This attitude of attempting to cope actively with conflicts is what Fisher says he hopes to teach his students in Soc Sci 174, a course sporting a hefty 72-page reading list and syllabus. Most of those pages contain detailed explanations of what students are expected to learn about particular diplomatic and conflict-solving techniques, such as breaking conflicts into bite-sized pieces, and making it easier for the other guy to do what you want him to. Soc Sci 174 is supposed to help bridge the gap between the theory and practice of international conflict-solving by teaching students...
...those in Fine Arts 171 and anyone else who is attracted to "spots and dots" (as the 171'ers affectionately refer to modern art.) Graphics I at 168 Newbury has an exhibit of Josef Albers who is almost sure to pop up on the 171 syllabus soon. Albers is well known for his squares within squares and his subtle tonal differentiation from square to square. The show includes these works called "Homage to the Square", but it features more prominently his "Mitered Squares" done in the last two years of his life. Again using subtle coloring and precise geometric figures...
...Moynihan would try to tell him Eth-nic-ity, but that's not the answer.) This was Mel Brooks' first feature and it reaches heights Catskillian.

Like tumescent udders (ech!) Mel Brooks's toors hang, full of borscht and seltzer while the crazed milkmaids Mostel, Wilder, Dick Shawn and Kenneth Mars squeeze and squeeze and squeeze. So much of the American comic strain flows through this...
This one sounds like a funny course but really isn't, to the surprise of a couple of athletes who took off after a quick look at the syllabus. Course includes a systematic look at states like the blank mind, sleep, dreams, sleep-walking, sleep-talking, sleep-learning and hypnosis. There will be nothing on ESP and just a little on meditation. Assistant Professor John F. Kihlstrom does the honors...
...political science, are invoked and footnoted indiscriminately. Government professor Richard Neustadt's conjectures about presidential power, especially his discovery of the president's power to persuade, glut the book (the manuscript is dedicated to him). And in one oddly placed threepage section we get an introductory American government syllabus including statements on the growth of the imperial presidency, reduced prestige of the cabinet, decline of political parties, weakening of congressional leadership, and nosediving voter turnout. The jargon is stulifying; instead of simply writing that Johnson faced an uphill campaign battle in 1968, she states that "one of the constitutional checks...
