hall D O (low, medium)
	PU05 = PU05 Knap D R (low)

	-----
	UC Note: 104% of nominal share scheduled.  Flexibility time added
	to UC06.
	-----
	UC01 = 367 Oka E R
	UC02 = 369 Dunc E R
	UC03 = 370 Gate D R (low)
		Only 2 half nights available in September second halves
		at this priority.
	UC04 = 371 Berk D R (low)
		Only 3 first halves available in July at this priority.
	UC05 = 373 Frie D R (low)
		No full night D blocks available at this priority.
	UC06 = 368 York D/E R (medium)
	UC07 = 372 York S/G R
		Adler Planetarium twilight program (not accounted to UC).
		Use instrument mounted for the night's first program.

	UW08 = UW08 Stub S R
	
	+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
	+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
	MOST PROGRAMS ARE SCHEDULED IN HALF NIGHT BLOCKS.  THE FIRST HALF OF
	EACH NIGHT EXTENDS FROM -12 DEGREE EVENING TWILIGHT UNTIL 0110 MDT.
	THE SECOND HALF FOLLOWS UNTIL -12 DEGREE MORNING TWILIGHT.

	FIRST HALF IS INDICATED BELOW AS "A"; THE SECOND, AS "B".

	THIS QUARTER ONLY ONE PROGRAM USES NON-BLOCK SCHEDULING.
	THIS PROGRAM IS INDICATED IN PARENTHESES () ON THE SCHEDULE
	AND ITS TIME ALLOTMENTS IS LISTED HERE:
	PU03 = 45 MIN EACH TIME SCHEDULED.

	INSTRUMENT CHANGE TIMES ARE NOT INCLUDED BELOW BUT WILL BE INDICATED
	IN THE SCHEDULE ISSUED FROM APO AND WILL BE SHARED BETWEEN ADJOINING
	PROGRAMS AS USUAL.
