Executive Committee of the Science Fiction Research Association.
He is the author of a number of books, one of which has served as

Psychology, English
classes lead Top 1 0
If you are in Psychology 170, you need not fear being alone.
Psychology 170, which had 1,353 students enrolled last
semester, is the largest class at UNL.
The top-10 classes, by enrollment are: Psychology 170, 1,353;
Biology 101, 1,270; Sociology 153, 1,191; Chemistry 109, 1,006;
English 100, 946; Math 100, 933; Accounting 103, 919; English
103, 913'; Math 106, 787; and Political Science 100, 672.
General courses
However, Ted Pfeifer, director of registration and records, said
those classes are not necessarily the most popular.
The top-10, all 100-level courses, have the most enrollees
because their credits apply to most programs and are prerequisites
to many other courses, he said.
Psychology 170 attracts many students because of high interest
in psychology and because the individual can schedule his own
class time, according to Donald Jensen, professor of psychology.
The course is presented in seven two-week units. The first week
includes presentations of educational films and discussion on the
material, Jensen said. The second week is for testing.
No 'do or die'
The student may retake the exams until he understands the
material, Jensen said. Because students can repeat exams, they do
not have the "do or die stiuation" where their grade rests on one
exam, he &aiu.
As the largest course in the university, Jensen said, Psychology
170 does have its problems. He added that the course is hard, but
fair.
Math 100, a pre-caleulus course, is taught in 47 sections.
According to Robert Halfar, chairman of the Mathematics
Department, many persons taking the class have not had much
mathematics experience.
"Many are somewhat frightened by mathematics," he said. The
sections are limited to about 30 persons so each individual can have
the teacher's personal attention, Halfar said.
Two English courses are among the top-10. English 100, a
six-hour course, is a genre survey, said Thomas Bestul, vice
chairman of the English Department. It covers poetry, drama and
prose, he said.
Both English courses emphasize composition and writing, Bestul
said.
