COURSE OUTLINE FOR ARMS CONTROL COURSE

Spring Quarter 1971

Note: We would propose that the number of lectures be reduced to two each week
(total 20) in this quarter and that the class members be divided into
sections after the first few meetings. Each faculty head of a section
would hold one or perhaps two additional meetings each week with his
section, The faculty head would also be responsible for guiding the
preparation of term papers for students in his section.
