UNDERGRADUATES CAN EXPECT "the great unveiling," as some Faculty members have aptly coined the announcement of the 1979-80 Core Curriculum, within the next few weeks. Dean Rosovsky's Standing Committee on the Core will soon finish approving courses for next year. But students can only guess what lies beneath the veil.

Mount Rushmore epically displays the main clutch of them - Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt. A few more might be added -Jackson, Wilson, F.D.R.
