Show Incomplete Schedules Are Result Of Over Demand, Says Reeder W- : Vr.. Ti . .. ''"" """"St V ' Onitlax..-. ,vi j Y 1 1 f i 1 i " : J inability to fill in their IBM cards correctly, said Reeder. Students use of free time blocks, he said, frequently blocked them from one or more of their class or laboratory requests. Another problem for the computer com-puter resulted in 12,000 wrong addresses, said Reeder. A wrong tape was sent to the computer center which resulted in every student's schedule containing the wrong address. Maximum advanced registration registra-tion (MAR) enrolled 10,900 students stu-dents in all classes requested, but Clarence A. Reeder, Jr., Registrar, said "we are not satisfied sat-isfied with what we accomplished" accom-plished" because 1,100 students did not receive a full schedule. Reeder listed over-demand for some classes and students' inability in-ability to use free time blocks correctly as the biggest headaches head-aches for computer registration. Even so, he said "we win hands down in the 'satisfied customer' department" because 98 per cent of the participating students received re-ceived their requested courses.

The problem was solved by eliminating elim-inating some Speech 1 sections and adding some English sections sec-tions and by moving 300 students into Speech I sections. But, he added, this made, contacting all effected students by telephone in order to okeh the changes. Educational Psychology 21 and 42 and Physics 5 were the most heavily demanded. Because only one instructor teaches Ed. Psychology 21, no new sections could be added, leaving 206 students stu-dents out of the class. Of those requesting Ed. Psychology 42, 46 failed to be enrolled. Reeder said 195 seats, or one section, was added to Physics 5 but 200 students still could not be. placed. Computer Statistics Computer figures showed, according ac-cording to Reeder, 73,453 seats requested for University classes out of an available 95,395 total and the computer correctly filled 69,928 of those requests. Franklin L. McKean, director of admissions, said he expects 500 new and readmissions and about 1,300 undergraduates, who did not participate in MAR, to register regis-ter late.
