So, it's Friday already. If you haven't yet found the perfect fourth class, or realize that you're only taking classes from four pages in the course guide, here are 11 electives fit for the CUE and the most premed of schedules.

Pop Culture

Seen Pulp Fiction? Want to see it again? Af-Am 187y: "Black Cinema as Genre-From Blaxpoitation to Quentin Tarantino" includes movies like Boyz 'n the Hood, Girl 6, and Superfly. Students are expected to "read" the movies, analyzing them in an effort to explore gender, race and society. The class meets Wednesdays from 1 to 4 p.m. and experience in film theory is recommended, but not required.

Af-Am 10

The intro Af-Am course, taught by the illustrious Cornel R. West '72, has no tests and includes only two papers. On top of being taught by one of the most sought after professors on campus, the course is comprehensive and receives rave reviews from past students. An introduction to the department, it requires somewhat extensive reading, and meets Monday and Wednesday at 11.

The American President

For those tired of hearing about Monica and Bill, Government 1540: "The American President" offers a trip back to presidential gaffes and triumphs of the past.

"It is a course about the US political system from the vantage point of the president," IBM Professor of Business and Government Roger B. Porter said.

So, basically, everything Clinton never figured out. Actually, when Porter was asked about the Clinton scandals, he laughed and alluded to posible course material.

"The best way to put it is that we will study the presidency past and present," he said.

The class has a required midterm, a five-to seven-page review of a book of your choice, and the option of a final exam or 20 to 25 page paper.

Universal

Time to take on the world, at least conceptually. This fall, Professor of Astronomy Margaret J. Geller is teaching "Astronomy 14: The Universe and Everything," a class that will teach physics with astronomy in a relaxed atmosphere that has room for beginners.

"We routinely get some very bright and capable students who are interested in astronomy or astrophysics who haven't taken other science classes and who do very well and enjoy themselves," Head Teaching Fellow Ted Pyne '88 said.

The course, which meets Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 10 a.m., has a math requirement, but it's nothing beyond basic algebra and trig, and it doubles as a Science A core. There are problem sets, an oral report, two hourly exams and a final, perfect for those with an aversion to response and research papers.
