Students initiate ‘relevant’ courses SEARCH is one of several ASUO-funded projects. More specifically, it is a program designed to let students initiate classes dealing with topic areas that are interesting and relevant to them. There were approximately 15 SEARCH classes available summer term. Bruce Micklus, SEARCH director, says he expects about 30 classes for fall term and between 65 and 70 classes winter and spring terms. The reason for the pick-up in classes during the winter and spring, Micklus explains, is that “the instructors don't have to be here part of the summer to get it set up.” To initiate a SEARCH class you must first fill out a form distributed by the SEARCH depart ment. Next, you must get a faculty member to sponsor the classand have a department head give the class his approval. Micklus said that beginning this year, two additional requirements must be met. The instructor must turn in an outline of the course and he must take a class in teaching. The reasons for these moves are because most SEARCH instructors are first time teachers, he explained. The SEARCH program has 3 objectives as stated in one of their brochures. 1) Provide a situation for student investigation of subject matter not yet available in the existing curriculum. 2) I To vide for investigation of new problems emerging in the world and this will amplify the standard curriculum. 3) Encourage student initiative in learning and a close interaction among all those involved in the learning situation The program has expanded from two classes to what it is today. Micklus claims it’s successful because “they’re the classes that are really relating to what's happening.” All SEARCH classes receive full University credit, and the program gets approximately $7,000 a year from ASUO, Micklus said. A steering committee is being organized to guide the program from here. All people interested should contact the SEARCH office. A SEARCH bulletin with a list of classes available fall term will be distributed at registration Deadline for winter class proposals is November 15. Micklus says he can’t remember a class proposal being turned down and that they art1 “ready to do anything .” Duck Football: For the Fan. Km 199. 1 credit. TLN TBA. pass-no pass only.

These styles may best be labeled “technologism" and “radical utopianism.” “Technologism” sees un derdevelopment as an economic problem where solutions are worked out at a very high level of technology namely that of the technological elite. "Radical utopianism" reverses this logic: it sees man as possessing many needs, not solely economic or material ones. Man is a creator of many worlds; to be human is to participate in the creation cf the world Optimal par ticipation is a main premise of this approach In structor: Demelrescu. ext. 4886. class limit 28.
