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 .”

Development or Liberation? The Future of the Third
World. PS 407. 3 credits, graded. W 7:00-10:00 p.m.. place
to be announced.
This course will examine the two major styles of
approaches to achieving the “good society” in the TTiird
World. 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
