Severe space limitations for enrollment in the Natural Sciences may prevent many sophomores from completing their General Education requirement this year unless they arrive early at the General Sectioning meeting Tuesday, Philip Rheinlander, secretary to the Committee on General Education, warned yesterday.
Two Factors
He attributes the enrollment quotas to two factors: 1) The Allston Burr Lecture Hall, which is expected to house all General Education science courses, will not be completed until next year. 2) Freshmen for the first time this year will have to take the entire General Education program of three courses, thus swelling the number of G.E. students.
Freshmen Get Preference
Rheinlander points out the following maximum enrollments: Natural Sciences I, 80 students; Nat. Sci. II, 80; Nat. Sci. III, 350; Nat. Sci. IV, 150; Nat. Sci. V, 150. In Nat. Sci. I, for example, Rheinlander says that there are 60 sophomores who applied for the course last spring, but if freshmen take up the spaces first, then they get preference.
The only way either a freshman or sophomore can be assured admission. Rheinlander concludes, is to register early on Tuesday.
