If your feel ache from
scurrying from a second period
French class in Moore Hall to a
third period English class in
the Poultry Science Building
then you may be suffering from
the classroom housing pinch
Ted Hammock, assistant to
the vice-president for instruc
tion. recently discussed the
causes of the malady and of the
problems in scheduling ade
quate classroom space on cam
pus.
The problem is critical at
certain periods of the day. es
pecially during periods two to
four and six to eight' He said
his office was able to meet tiie
instructors' demands for space
prior to fall quarter but fre
quently this year has not been
able to.
THE OFFTCE of Campus
Planning and Development is in
charge of sending out forms to
the various departments,
schools, and colleges of the
University Each quarter, they
ask for the number of class
rooms each program will re
quire the next quarter, so they
can schedule enough room to
accompany the demand
But many times the instruc
tors ask for more room than
they end up using, which resulls
in a lack of maximum utiliza
tion of the buildings.” accord
ing to Hammock Thus there is
a pinch on classroom space for
other courses
Part of the problem is due to
professors aversion to teach
ing either first period or after
late afternoon "If we required
the facutv to teach throughout
the day. there would be no prob-
I lcm.” said Hammock.
'THE SCHOOL of Journal
ism. the College of Education,
and the College of Business are
best utilizing the 13 periods by
requiring students to take
classes first period or the
eighth period and later." he
said But he added others are
not going very well in their
class distribution
Hammock added that in one
case — that of the Journalism
School — his office has had con

"The average weekly use of

Teachers have a choice of three
