RE Classroom Allocations and Configurations

In some cases classrooms are not ideal for all types of instruction
assigned to them. Further, as a result of a number of courses being over-
subscribed, ! have been asked to increase classroom seating.

Below are maximum for the classrooms indicated. They should not, in
the interest of safety, if not comfort, be exceeded:

 

100 Building *300 Building 600 Building _ 700 Building
104(BTSD) 24 302 36 602 Lab 701 35
105 30 303 36 603 “Lab 702 35
106 30 304 36 604 36 704 35
107(BJRT) 30 308a) 40 605 Lab 766° °. 135
b)
d) BOs.

108 30. 319 36 =: 606 Lab 708 35
110 26 321 36 710 35

322 36 712 35

The recommended maximums have temporarily been set aside and classrooms
in 300 Building have been fitted out with in excess af 40 seats and in the
700 Building in excess of 36 seats. !

Problems exist in the 100 Building where all classrooms are small. All
classrooms except 108 are only 20 x 25 feet. Room 108 is 30 x’ 25 feet. None
can reasonably accommodate more than 30. 1! am receiving requests to accommodate
35 in these rooms. The problem in this building is complicated by the daytime
use of 104 and 107 by the small BTSD and BJRT classes coupled with an evening
class seating requirement of up to 35. While | have arranged one classroom
exchange, it is not possible to satisfy all requests for larger classrooms.

While custodians will attempt to meet varying class configuration and
seating requirements within the capability of existing furniture stocks,
exceeding the recommended seating for any classroom must be viewed with some
concern. :

Hopefully,.attrition will reduce class size and lessen the difficulties
for all concerned before the semester is greatly advanced.

RUGBY TEAMS WIN, TIE AND LOSE

 

Gponts

The Douglas College Rugby Club played three league matches at
Queens Park last Saturday and came away with a win, a tie and a loss.

In the 3rd division game in the morning, Douglas went down 18-3
to B.C.1.T. The latter club dominated play completely in the first
half to take a commanding 18-0 lead. The second half saw a tremendous
improvement in the Douglas team as they in turn camped in their opponents
half. Although Douglas only scored 3 points on a field goal by Gary
Cherwaty, their second half play was most encouraging for this bascially
inexperienced team, Particularly outstanding for Douglas were Ray
Harris, Dave Longman, Gordon Ridgewell and Gary Cherwaty. 7
