May 5, 1965 THE SKYSCRAPER Page Three Complete Preregistration Plans (Continued from Page 1) The other required course is Philosophy I, Approaches to Man, fo cusing on the unfolding of man's nature in history and contemporary interpretations of human nature. Incoming juniors may also elect courses in education, journalism, political science and library science. Incoming sophomores will study i ;:iii::;:i;iiiii:::ij:iu:i;ui;i uimMiuuinu iiau iiut auaiwninuiuiuii iiiui iiiiiiiiiii iiiiiMii .iiiiiii i;iiii:iiii,ii,i Major British Writers I and II, which have been restructured for the 3-3-3 plan. A second required course is the Theology of the Lit urgy, another course redesigned to adapt to the term system. A third requirement is the Science of Human Behavior (which will replace the general psychology course next year and which will be an elective thereafter.) The final require ment is completion of a lan guage course through the in termediate level, and/or na tural science. Required courses for incoming freshmen include Math I and II. The foi-mer is structured to fos ter an appreciation of the certi tude and limitations of mathemat ics and the latter to give insight into the relationship between a mathematical structure and the phenomenon it describes. Another requirement is Com munications I which is designed to develop skills in writing and speech. Humanities I, a third requirement, encompasses infor mation considered by the English department necessary in subse quent college work, emphasizing literary analysis. Humanities III and IV (of which freshmen choose one) focuses on a serious study of either art or music to awaken or deepen aesthetic tastes. An other required course, Social Science I, is designed to pro mote understanding of basic tools of social science and their use as well as comprehension of concrete social problems. Freshmen who have passed the foreign language exams at the in termediate level may enroll for a one-term course in literature or culture taught in the language. Courses in a student's projected major may be elected to fill out the ten courses. An area of concentration al ready structured for 1965-66 ia the social science concentra tion, an organically organized program integrating political science, sociology, economics and psychology. One area chosen by a student will be studied in depth with other courses chosen in a 3-4 pattern in two of the three remaining areas. This concentration will also include a social science colloquium at its conclusion. The idea influencing the con struction of this concentration is that man's decision-making re quires that he look on problems from a view of all the social sci ences. Other areas of concentration are currently being structured. The honors program will re tain its current form of one specially designed course per year in the humanities, science, philosophy or theology for a small group of students ad mitted by invitation. Incoming sophomores will be in vited into a seminar on The Sci ence of Human Behavior during the winter term. Incoming juniors will study Approaches to Man also during the winter term. Incom ing seniors will participate in Sen ior Honors Theology course taught by the Reverend John McKenzie, S.J. No special course for fresh men will be offered in 1965 but a small group of superior students will be identified and invited into an honors program as sophomores. During the coming year the en tire honors program will be studied with a view to possible adoption of a tutorial system. The physical education re quirement, beginning in the fall, 1965, will include three courses: physical fitness and two electives. All students must pass a swimming profi ciency test and those unable to do so must elect swimming as a required course. The new course requirement is not retroactive and will affect in coming freshmen and future students only. When in full scale operation the 3-3-3 theology sequence will in clude three required courses and courses which may be elected. The sequence was developed in recogni tion of the need of every Christian college student to examine criti cally the ultimate questions with which theology deals God, His Revelation of Himself in history, Christ and the destiny of man and the world. The first required course, The- No More Tm Late, I'm Late' Feeling With... Time Slot' Schedule The chart at the right may seem ordinary at first glance, but it is the uncluttered ap pearance that is a basic factor in the success of the new 3-3-3 system. Developed by physi cist Sister Mary Therese, B.V.M., the calendar of time slots allows instructors to di vide the allotted 200 minutes per week for his course into any segments he wishes. This is possible because students will enroll in only three or four courses. For example, a student who registers for Advanced Chess I at 12:30 will not register for any other 12:30 course. Thus a 90-minute segment (12:30- 2) five days per week is avail able to the instructor. He may then assign five 40-minute ses sions; or four 50-minute ses sions; or two 90-minute tour- 8:30 M T W T F 10:00 11:30 IZ:30 Advanced Chess -* gt; - gt; - gt; gt; 2 00 3:00 naments plus a 20-minute quiz; or three 60-minute strategy sessions and a 20- minute discussion, and so on . These 90-minute time slots provide time cushions for longer class discussions, con tinuation of a discussion over coffee before a next class, longer library research periods and greater class creativity and flexibility. Complete Computer Registration Preregistration for 1965-66 term courses is scheduled for May 25. The entire registration process will now be done by computer. Nego tiations were carried out by Sister Mary Artemas, B.V.M., registrar. Under the new system, registration will be reduced to six simple steps. Students preregister for courses in all three terms. Students preregister by marking their preferences on a list con taining only course titles and instructors. (No juggling of day and hour.) Data is fed into a computer. The dean composes a schedule indicating times and class sections. This master schedule and student's preregistration preferences are fed into tthe computer which will schedule the student into her preferred courses. Schedules are forwarded to students in the fall.

During her tenure, Mary Etta also reported progressive stages of the Institutional Analysis. ology I, Scripture and Sacrament, involves a depth approach to Scripture, studying the specific problem of how God reveals Him self in His word and action in Scripture and through Christ. This will be offered to sophomores in 1966-67. The second course, Theology II, Development of Christian Thought examines the mean ing of Revelation and develops insight into various traditions, and historical reality of the Church as it adapts to vari ous situations. This will be offered to juniors in 1965-66. The third required course, The ology III, Problems in Theology, will be a study of Christian dogma and includes examination of the thought of past and contemporary theologians, Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox. Electives will include Con temporary Issues in Theology, 01 d Testament Prophets, Pauline Epistles and Johannine Literature. The 1965-66 schedule will in clude Theology of the Liturgy, (a redesigned course), for sopho mores; Development of Christian Thought, for juniors; and Chris tian Life (another current course which has been redesigned) for seniors in the term system. Electives available in 1965-66 will be Christian Marriage, Old Testament Prophets, Pauline Epis tles and Joannine Literature. Another innovation of the term system is a new philosophy se quence of three required courses and several electives. Philosophy I, Approaches to Man, will be a required junior course. It is located in junior year on the assumption that speculative philosophy must follow experience in other fields of liberal arts to be fruitful. Philosophy II, Approathes to God, will be a required senior course designed to explore the re lation between reason and faith in understanding man's relationship to God. The third requirement, Great Issues (to be introduced in 1966-67) will be interdepartmental and carry credit in philosophy and/or theology as well as in an other discipline. The course is designed to challenge students to use theory in coping with a burn ing contemporary issue. Each is sue will be selected in spring by faculty decision for the following fall to insure real relevance. In.1965-66 incoming juniors will study Approaches to Man. Incom ing seniors will study Approaches to God. Those who have already taken natural theology, God and the Philosophers or Perspectives on God may elect logic, ancient philosophy or ethics. Sophomores who have no required course may elect Introduction to Philosophical Problems.
