Alumni Hall, Thames Hall and Natural Sciences with a number of smaller examinations to be held in other loca tions. He said about 300 proctors will be required to super vise the exams. He Said the examination timetable to handle so many different examinations is scheduled through a computer which has indicated that there will be 106 conflicts this year. The Examinations Officer said special arrangements have been made in University College for those students who find themselves scheduled with two examinations at the same time. He said students will write their conflic ting examinations under special supervision by the Registrar’s Office. But even though the computer can predict how many conflicts there are, it doesn’t identify the students and so it is up to individuals to report any conflict to the Examina tions Officer in Room 155, Stevenson-Lawson Building. “The strange part is that every year there are a number who never turn up to report a conflict,” Mr. Henry said. He said that it may be a case where a student has withdrawn, but has still been included in the computer data. He said anyone who has an exam conflict should notify him immediately so that special examination ar rangements can be made.
