Students Register for Winter Quarter;
Statistics Course Added To Curriculum
Rochester Junior College registration for the
winter quarter began  on Monday,  November 20.
Although the registration dates extend over a
two week period, there will be only 8 actual days
for registration. Students who register early usually
have a better selection of courses, according to
Gerald Paul, Director of Admissions. The fee for
late registration is 3 dollars. December 11 is the
only day allotted for new students and those students on probation to register. The procedure for
registration is different than for the fall quarter.
Each student should already have received a sheet
which states the directions for registration.
Two new courses will begin in the winter
quarter. Microbiology will be taught by Mr. Mac-
kinen, RJC instructor, and will be offered only to
the Methodist-Kahler nurses.
The other new course will be an Introduction
to Statistical Methods. This is an introductory course
in the concepts of statistical measurement. The
topics include measures of central tendency, measures of variability, normal distribution, linear correlation and regression, theory of probability and
significance levels. The course includes some practical applications in collecting and analyzing raw
data. This is a one quarter, 5 credit course and
will be taught by Dr. Raniele, RJC Instructor.
There will also be one section of English II
offered in the winter quarter. This will be a repeat
of the fall quarter for those who didn't get started
the first quarter..
■There are two two quarter courses which start
in the winter quarter and continue through the
spring quarter. The first is Advanced Composition,
and students taking this must have completed Freshman English. The second is Sociology which has
no prerequisite. College Algebra will be offered
only in the winter quarter but students taking it
must have had higher algebra.
The following 9 courses are three-quarter
courses but may be started during any quarter:
Physical Science, General Biology, Introduction to
Literature, Survey of American Literature, Music
Appreciation, Band, Choir, U. S. History, and
European History. The following are one-quarter
courses that will be offered durng the winter
quarter: Marriage and the Family, Personal Health,
Community Hygiene, Human Geography, Introduction to Theatre Arts, First Aid, Art Appreciation,
Business Machines, and Your Occupation.
At the  present time there  is a total  of  857
students enrolled at RJC.   According to Mr.  Paul,
there will be about 25 new students enrolling for
the winter quarter.
