The Barnard Hall English department crowds a bare bulletin space with a contest for new 1965-66 courses. Winning entry parodies include Television Drama 1952-Present and a mock Pornographic Literature course. Also listed are interdepartmental seminars, late petitions, and a sample English major qualification exam.
A Columbia Spectator letter to the editor questions the meaning of the number 616 cited in an April 19 editorial. The writer suggests it might reference a dormitory or a cultural joke and asks for clarification, annexing requests for a pot of coffee to several campus recipients.
The article weighs two proposals from Barnard College: a four course system and abolition of general college requirements. It argues for a flexible five course framework, stressing the liberal arts philosophy, student choice, and faculty input while noting concerns about workload, enrollment, and preserving departments. It calls for experimentation and gradual change guided by students and professors.
