Opening a training table for stu
dents who arc low in their studies
and behind in their work is being
considered by College authorities be
cause of, the favorable results,

Maintaining a special table for un
derweights during the past ten week 3,
College physicians reported that not
able improvements were made (n all
patients. In addition to the.better,
health of the men, a general marked
improvement in morale and studies
was attained by the class, according
to Dr Joseph P. Ritenour, director of
the health service.
Twenty three men composed the
class apd recorded an average gam
of one pound a week du y i n'g

Bissey To Propose System
Eliminating Conflict Exams
Cites Moving Up of Commencement as Cause
For Confusion in Finals • Schedule
Occurring This Semester
- Confusion in the scheduling of final examinations this year was caused
by the advancement of Commencement one day and the consequent
necessity for reporting senior grades earlier, Cyrus V D. Bissey, College
scheduling officer, said yesterday. A system foi next year, planned to elim
inate conflicts entirely, will be presented to the administrative council for
approval Monday. '
With the moving up of Alumni day to Saturday at the request of alum
ni, Commencement had to be advanced a day. This arrangement made nec
essary an earlier recording of senior grades and the scheduling of senior
final examinations a day sooner, Mr.'
Bissey explained.
This semester, with senior exami
nations a day'earlier than last year
and the examinations for the other
classes at,the customary time, a large
number of the examinations naturally
conflicted. with regular class hours
and examination periods, Mr. Bissey
said. It is obvious that a new sys
tem must be worked out to accommo
date the change in Commencement
dates, the scheduling officer said
According to the plan which will
be considered by the administrative
council, all courses which have class
periods scheduled in the 3ame scries
of hours during the week will have
their final examinations scheduled to
gether. For example, Mr. Bissey
said, all classes which meet on Mon
day at 8 o'clock, and therefore to
gether throughout the week, might
b« scheduled for examinations at 2
o'clock the Monday of examination
week.
To-Eliminatc Conflicts
Since there'are only eleven differ
ent scries of class periods assigned
for three hour courses, it is possible
to have a different examination tunc
set for each one of the scries and
yet have only two periods for quizzes
each day during examination week
This would eliminate the possibility
of any student having three exami
nations set for one day.
It would be impossible for a stu
dent to have conflicting quizzes sched
uled under this plan because he could
not be taking two courses during the
same class hours in the week and so
could not have .two -examinations
scheduled at the same time. This re
sults from the system of scheduling
only those courses which have the
same class hours for a specific exam
ination time.
