To the Heads and Chairmen of Departments:

Ye are sending you the usual blanks for the spring semester's
schedule, Please remember the following in making your
schedules:

1. 40 percent of all classes open to undergraduates must
be scheduled in afternoon classes or in classes requiring
a Saturday morning session,

2, 10 percent of all classes open to undergraduates must be
scheduled for 3:30 or in classes requiring a Saturday
morning session,

Although only recently started, it is quite evident that we have
made good progress in establishing late afternoon and Saturday
morning classes, A trip around the hill at these times reveals
many more students on the campus than formerly, This spread of
classes is also relieving the acuteness of the classroom problem,
allowing adjustments in office space, and making it possible for
students with outside morning jobs to make much better afternoon
class schedules,

It is realized that a number of departments will say that their
room situation is satisfactory and that these late afternoon
classes or Saturday morning classes are therefore unnecessary
for them, It is our feeling that in matters like this we must
take an all-University point of view, If, therefore, it seems
desirable for the whole University to go in this direction, it
must have the cooperation of every department, ‘Ye hope you will
ask for exceptions to this requirement only because of very
unusual reasons,

Very truly yours,

CMe
