University Runs Smoothly With Double Capacity Load
By MAURICE LUNGREN
The administration has practically solved the problem of cramming twice as many students into the University as it was ever intended to hold. Not only has it done this, but a University Daily Kansan survey shows that it has cut down the average size of classes, and also the number of classes held at inconvenient hours.
To accomplish this, the administration has had various annexes built on the campus. These have added 17 lecture rooms. The Western Civilization office and the Veterans administration, both new elements in the overcrowded situation, have been housed by building an annex.
Despite an increase in enrollment from 8,237 in the spring semester of 1947 to 8,848 this semester, the size of individual classes has been cut appreciably. For example, the average size of English I classes has been reduced from 25 to 20. The size of College algebra classes has dropped from 28 to 25.
Size Of Classes Cut
There are now 42 students in the average Physics 5 lecture section as against 79 a year ago. The three sections of the Principles of Government course averaged 157 students in the 1947 spring semester. Today, there are eight sections with an average of 32 in each.
Junior and senior subjects as a rule have never been overcrowded, the survey showed.
Classes at mounent hours such as noon, 5 p. m., and at night have been reduced to a minimum. Thirty-three classes met in Frank Strong
hall at the noon hour and 11 were scheduled for 5 p. m. two semester ago. Now these figures have been reduced to 19 and 2 respectively. The 11 classes which met at noon in Marvin hall have been reduced to four this semester.
Most night classes have been cut out.
Conditions today are a far cry from those described in a news story in the Sept. 27, 1946, edition of the University Daily Kansas.
Classes Filled In 1946
The story gloomily reported. "Some persons whose names began with A or Y found they could not get into a class at all, and others found themselves in such slightly-used courses as Greek and Roman Mythology and Swedish I."
The article also suggested a daytime nap and predicted a curtailed social life for students under the strenuous system. Today, the only interference with the student's social life is the length of assignments.
But students have not forgotten about a day-time nap, though they tend to forget it was supposed to be taken at home, not in the class room.
Tickets to "The Trojan Women," a Greek tragedy by Euribids, are available in 8 Green hall by exchanging the fourth play coupon in the activity book.
