January 21, 1982/Page 13 U Cosmos" Course Western Carolina University will offer a new course spring semester based on the highly successful PBS series "Cosmos." The course. Arts and Sciences Interdisciplinary 293 — Introduction to Cosmology, will present the entire television series along with the correlated book "Cosmos" by Pulitzer Prize winner Dr. Carl Sagan as a framework for the course. In addition, members of nine departments within the School of Arts and Sciences will contribute to the discussion of many facets of biology, geology, chemistry, history and literature alluded to by Sagan. Filmed in almost a hundred locations in a dozen nations on Earth and in many locales beyond, "Cosmos" provides a truly cosmic perspective in a spectacular journey of discovery. Topics WCU professors will present in the course are Richard Bruce - our biological past; Steve Yurkovick - planetary condition, past and present, NASA explorations and star structure; Marilyn Jody and Nancy Joyner - literature and science; Joseph Bassett - thought processes; scientific and otherwise; Michael Jones - science and philosophy, critique of Sagan's philosophy; William McGowan - relativity; Roger Lumb - the nature of life, biological basis for inheritance and intelligence; Tyler Blethen - social and political consequences of the heliocentric theory in the 16th and 17th centuries. Also, Frank Prochaska - electromagnetic spectrum, greenhouse effect, chemistry of Mars and astronomical evolution applied to chemistry; Karl Nicholas - science fiction; Ann Rogers - physiological and technological evolution of hominids, cultural shock of potential extraterrestrial civilizations; Richard Berne - planetary environmental problems and choices; and Elizabeth James - coordination and astronomical background. The course will meet Tuesdays from 12:30 to 1:20 p.m. in Room 333 on the ground floor of Stillwell Building. The two-hour schedule permits time for viewing the 60-minute tapes each week with an immediate discussion period to follow. Additional lecture, demonstration and discussion will follow at the second meeting each week. The course will be graded and offers 3 hours of credit. For additional information, telephone Elizabeth James at 227-7476 at Western Carolina University.
