The professional Harvardman will often pick the University's most esoteric-sounding courses, like Chinese 10, Semitic A, and Slavic 145, just to impress his friends and the people back home. His more realistic brethren usually seek a gut for a fourth course. But to most--those for whom the catalog's offering seems to grow vast as the time remaining in college becomes less and less--the choice of a fourth course is a decision worth a little time and effort.

Still, no one can audit three nine o'clock courses at once, in spite of rumors that this has been tried. For the harried and the perplexed, we therefore suggest the following courses on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

9 A.M.--Few want a 9 o'clock class the morning after a weekend, but those who dare have their pick of sparsely filled classrooms and some excellent courses to boot. Dr. Taubes, a visiting professor from Hebrew University in Jerusalem who seems to be giving almost every other course in the catalog this year, will lecture in Humanities 134, "Freedom and the Spirit of Heresy." While this hour could be profitably spent by those concerned with academic freedom or Father Feency, care should still be exercised in picking a course given by an unfamiliar professor.

Social Sciences 112 is given at 9, 10, 11 and 12, and should, therefore, fit into practically any schedule. A course in human relations, it can be excellent for those who want to know why roommates and women act that way, but who do not have the time or the energy to enter a more specialized psychology, social anthropology, or social relations course.

10 A.M.--Edwin Honig, Briggs-Copeland Assistant Professor of English Composition, will give Comparative Literature 103, a course in Allegory. With an impressive and interesting reading list from Spenser to Kafka, Comp. Lit. 103 should be interesting to the most scholarly student of language as well as to the wandering philosopher.

Former Provost of the University and Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences Paul H. Buck, professor of History, will return after a year of absence to teach History 165, the History of the South. Because of the intensity of present interest generated by the recent Supreme Court decision and the South's industrial renaissance, a course in the area's history--especially with Buck--would be worth almost anyone's time.

11 A.M.--There is much talk of the "Oriental Mind" in these days of tension in Korea, Indo China, India, Formosa, and the rest of the Far East. For those who want to know more about it, Social Sciences 111, the "History of Far Eastern Civilization," given by experts John K. Fairbank, professor of History, and Edwin O. Reischauer, professor of Far Eastern Languages, has a long list of satisfied customers.

With EDC on the rocks, rebuffs in Indo China, and growing tension between the U.S. and its allies, a course in America's foreign policy should be particularly timely. Winthrop House Senior Tutor Daniel S. Cheever--a fine lecturer--should therefore draw an unusually large crowd through the doors of Littauer Auditorium for his Government 190, "The Conduct and Control of Foreign Policy."

Gordon Allport, one of the most important men in his field, presents his own ideas and those of others in Social Relations 119, "Theories of Personality." The course is a good one for those who want to learn what makes the human tick without first studying the behavior of his four-footed friends.

12 A.M.--At noon, those Spartan enough to forego an early lunch may take Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.'s popular course in American intellectual history, History 169. With one of the most interesting and varied reading lists in the college, 169 will emphasize the intellectual background behind U.S. historical events, as well as dispelling high school misconceptions about American history.

Albert J. Guerard's Comparative Literature 166, concerned with the forms of the modern novel, has drawn more than a normal share of plaudits in the past. This will be the last chance for present Juniors to take it, since the course will not be given next year.

Fine Arts 13, also at noon, is a course that should be audited by those who can not take it. With almost no reading, but many hours of watching slides and the criticism of art forms from early civilization to the present, the course is one of the best of the basic courses for a liberal education.

Many of the finest men in the University both give and take the various seminars given in most departments. Although primarily of interest to graduate students, many undergraduates both auditing and enrolled, find these the most intellectually stimulating experiences of their college educations.
