Planning for the schedule has taken somewhat longer than normal since a module concept is being used for the first time. This module plan involves scheduling courses with consistent time patterns. If classes begin and end at uniform times throughout all departments on campus, scheduling classes should be easier with fewer con- flicts. Because the module. concept is new and many people are affected, much time has been spent gather- ing input. In addition to Deans Al Reed and Dorothy Buchan, al department chairpersons are in- volved in preparing the schedule. This project has been in progress for months. Presently mock student schedules are being fed into the computer so that time conflicts can be detected. This module concept is also directly related to long range scheduling. According to Mike Hood, Title 11! Director, a schedule for next spring should also be com- pleted soon. One result of this long range planning will be a pro- gram which will allow a student to earn a degree by taking classes only at night. mer four year ball player for Hope College, willbe head coach for the men’s basketball team.
