Barron to Lead New Seminar In Study of "War and Peace"

A new freshman seminar, entitled "War and Peace," will be conducted once a week during the Spring Term by Francis X. Barron, visiting lecturer on Clinical Psychiatry.

Barron has described the subject of the seminar as "the psychological aspects of the problem of war and peace in a nuclear age, with special emphasis on problems of disarmament."

Once a month the weekly meetings of the seminar will be open to all students and will be led by a guest lecturer. Brian Stokey Jr., associate director of Advanced Standing, is now accepting applications from interested freshmen. The committee on Advanced Standing has yet to approve the seminar and decide on its credit or non-credit basis.

Topics for discussion, according to Barron, will include "the basic nature of aggression, neurotic fear and anxiety, moral urges and response, and nuclear weapons and the popular imagery of nuclear warfare."
