Draft not working in ucthesis package.

Question

The following should single space my document:

\documentclass[11pt,draft]{ucthesis}

and the following should double space it:

\documentclass[11pt, final]{ucthesis}

when in fact they both result in a double spaced document. Does anyone know how to fix this? (I am running auctex - emacs - livetex - ubuntu.)

Answer 1

\baselineskip = .7\baselineskip

Answer 2

At UC Berkeley (possibly UC-wide?), they changed the format for dissertations with the online submission system, from double to single spaced. There is a command in the ucthesis class to change to single spacing, just add it before the start of the dissertation text and after the Front Matter:

\ssp

\begin{dissertationText}
