CS department overloaded still searching for solutions
By BRET WALLACE Staff Reporter
Complaints by computer science students and faculty prompted expansion of one section of CS 210 this fall, but a permanent solution is still needed, the chairman of the computer science department said yesterday.
The chairman, Victor Wallace, said the expansion of the class capacity from 50 to 300, accomplished by moving the class to a lecture hall, would allow students to be freed to take the class after it was closed to take the class this semester.
Earl Schwepe, professor of computer science, who will teach the class, said that this would not hinder the learning of the students because it was a lecture class that did not require individual participation. This is not true of most other computer science classes that are having problems, he said.
"The administration has to be more anxious to find ways to solve the problem, maybe by allocating money from other departments."

These resources will have to come from the budget of the state, he said.
Robert Lemberg, dean of the
Liberal Arts and Sciences said,
he felt that a commitment of
quality faculty is in the mathematics
and computer science fields, but
resources must be available before
this can be done."
Wallace said the problems in the computer science department were a result of increasing enrollment. This year's undergraduate enrollment may have exceeded the expected enrollment by as much as 30 percent, he said.
Schwepe said part of the problem was that CS 210 was a prerequisite for other courses that students needed for majors and minors.
MANY STUDENTS in business and engineering are taking more computer science classes, and the number of computer science majors is increasing.
One solution that had been proposed and rejected was limiting the number of people who can major in computer science.
"Limiting enrollment would only slow things down unless you started throwing out students with B averages." Schweppe said.
Wallace said that if the department eliminated those students whose grade point average was less than 3.0, it would increase their percent, which would still not be enough.

"Instead of graduate classes with the normal 10 or 15 students, we now have classes with 40 to 50 students," he said.
The increases in enrollment so far have been handled by increasing the number of students.
THE DEPARTMENT was able to stretch and accommodate 10 percent more students this year, even though it increased reduction in its budget. Wallace said.
"But we could have handled even more with more money," he said. "I would guess we had to turn away another 15 percent because we could not afford to hurt the current classes by adding more students.

Ship sank in 1545 Henry VIII's flagship to be raised
Ship sank in 1545
By United Press International
LONDON—Mary Rose, the fleet flagship of King Henry III will be raised Sept. 28 from the sea bed following an excavation over years, it was announced yesterday.
"We will raise the Mary Rose," said Lord Romsey, stressing the word "will." But because "the world biggest diving operation" alarms him, he won't dive a million, some sketcics doubt the project will ever reach completion.
The Mary Rose was the fleet flagship of King Henry the VIII, who served as king from 1509 until his death in 1547.
suddenly turn and sink with amazing speed He heard the cries of her 700 drowning crewmen.
He watched Mary Rose sail from Portsmouth to battle the French on Sunday, July 19, 1545, then saw her
For nearly four centuries, the Mary Rose was a mere memory. Alexander McKee, an amateur marine archeologist, pinpointed her grave in 1967 and discovered that by a miracle of preservation 'she was a woman of no age in India, arguably the most important sunken ship ever found.'
"We now have recovered some 17,000 individual items from her," project archaeologist Margaret Rule wrote in a letter describing the biggest object of all—the hull itself.
Lord Romsey, host to Prince Charles and Princess Diana at the royal nunnery, a moneyman, of Charles became so much with project that he became its president.
Charles has dived into the wreck nine times.
Already in place over the wreck is a giant steel lifting frame 117 feet long and 49 feet wide, Col. Wendell Lewis, recovery director, said.
The hull-only the port side remains—has been stripped of Tudor artifactis and its decks and bulkheads. The port-side frame being strapped to the lifting frame.
Sept. 28, weather permitting, a huge floating derrick will lift the frame and hull together and inch them onto a mattress inside a steel cover. The water is piled with a "water bed" to hold and protect the delicate hull.
Later the whole assembly will be hoisted aboard a barge then towed to a dry dock.
