Priority rules instituted by Arts College The College of Arts and Sciences has granted admission priority, for about 5 percent of its courses, to students enrolled in the college and others for whom those courses are required, Dean Geoffrey V. Ch- ester has explained in a letter distributed this week in student registration packages. The move responds to the sustained demand for Arts and Sciences courses by undergraduates enrolled in other Cornell colleges, Chester said. It is intended to mini- mize the impact of that demand on enrolled Arts and Sciences students, he explained. Waiting lists will be kept for the courses for nonpriority students and — when necessary — for priority students closed out of the courses, he said. As of Monday, there were 40 specific courses for which the college had set up waiting lists and two more — Introduction to Art History (Art History 260) and May- hem, Myth and Modernism (English 458) — that were listed as closed. The college offers a total of about 900 courses, according to Lynne Abel, associate Jill Peltzman Continued on page 4 Benjamin Lee, left, and Jeff Welnfeld direct freshman and transfer students registering for Arts College courses Tuesday.

Four corporations join Theory Center Research Institute Philip Morris USA, GenCorp Inc., NiCHE Data Systems and Topologix Inc. have joined the Theory Center's Corporate Research Institute (CRI) to use the center's supercomputer and other research facilities and to collaborate on research projects. The latest additions bring to eleven the total corporate membership in the institute, which is the center's principal corporate outreach effort. Philip Morris, a Richmond-based com- pany and the largest operating unit of Philip Morris Companies Inc. has joined the CRI to use the center's supercomputer in basic research in molecular biology. GenCorp, based in Akron, Ohio, is a major corporation whose subsidiaries include Aerojet General, GenCorp Automotive, GenCorp Polymer Products and RKO Gen- eral. GenCorp researchers plan to use the Cornell National Supercomputing Facility, as well as to collaborate with faculty on . projects in advanced computer graphics, structural and system dynamics and simu- i laion of injection molding processes.

This small British-made computer-on-a- chip can be combined in large numbers in parallel systems, and Cornell researchers recently announced an advanced operating system, called Trollius, for computers based on the device. Topologix, of Denver, also specializes in hardware and operating software development for parallel processing systems. Both companies have contributed hardware to a Trollius demonstration project in the Theory Center's Advanced Computing Facility and will aid the center's technical staff with training and consulting support. The Theory Center currently hosts over 400 research projects involving 1600 scientists and engineers.
