This is the README.UCSC file for the UCTHESIS-UCSC class for LaTeX. It
corresponds to version 3.2-ucsc-2 of the UCTHESIS-UCSC class (04
May 2006). These instructions supercede README.
The original UCTHESIS class corresponds to version 3.2 of the UCTHESIS
class (19 December 2004). This README.UCSC is public domain.
The version of these files are intended to be used with the University
of California, Santa Cruz Division of Graduate Studies "Dissertation
and Thesis Preparation Guidelines" revised 7/2005. It intends to merge
back changes from the two lines of development on the "ucthesis.cls"
and "ucscthesis.cls" files.
Although the UCTHESIS class is intended to be used at all University
of California campuses, the guidelines vary from campus to campus. A
cursory survey of the guidelines at Berkeley, Los Angeles, San Diego,
and Santa Cruz campuses show mildly differing guidelines. The main
differences come from the location of the page numbers which vary
centered and outside in the header and footer area, slight variations
in margin sizes, and the layout in the front matter. The UCTHESIS-UCSC
class was created in order to provide a class file that was suitable
for the guidelines mentioned above.
*** How to use this package
1. unpack the ucscthesis-ucsc.tar.gz file
2. cd into the ucscthesis-ucsc directory
3. type "make" (or gmake) to generate a sample PDF file
4a. modify uctest.tex in this directory
OR
4b. copy uct1*.clo and ucthesis.cls to the directory with your .tex files
*** Changes from 3.2-ucsc-2 and 3.2-ucsc-1 (04 May 2006)
- Reverted copyright notice to read
"Copyright (c) 2005
by
Author Name", as required by UCSC Grad Division. I presume
this would also conform to US Copyright "Form of Notice".
- Added (GNU) Makefile to easily generate a test PDF
- updated history.dot and history.pdf
*** Changes from 3.2-ucsc-1 and 3.2-ucsc (02 March 2005)
- added new declarations
\deanlineone{Dean John Doe}
\deanlinetwo{Vice Provost and Dean of Graduate Studies}
\deanlinethree{}
- modified \tableofcontents from "Contents" to "Table of Contents"
- included history.dot and history.pdf files
dot/graphviz file (.dot) and graphic output (.pdf) of the
lineage of these files
*** Changes to UCSCTHESIS-UCSC from earlier versions and the UCTHESIS
classes
The changes from ucscthesis.cls (3.0) to ucthesis.cls (ucthesis-ucsc
3.2) include the following:
- merge from the branch ucscthesis.cls (3.0) and main ucthesis.cls
(3.2)
- Filenames adhere to the UCTHESIS package, not UCSCTHESIS and are
available at 10, 11, and 12 points:
uct10.clo
uct11.clo
uct12.clo
ucthesis.cls
- The test file is updated to use the ucthesis.cls file with minor
changes that are necessary for UCSC.
- Use the spelling "Acknowledgments" instead of "Acknowledg[e]ments".
- maintain the following margins:
top: 1.25"
left: 1.50"
bottom: 1.25"
right: 1.25"
- page numbers are centered, at the bottom, INSIDE of the 1.25" margin
- \baselinestretch{1.37} (ucthesis 3.2) instead of
\baselinestretch{2} (ucscsthesis 3.0) for "double-spaced text". The
stretch of 2
- Months (December, March, June, and September) are used for the
quarter a degree is conferred on the title page instead of semesters.
(Berkeley has been on semesters since 1983.)
- A single title page is also used to list committee members and their
signatures.
- The Dean of Graduate Studies is hard coded in the uct1*.clo files.
- The optional copyright notice is a single line, using the
"(c) 2005 Author Name"
as prescribed by the US Copyright Office Circular 3, "Form of
Notice", not the previous notice used by both ucscthesis.cls (3.0)
and ucthesis (3.0-3.2).
- Optional dedication section.
- Abstract pages do not show page numbers. Abstract page number is
updated correctly even though it is not shown.
- Two-sided printing uses centered page numbers in the footers.
*** Tweaking
- Font Size
The document format is customized for three different typeface
pointsizes: 10 point, 11 point, and 12 point. The size can be
specified as an option like this:
\documentclass[11pt]{ucthesis}
The "uct11.clo" file is used in this case.
Chapter headings font sizes must be modified in the uct1*.clo files.
- Line spacing
"Double spacing" is specified in the UCSC Dissertation and Thesis
Preparation Guidelines. With some typefaces, for instance Times, the
interline spacing (\baselinestretch = \baselineskip x scaling) may be
too large due to font metrics indicating a very large leading. In this
case, redefine \dsp to be a factor between 1.37 and 2.0 like this:
\def\dsp{\def\baselinestretch{1.8}\large\normalsize}
\dsp
\usepackage{times}
...
With 11 point Times, a reasonable number of double-spaced
lines on a page is 23 or 24. The "1.8" factor will yield this.
- Page format
Differences in uct11.clo:
ucthesis-ucsc ucthesis
------------------ ------------------
\voffset 1.000 in (default) 1.000 in
\topmargin 0.250 in 0 in
\headheight 0 in (default) 12 pt
\headsep 0 in (default) 25 pt
\textheight 8.125 in 32\baselineskip + \topskip
\footskip 0.375 in 30 pt
\textwidth 5.750 in 6.000 in
These can be tweaked slightly. For instance, increasing \footskip to
0.5in and reducing \textheight to 8.0in will set off the page number
from the last line of text on a page a little bit more.
- Printing
When using PostScript or PDF output devices, do not crop oversized
pages. The margins should measure exactly as described above. If the
page is shifted, then \voffset can be tweaked slightly. If the text is
too large, then the printer driver should be adjusted to scale
slightly. I have not found that any adjustments were necessary.
- Packages
I have tested the following packages with this .cls file. Sometimes
the order of usepackage matters. The following order worked for me.
ifthen
pdftex (option to ucthesis)
dvips (option to ucthesis)
times
mathptmx
graphicx
url
color
hyperref
algorithm

*** Tracking Changes
As of May 2006, no configuration management system was used to
store or track these changes. I don't know if one exists and the
version I received was passed down from PhD candidate to PhD
candidate. Future maintainers who would like to keep this current are
encouraged to take the following approach:
- Get the latest version of ucthesis from CTAN.
- Using these three versions,
ancestor = ucthesis (3.2)
branch = ucthesis (>3.2)
branch = ucthesis-ucsc (3.2-ucsc[-*], this version),
produce a new version of ucthesis-ucsc (>3.2)
The original ucthesis source should have been provided with this
package. By doing so, this ucthesis-ucsc should be compatible with the
LLPL as described in http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt.
