Abstract
- A technique of random choice is illustrated by application to the problem of assigning students to a fixed schedule of courses. Using the technique it is possible to reduce or eliminate difficulties that result when a popular section is filled and closed before oil students requesting and requiring it have been scheduled. The effectiveness of automatic scheduling is retained without loss of the students' privilege of picking favorite instructors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
