BER 13. 1959 SUNDAY. SEPTEj iling Office Sets s, Final Exams Schedi Classe The schedulii the herculean t ing every class i ination on cam ig otfice holds ask of scheddl tnd final exam ous. The scheduling office receives a list of courses f :om each depart ment in the different colleges. This list includ is every course that that partic ilar department will offer for th» next semester. After receiving these - lists, the scheduling office must estimate the number of s udents who will enroll in the course as a require ment and the nu Tiber of students who will choose the course as an elective. Additional sections must be added if more students enroll in the course than were estimated or, if an overestimate has been made, sections must be dropped. Whether sections must be drop ped or added, it is the job of the scheduling office to bal ance fhe sections for those stu dents who are required to take the courses. John E. Miller, scheduling offi cer, said that three things must be taken into consideration when scheduling courses: the curricu lum of the student, the schedule of the instructor who is to teach the course and the amount of room needed to hold the classes. Some classes require special rooms such as laboratories and rooms with special equipment, Miller said'. Miller said that the major problem of the scheduling office is that of finding sufficient room to accommodate the number of v, -w-' ' ” v \ - s £ . k i. i: I £ if your mouth is watering for a thick, juicy steak, |’ | the best place to go is THE BOALSBURG STEAK HOUSE. j And if spaghetti is what you crave, why not try some k. of our delicious Italian spaghetti?

He explained that for every curriculum and every semes ter a pattern schedule is set up and the times open for elec tives are designated. This pat tern or phase is done for every college except Liberal Arts, Home Economics and Education because students in these three colleges are allowed more elec tives. In the timetable issued this fall, the final examination sched ule is printed in addition to the listing of courses. This is the first time that the examination sched ule has been released prior to the beginning of the semester. Miller said that this is an ex periment being tried by the sched uling office to help eliminate confusion of conflicts. If a stu dent sees that two electives he wishes to take this semester have the final examination set for the same time, he can change his courses and thus eliminate a con flict, Miller said. He said that other years the examination schedule was worked out later on a set en rollment after registration, but now it is worked out before registration on an estimated en rollment. Miller said that future plans include laying the groundwork for doing the scheduling process by a digit computer. The use of an electronic brain may solve sched uling difficulties more easily, he said. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE.
