All unsolicited material becomes the property of the SCHOLASTIC. The Course Evaluation (with this, the sixth edition) has always been a source oL pride for the SCHOLASTIC. With the addition of some electives from the Colleges of Science and Business, the -booklet becomes even more noteworthy. However, we must voice this pride with reservations. - prologue The limitations of student .evaluations are obvious. We cannot honestly claim to be definitive, sources of knowledge in matters of'our ediication. We can only, offer opinions and im pressions as a service to the community. Student reactions to their courses serve as. an-index, to the degree of academic freedom Notre Dame has achieved. We live in an academic community that encourages, zind .responds to open discussion and intelligent • criticism. --This .booklet represents such dis- . cussion and criticism.; .Our goal is. not to defend or, to attack any. particular method \bf'education; ..Course, evaluation only attempts to relieve some of the, frustration, and chaos of pre- registration by providing, the students with cogent aid, and also •to give faculty members'a fsense. of-perspective. ' We must,..however,.rec6gmze'our'limitations. Last-minute financial,arrangements,.;heavy;.work'loads, press deadlines, and lack of cooperatioh;from"students-in;several departments have again caused the. course evaluation to ^ be something less than complete. We • regret ;this ^fact-and .-apologize = to those depart-, mentS' that-'have'=receiyed*superficialttreatment/ the same time, however,.'this issue is".the,mostlambitious ever,attempted .by the .SCHOLASTIC.; -WCirhope :it~_is[zn, aid.to the students in.

The haste required to produce a magazine of this size in a lamentably short. period of .time results in organizational deficiencies.
