Saturday classes may one day be
a thing of the past at Carolina.
Last February the Faculty
Advisory Committee recom
mended to the Academic Advisory
Council that a five-day week be
adopted for most classes and
departments at the University.
Their recommendation was for
50-minute class sessions on

preventable
Student body vice president
Mike Spears visited six univer
sities and two Congressional
hearings during a fact-finding tour
in search of solutions to student
problems.
The purpose of the tour was to
determine whether student
disorders can be averted by having
a strong student government
which can secure the needs of the
students in a pre-established and
orderly manner.
"It seems that at different
universities, the administration
has tried to control riots, either by
siding with the students, or by
controlling them," said Spears.
The premise of this trip was that
the best way to control students
was through students. Students
have demands that need to be met,
but who deserves to decide
whether those demands are
rational except other students?"
Spears asked.
Student governments at unrest
riddled schools have not been
active enough in the opinion of
minority groups, he charged.
When government becomes weak
and breaks down, then the students

The committee recognized that
"certain schools and departments
may wish to schedule on Saturdays
as their needs may dictate
seminars, field trips, laboratories,
classes for special groups of
students, etc."

petitions and grievances," he
added.
Spears noted that most minority
groups seek legal action and then,
if ignored, resort to . disorder.
"Only after a request is ignored
long enough does it become a
demand and a non-negotiable
demand. And I don't see how we
can endure ' non-negotiable
problems.
Administration will either have
to listen or pay the price.
"This university would be much
more liber. 1, much more open, and
much more constitutionally
aligned if it weren't for the
religious hangups that this state
has," he opined.
Applying his observations to
USC, Spears said that a gradual
exchange of power from the ad
ministration to the student
government was necessary. "If
there is one student organization
that can speak for the students
with authority, then this
organization will be listened to,
since the student government is
elected by and run by the
students."

Action may be coming-!
A prime worry about dropping
most Saturday classes in the past
has been anxiety about the reac
tion the state legislature would
have at appropriations time.
Carolina has been rated the most
efficient in building usage by
several studies of state colleges
and universities in the last few
years. Most state offices are not
used on Saturdays.
Another reason for dropping the
bulk of Saturday classes is that
professors and students alike avoid
them. Thus registration for
Tuesday - Thursday - Saturday
classes is low and there is a strain
on Monday-Wednesday-Friday
classes.
One high-level administrator
joshed, "I don't work on Saturday
now. How can I make you." The
closing of the administration
building on Saturday may have
some psychological affect.
Since students and professors
avoid Saturday morning classes,
the proposal would force greater
classroom utilization Tuesday and
Administrative
reshuffling cited
The University, with 1,239 full
time and 98 part-time non
academic employees, has an
nounced a reorganization of
personnel services under the
direction of Robert B. Horning Jr.
Harold Brunton, vice president
for business affairs, said Horning
will join the University June 16 as
director of personnel services.
The department of office and
professional employees headed by
Miss Anna Durham, will be
combined with that of the physical
plant employees.
The new central personnel
operation will work with the state
classification system, coordinate
all fringe benefit activities and
deal with regulations of the
Federal Minimum Wage and Hour
Law, which sets pay scales at the
University.
Horning attended Virginia
Polytechnic Institute and received
a degree in mechanical
engineering from Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute, Troy, N.Y.
He also attended Wharton ,School
of Finance. The new director was
previously manager of the
Columbia office of Graybar
Electric Co., Inc.

Defunct organizations will be
wiped from the roster of campus
groups as a result of new
registration and facility
reservation regulations issued by
Carolina administrative officials.
Paul Fidler, assistant vice
president for student affairs, said
in a release to campus
organizational presidents that the
new rules will allow effective
identification of groups as well as
efficient use of such things as the
much-in-demand Russell House
conference rooms.

Carolina is not alone in its
problems with Saturday classes.
Discontent with the six-day week
seems to be a national malady, and
universities are coming up with
various solutions.
Unfortunately, every solution
comes complete with its own
problems.
For example, Emory University
now opeates on a four-day week.
There are no Saturday classes, and
Wednesdays have been set aside
for study and faculty meetings.
Since the introduction of
"Wonderful Wednesday," as the
system is called, studies have
shown that the library is busiest on
Wednesday the number of
students on the Dean's list has
increased by three per cent and the
number of students on probation
has decreased one per cent.
Another proposed schedule
distributes three hours of work per
course over a 5 day week. This type
of scheduling would allow a course
to meet three times a week at
different hours. The proposal can
lead to confusion and scedule
conflicts.
Still a third solution is the "split
week play" which calls for class
sessions meeting on three con
secutive days. This type of
scheduling does not lend itself
easily to the abolition of Saturday
classes.

Tuesday and Wednesday, overlaps

Sex, in the enlightened com

Tuesday night the residents of

Rather than the usual after

of the individual rooms, the

Forms for registration may be

Concerning reservations of on

that "During the past year, there

Only officers of groups, or their
appointed representatives, may
reserve facilities under the new
system.

A more practical adaptation of
this plan would have the second
unit meet on Thursday, Friday and
Saturday in order to avoid
scheduling conflicts but there are
Saturday classes again. Although
this plan is in operation at several
institutions, its future is doubtful.
The fourth schedule defeats
itself. It calls for the standard 50
minute classes on Monday,
Wednesday and Friday. On
Tuesdays and Thursdays,
however, it requires one 50 minute
session and a 100 minute session.
There are students who prefer
even Saturday classes to a two
hour session with their professor.
Also, a two hour session is taxing
on any student's concentration
span.
In 1962 Florida State University
conducted a survey into the use of
Saturday classes. Of the 76
universities responding to the
questionnaire, 57 used Saturday
classes. The use of Saturday
classes among these institutions
varied from 80 per cent to 1 per
cent of their classes.
Generalizing, the study showed
that Saturday classes were used
predominantly by major state and
land grant institutions in mid
western and southern states which
operate on the semester calender.
The survey revealed no
significant trends in the use of
Saturday classes. Although a
number of colleges and univer
sities were considering the
abolishment of Saturday classes,
an equal number commented that
they were going to start using
them.
