SEARCH offers alternatives
What do the Food-Op, the
tool library, the women's studies
department and — to some ex
tent — the EMU Craft Center
have in common? They all start
ed as SEARCH classes
Since the nontraditional pro
gram began in the winter term of
1967, 50,000 students have tak
en SEARCH workshops and
courses and more than 100,000
credits have been awarded,
says Kevin Kouns, the pro
gram's administrative coordina
tor
"SEARCH is a supplement
and a complement to the exist
ing system,” he says. "As far as
I know, we are the only one in
the country that generates
credit for student-taught
courses "
SEARCH offers Uni
versity-approved credit
courses and free, non-credit
workshops that would not oth
erwise be taught, Kouns says
The courses and workshops
are distinct from the usual
University offerings because
students, faculty, and commun
ity members can teach or take a
SEARCH class, Kouns says
SEARCH also serves as a
compliment because "if
students or faculty have an idea,
they can try it out here and let it
spin out," Kouns says.
"With the budget cuts,
SEARCH becomes more neces
sary Departments have less
money for experimentation,
fewer GTF positions and less
flexibility They can work out
their ideas here," he says
For example, a 1970 SEARCH
course titled ‘‘Can Man
Survive?” initiated the Survival
Center, Kouns says. "I guess
the Survival Center is kind of our
grandchild, but it's more than
twice our size.”
The SEARCH program began
as part of the “free university”
movement "Rather than just
classroom learning, students
felt that learning should be more
responsive and more flexible
The program grew out of the
radicalism of the '60s," Kouns
says
The program bred antagon
ism toward the University and
the University became afraid of
the program, he says
"They thought the program
would be taken over by
radicals,” Kouns says. The
University, however, couldn’t do
anything to ease their fears ex
cept support the program and
keep some control over it, he
says
"That is why SEARCH took
the form that it did and became
part of the ASUO," Koun says.
Since 1967, SEARCH has of
fered numerous classes and
workshops Some of their class
offerings have been: Mountain
eering, Dutch, Hebrew, An
thrology, Emerging Law of
Students Rights and Economics
of Wine Industry
"The courses we offer usually
tend to be more narrowly
focused or are controversial,”
Kouns says
SEARCH got in some trouble
when it offered Aerodynamics
Kevin Kouns
of the Frisbee "How are you
teaching frisbee in a
University7" Kouns quotes
critics as asking at the time
All students are encouraged
to investigate enrolling in or and
teaching SEARCH courses,
Kous says To bolster interest in
the program, the organization is
running weekly advertisements
sending out letters and flyers,
and organizing an outreach list
of community organizations
whose personnel might want to
teach classes
"For the past couple of years
the attitude on the part of the
SEARCH management was that
the program can run itself Well,
it can't and we are trying to turn
things around,'' Kouns says
