X r e i -............1.......- 1 I Weston 1 Alternative: a simple word which means so much to the desk-ridden student. Sitting at the same assigned pigeonhole day after day, the average aspiring scholar tends to crystalize, and, with aspirations frozen, loses true perspective regarding the nature of education and the purpose of his meek submission to the learning factory. Education is a personal matter, not just another edict from the IBM machine somewhere upstairs. New Trier offers an option to those glazed third-row refugees who daily mill about the corridors, sustaining the breath of life through faith in that final, apocalyptic 3:30 bell: Alternative Education. Here a spinning soccer ball replaces the clock face as the center of undivided attention: creative energy is allowed to culminate as an oil painting rather than an assertion of boredom on a desk-topg a driving simulator brings new dimensions to the classroom experience besides four walls and a slightly cracked ceilingg and limbs and joints, frozen into rigid right angles for entire periods, are allowed to arise and sweep into the movements of modern dence. Above left: Although taking them for a ride, the Driver's education simulators accelerate learning and steer students in the right direction. Below: Forward Shaun Chapman has no margin for error as his opponent keeps him on the ball. fLincoln, Ostergaardl STUDENT LIFEf19

X 1 1 1 4 XXVIV4 Dad: In honor of your return from college, we are celebrating with a nice steak dinner tonight. Daughter: Dad, didn't I tell you? I decided to become a vegetarian. Dad: Great! I am paying S5000 a year for my daughter to eat bean sprouts and sauerkraut! Mom: But what about your protein? ' Daughter: Look Mom, there is twice as much protein in one spoonful of granola than in the meat they serve at school. And anyways, my health food prof told me that meat causes stomach cancer! Dad: My, they certainly have taught you a lot out east! As college courses delve into advanced topics, daily homework demands stack up against the student's leisure time. fFinej 20fSTUDENT LIFE 5 x , : , I .cmd ' x
