A casual passer-by would have heard strains of discussion on every topic from Hippies to Sartre issuing from the English rooms. Within one would have found an English Seminar involved in a heated debate. The Seminars were another innovation this year, designed to stimulate independent study. After the students spent weeks becoming experts in their field, they would attempt to provoke each other into exploring their environment. Funds from a special government program enabled juniors to attend a Guthrie play. Harper’s Ferry, this fall. Seniors profited from the various convocations at the University, including an address by Pearl Buck. 8. 19

SOCIAL STUDIES Teachers experiment with new texts and two hour Social Studies — English teams. Though it’s generally accepted that one shouldn’t discuss religion or politics, social studies classes this year didn’t always adhere to the rule. The coming elections. prospective candidates and current events were often questioned, though the answers were elusive. New texts, magazines, newspapers, and. for the lazy students, radio news reports were the necessary resources. History students then attempted to relate the concepts of past events to those of present ones. The team classes were especially concerned with these basic ideas behind man’s actions. Forced to think fast and read much for these debates, it was hoped that students gained some knowledge and perhaps enjoyment from them. 4. 20
