PAGE EIGHT Watkins Explains Woes Of University Scheduling Think you have too many eight o’clocks, four o’clocks or Saturday classes? How about a few final examination conflicts? 1, just Wei Because relax, and gobble a few more aspirin tablets, troubles are here to stay, according to sched uling officer Ray V. Watkins. Watkins said these student headaches, along with a few of his own, such as how to make available rooms in which some 14,000 students can be educated, are all due to the steady increase in enrollment at the University. With tongue in cheek, he termed them, “collegiate growing pains.” Process Described these 27 Selected For Freshman Advisory Board Twenty-seven students have been selected from 61 applicants for the first Freshman Advisory Board by the freshman class offi cers. Women chosen are Lillian Cor dero, Dolores Dodson, Patricia Evans, Sandra Gusky, Nancy Han kins, Barbara Hill, Janet Ours, Carol Tuckerman, and Mary Lynn Ward. Men are John Aber, Robert Averill, Ronald Blasius, Alvin Clemens, Richard Friedman, Ed ward Hintz, Dale Hoy, George Huggler, John Hussey, Frederick L. Kerr, Louis Lasday, Herbert Levin, Juri Niiler, Samuel Par sons, John Rapchak, Louis Sava dove, Daniel Thalimer, and Walter Walsh. The Freshman Advisory Board will be in operatiorT'for the first time this year, and will organize the Freshman class dance to be held Feb. 25, according to Moyer. The dance committees will be selected at the first meeting at 2 p.m. Sunday in 218 Hetzel Union.

Joel Steen expressed the opin ion that through joining Penn State would have a better, knowl edge of what goes on at other campuses and be able to get ideas from them. Albert Leffler said he worked with a panel on NSA at the Uni versity of Pittsburgh while work ing on the newspaper there and that he is opposed to joining NSA. He feels that NSA has a dubious background and has been linked with communism. He also said that NSA has very few great uni versities on its list. Mary Cabeen thinks that NSA can do Penn State a lot of good in that the students will know more about world affairs and that the University will be joining up with other schools. Constance Weitknecht said she is in favor of joining because NSA has given Penn State valuable in formation. Illegally Parked Cars To Be Tagged by Police Borough police will continue to tag all cars parked in the 500 block of S. Frazier street, accord ing to Chief John R. Juba. His reminder that the 500 block is posted for no parking was an nounced after the police again is sued a series of parking tickets. ’JP3 if V V 2 By AL KLIMCKE Scheduling officer since 1935, when, he said, he began schedul ing classes for around 3000 stu dents, Watkins-described the in tricate process by which the Uni versity’s schedule of classes is made up and its timetable pre pared. The wheels begin turning for a new semester’s schedule, he said, when a set of “course offering re quest” cards are sent to the head of each department. The cards request such informa tion as, number of hours of lec ture, recitation and practicum which will be required by each course, number of sections which will have to be scheduled, length of periods desired and, number and type of rooms desired. Numbers Requested Also requested is the number of students in each curriculum who will be required to take the course along with their semester standing, and the approximate number of students which the de partment head expects to elect the course. A card is filled out for each course which is to appear in the timetable, and these are returned to the scheduling office. "This is my bible,” Watkins said holding up a copy of the University catalogue. "I have to make every course available just as it is listed in the catalogue." Watkins termed the catalogue "a contract between the Univer sity and the student.” He said each student must be able to schedule his courses as they are listed there. Therefore, no two courses listed for the same cur riculum and semester can conflict in their hours. "Further Complications" Further complicating' matters, Watkins said, are 258 courses with multiple sections. These are courses in which all the sections do not meet at the-same time. These, too, must be kept from conflicting. Watkins listed as another com plication the fact that ROTC sec tions must be made available for such a large percentage of the student body. He said it becomes increasingly difficult to keep many sections of a single course from conflicting with themselves, as well as with other courses which a student is required to take. “The number of classrooms available has not increased in pro portion with the increase in en rollment,” Watkins said. This makes sections larger and sched uling more intricate, he said. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Pizza Delivered; Truck Disappears In Nittany Area The driver of a pizza delivery truck was working at his job a few minutes after midnight on Sunday. He parked in the vicinity of Nittany Dorm 42, raced inside to make a delivery and then raced out. But there wasn’t a truck in sight. Yesterday State College Bor ough police, campus patrol and State Police were alerted for the truck belonging to the Home De livery Pizza, 129 S. Pugh street. “I’m offering a $25 reward,” said Frank DeFluri, senior in business administration from Boalsburg and owner of the Home Delivery, “for knowledge that leads to the return of the truck.” He is now operating with only two of his four truck. Another is out of commission.
