...television studio class will be taught with the same material and by the same method as Slavic A, Lunt said. Members of the television audience will be able to obtain texts and obtain credit for the course without attending the class in person, he stated...
...prevent a withering of the non-honors program, the larger departments might try reversing their present method of waiting for tutorial to be requested before offering it. As was suggested by the CEP provisions last spring, the Houses and Departments should see that at least one member of each department will organize non-honors tutorial in each House. A definite House-oriented tutorial program should be established; those uninterested would not have to attend. If departments claim they do not have enough tutors to offer non-honors instruction, then they should add personnel...
...concentrated, then, on the three short novels and five longer ones which are most congenial to his critical methods: "The Secret Sharer," "The Shadow Line," "Heart of Darkness," The Nigger of the Narcissus, Lord Jim, Nostromo, The Secret Agent and Under Western Eyes.

Indeed, the chapters on Nigger and Lord...

For suit bids, Goren stuck pretty much to Culbertson's elaborate "honor trick" count, but for no-trump bidding he adopted Milton Work's method of evaluating a hand with a point count: four points for an ace, three for a king, two for a queen, one for a jack. Entranced by the point count's simplicity, Goren devoted numberless hours to expanding the idea into a general bidding method. "It took me about...
Beyond its tremendous advantage of simplicity, the Goren method was more reliable than Culbertson's. Ely's honor-trick count tended to undervalue kings, queens and jacks, overvalue the ace and the A-K combination. By bringing high-card valuation more into line with play-of-the-cards realities, Goren saved bridge players countless set contracts, especially at no trump. Another virtue of Goren's method was that it supplied a practical way of taking distribution into account: on suit bids (but not on no-trump) it adds one point for a doubleton, two for a singleton...
