The Crimson today obtained a list of the Core Curriculum courses approved for the next two academic years which Dean Rosovsky will present to the Faculty at its May 15 meeting.

Dean Rosovsky declined to comment today on the course list.

More than 60 per cent of the 77 courses are new.

Students in the Class of '83 must take two of these half-year Core courses and two half-year General Education courses, where previous classes have had to take four half-year General Education courses.

The University will phase in the Core over the next three years.

The Science category, one of the five areas of the Core, will include four courses in physics and one each in biology, astronomy and biochemistry.

Otto T. Solbrig, chairman of the Science subcommittee, said yesterday the Science Core listings will emphasize physics partly because the Physics Department presented the most acceptable courses and partly because physics "is central to an understanding of science."

The science area next year will offer no courses in geology or chemistry, because no Faculty member in those departments proposed Core courses.

Economics 10, "Principles of Economics," the course with the largest enrollment this year, will become a Core course next year. But the course will remain unchanged, Otto Eckstein, Warburg Professor of Economics and Faculty head of Economics 10, said today.

The Core next year will include one Afro-American Studies course in the Literature and Arts area on twentieth century black literature. This course is the only offering under Literature and the Arts which will concentrate exclusively on twentieth century literature.

Ewart Guinier '33, professor of Afro-American Studies, said today that some of the department members had informally discussed proposing a course for the Core, but he was uncertain whether they ever submitted any courses to the Standing Committee on the Core.

Literature and the Arts will offer 21 courses, the largest among the five areas, because the Core requires three half-courses in that area. The Science category, with eight courses, has the smallest offering.

Social Analysis and Moral Reasonings also has a limited number of courses, partly because the category is especially designed for the Core and can draw from few established departmental and General Education courses.

The Historical Studies area will include several historiography courses. Two other courses will examine the Darwinian and scientific revolutions.

The Core list did not include a course on women's studies.

A list of full course descriptions explaining how the courses fulfill Core requirements will be released after Tuesday's Faculty meeting.
