South House had more than its share of troubles since the River Houses started going co-ed in 1972. What was once an attraction to a number of Harvard men has now become that dreaded read-out on the housing form freshmen receive in late April.

Administrators expect that when fully implemented the Core will contain about 80 to 100 courses, slightly less than in Gen Ed. Dean Rosovsky has said that he expects to offer incentives to Faculty members who develop Core courses.
