During this time they could meet with their friends. Whether in the cafeteria, in the commons or outside on the commons lawn, students could be found taking ad- vantage of the freedom they had.

It was the second of its kind for Mitchell. Classes were dismissed for the three days of programs, and the schedule ranged from a lecture on ecology in the local area by Dr. Richard Biedleman, professor at Colorado College, to a program of classical music by Mr. Charles Atwood, a Mitchell English teacher. Three main phases of life in Colorado Springs were dealt with. The first part, labeled Faces and Spaces, discussed the problem of overpopulation and what to do about the increasing scarcity of space. The second sector involved the problem of what to do if society becomes one big computer. Programmed Man pointed out that computers would soon take over man's identity if he is not careful. Finally, the problem of occupying oneself in a computerized world was brought out in the third and last day dealing with leisure time. This year field trips were added to the other pro- grams. Places included were the Rehabilitation Center, Village 7, and the District Court. The regular programs and the field trips all came together to make an informa- tive week. mphasis Week Focuses on Where We Go from Here IE? ffl! Ra Mr. Charles Atwood perfo rms on the piano .
