's no a pic'dsan siuaion, and cerainly sn' conducive o he ~li ype or eaming. The origin o he problem lies n he very naure oc he highqualiy echnical educaion which Worceser Tech ries o provide '!'he number o he J"'('(llllred courses, he cver-wld<'oing SCOJX' :md range o elecllvc's, and lhe ncreasing demands o! modern echnology au combine o require an cver-lnci"(yysing load- nnd consequenly- a greaer quaniy o classes per week. This s ru(' o engineering and clencc sudens hroughou he counry, as o recen rurvey by he Deon's oice n dica~. n reply o n qurslonmire sen ou by Dean Prlcc earlier his school year, 88% o 107 colle~11 ndicaed ha Saurday c lones wen' par or heir scheduling. 69'1 o he schools had ull scheduling on Saurdays; ~'1 used Saurday only or Frcshmnn and Sophomore courses; and 14'7, scheduled pecial c lasses and labs on Saurdays. Moreover, o he 12% who did no yc have classes on Saurday, 3 ~"e lndlcned 1.hn hey would be a neoc~ly n 1lhe ncar uure. This lcnves only 9% w ho d o no have, and do no anicipae hav ng, Saurday morning clones. Bu hese arc o nly ligures - wha arc l>hc acual acs behind SChedullng? Why was Saurday niiaed, and why s d.ill go ng on? Par o he answer o h '11e quesions lies n a sudy conduced n 1960 by Dean Price. Aler he second world war, Saurday classes were, n :he main, eliminaed rom he school. Bu n 1951, wih he coming o he ROTC program, became neceasary o acheduled drills and all M.S. cluses on Saurday momlngs. Gradually, as he ROTC program became more Oexlble - cour.es beln& 8Cbeduled hroughou he week and no jus on Saurday~e oal arrangemen o classes became varied, labs and phys. ed classes eropplng up on Saurdays or F reshman and Sophomores. From ~9. he scheduling remained 90mewha conlused. Bu n 19~9--wlh he adven o! he honors program and a much wider range o elecives- becnm<' npparen ha a major change was ncces.~ry n order 'o p roviclc he ncreased lexibiliy demanded by he new pracices. The resuling repor mode lhc ollowing suggesions: 1) A block sys.cm o r schedullnn should be adoped n which 3 reciaions per w~k would be held a he s:~me ime on elh>r Monday, Wednesday, and Friday; or Tuesday, Thur~day, and Saurday was el ha his would help normalize he scheduling and JJPread ou he work load more evenly Moreover, would provide he necessary rpcdom o handle he new elecives. 2) A common ree hour ( now :00 o n Thursday) should be adoped. 3) Duplicaion o scheduling o classes should be reduced o a minimum. When he proram was pu ino eec, n 1960, produced <he d'sir<'d 'C'SU!S. "n ac,'' Dcnn Price noed, "many sudens acually came up o ay how much hey appreciaed i." he program s successul. however, why s here so much criicism? Why did he aculy ml'c re<:enly o dlcuss alernaives? 'l'alklng wllh Mr. Ohrl.opher o! he mah deparmen (h-e depormen wih he greaes number a Saurday das~e), he poined ou ha moe o he aculy, like he sudens, did no like Saurday scheduling.
