student politics: on the inside looking out Su

The final report was never delivered: the committee was dissolved as it delivered its interim report at a stormy senate meeting which saw acceptance of the interim report by the senate even though the three student members of the committee refused to endorse its conclusions. The overcrowding report limited its scope to an examination of the physical size of classes and concluded that in almost no courses were there not enough chairs for the number of people who had registered to sit in them. In situations where professors could not be heard or where blackboards could not be seen clearly, the report recommended the use of audio-visual aids. But the student members of the committee argued against this mechanistic approach, and complained that the report ignored student faculty ratios and the effectiveness of the lecture system itself. Meanwhile the students that lined up for hours for an English course found their desired course closed. Some students with double majors were forced to abandon one of their programmes because of timetable conflicts resulting from little or no choice of major course schedules. Discussion groups were faced with the problem of dozens of students in each group. Professors and departments tried to find more money to hire more assistants. However one fact remained, the overcrowded classroom became a way of life at Carleton in 1969-'70. 'f iw' '41 r-,,. 1' 7153 1 ,N 5. n ', --, UU' I , Q-alfzfrwfarem r .5 .2 .2 az E?
