Korean, Conant, More G.E. Head Fall Slate of Courses

Prospective Gls who wish to be prepared can take a full course in Korean history this year. Korean 111, given by Dr. Doo Soo Suh, visiting lecturer in Far Eastern languages, is one of three offered in this new and timely field. The others, two Korean language courses, will probably appeal less since they require a previous advanced knowledge of Chinese or Japanese.

Korean is one of the many novelties in this year's course of instruction roster. Those who found themselves incomprehensible to natives on their trip to France this summer may take a course in Pronunciation of French with Associate Professor Mareei A. Francon and return to the Continent next summer with a redoubtable accent. Or, if the thrill of taking a course with President Conant is worth the fatigue of a nine o'clock class, all they need is a smattering of philosophy and science and a little luck to be one of the fifty students in Philosophy 150. In it, President Conant will teach the dynamic conception of science as expounded in his recent book, Science and Common Sense.

Four new General Education courses will join the steadily expanding G.E. roster. Two are for Freshmen and Sophomores only: Associate Professor Henry D. Aiken's Humanities 5, "ideas of Man and the World in Western Thought" whose Great Books lean more toward philosophy than those of the other Humanities courses; and a course in biology with no scientific prerequisities. Natural Science 6.

Upperclassmen will be offered Humanities 120. "Counter Currents in the Nineteenth Century," which emphasizes crities of their age like Dosteovsky and Nietzsche. And Professor Harlow Shapely will conduct a survey of Cosmography for which, he says, "the only prerequisite is persistent curiosity."

The Government Department's answer to the musbrooming of the Pontagon is a course in "Government and Defense," which probes the Department of Defense and civilian-military relations. It will be taught by Dr. Samuel P. Huntington.

Finally, Prof. G. Wallace (Woody) Woodworth will conduct the Music Department's periodic trip around the Boethoven cycle, with brief stopovers at the concertors, songs and instiumental pieces.
