It em phasizes proper body move ment and self defense, accor ding to Wayne Vincent, teacher of the class The class will run 7 to 9 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays. Students must pay a $25 fee In participate. Another non-credit course of fered in the fall is physics and mysticism. The class has newer been offered before The class attempts to show how mysticism relates to physics, ac cording to Ami! Goswami. physics professor. "The way we conceive of quantum objects suggests a transcendental realm." he said. "We conceive of an electron as a wave and a particle." (Goswami explained when an electron is viewed on an elec tron microscope, it is conceived as a particle — an objec t that oc cupies definite space However, when not viewed on the ^^^OHfrll^^ecreationrCenter <£ / hope J these books ) > gel lo who lost / ffiem , ^ % -- Fall Hours Mon.-Thurs. 9 am to 11 pm Friday 9 am to 12:30 am Sat.-Sun.

LOCATED GROUND FLOOR IN THE EMU microscope, it is conceived as a wave — an obiect that occupies infinite space The fact that physics involves the study of invisible, abstract objects, such as electrons gives it its mystical quality, according to Goswami. The class will be held Mon day afternoons 3:30 to 5 p.m. The class is free and the format will be a dialog-discussion, with Goswami speaking one day. and a local mystic. )oel Norwood, speaking the foilw ing class period. “This is just an unique oppor tunity for the University com munity to have a forum, whereby such diverse fields (physics and mysticism) can be disucussed where people of authority are speaking." Goswami said. Other classes offered in the fall include baseball and American history, performance poetry. Tai Chi, Kung Fu. and developing your creative potential. Assistant director Christine Potts said the classes are ' 'ahead of their time." She cited a 20-year-old Innovative Educa tion course guide that had fun damentals of financial accoun ting. and business law as part of its curriculum. Both classes now are part of the regular curriculum. To register for non-credit c lasses, students must go to the Innovative Education office at Room M 110 EMU within the first week of fall term Students register for credit courses dur ing regular registration in McArthur Court at the cospon soring department table. To teach a class, interested students or community members must complete a course proposal form, write a syllabus, obtain a faculty spon sor and two character references A faculty sponsor is not necessary for prospective teachers of non-credit classes. Course proposal forms and help with writing syllabi can be obtained in the Innovative Education office. Deadline for submitting teacher application materials to the office is Oct. 9 for credit courses and Nov. 13 for non-credit courses. Vincent, who has taught his class for seven terms, said he has learned more through teaching a class than attending his regular classes. "It (teaching) is good prac tical experience in learning to teach and train (for Aikido)." he said. Irving said of teaching. "It gives students a sense of exper tise." Potts added. "People have an expertise that isn't reflected in their classes.” During summer term the In novative Education program ad ded a publicity department. The department will be divided into four sections, according to publicity director Lydia D’Ad dario. A graphic artist will design a term-by-term course catalogue, posters and advertisements. A copywriter will write copy for the course catalogue and other promotional brochures. A publicity coordinator will be in charge of news releases and public service announcements, and a recruitment coordinator will try to recruit more teachers, she said. The positions have yet to be filled. Interested students should contact the Innovative Education office during fall term, according to Irving. D'Addario believes not enough people know what classes are available, and that commmunity members as well as students can participate. She believes the new advertising department will help the pro gram grow as a whole by attrac ting more participants. "With appropriate promo tion. I think the program can really grow. From the Univer sity's point of view, there’s value to having another link to the community." she said.
