New Schedule Will Retain Conflict In Bio 1, Physics 1 Lecture Hour

The conflict in hours for Physics I and Biology I will probably remain next year, despite the complaints of pre-medical students and faculty members.

Subject to the expected approval of the Committee on Educational Policy, both courses will be given again next year on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday at 9. The courses, part of the requirements for admission to medical schools, were often taken concurrently before Physics I changed its meeting time last Fall.

Frank M. Carpenter '26, Chairman of the Biology Department, called the situation "impossible." He charged that "physics is to blame" for the conflict, since Biology I has been given at the same hour for seven or eight years.

Jabez C. Street, Chairman of the Physics Department, claimed the 9 o'clock hour was the only one possible. Demonstrations given in the course require the lecture hall to be free both before and after the time of Physics I, he explained, and Burr B, a hall large enough for the course, has a busy schedule.

Kennedy Defends Schedule

"If the CEP doesn't approve of this, they would have to suggest somewhere else to go," he said. "Maybe some other courses could be switched around."

Earlier this year, Sargent Kennedy, Registrar, sent a memorandum to the department heads asking them to try to avoid conflicts in important related courses. However, he remarked yesterday, "In the four year college program, the student certainly has a chance to get into both of these courses."
