FRANCIS MILBURN, director of the diversified Leisure Learning curriculum, checks her route through Canada, a tour offered by the program. LEWIS TEMPLE, an art professor, reviews print- ing procedures for the Leisure Learning silk screen workshop. For the fun of it he Office of Leisure Learning offers a wide range of courses to the Lake Charles and McNeese community. Frances A. Summers Milburn, coordinator of Community Services, explains the purpose of such a program. Leisure Learning, according to Milburn, began in the fall of 1975 and was first offered through the SGA and the Office of Student Services. According to Milburn, there are two advantages to Leisure Learning. One is the convenience of the evening classes. The second advantage, according to Milburn, is the “acquisition of knowl- edge and skill one can gain in a non- threatening environment,” especially since the courses are non-credit. Leisure Learning also offers special attractions such as its annual trip to the Texas Renaissance Festival. A travel course is also offered; last year Leisure Learning crews journeyed to the Canadian Rockies where students experienced the beauty and splendor of Vancouver and Victoria. Prior to the tour, students learned about journeys and adventures of the Canadian West in the journey literature course, English 303. This course, and other courses in conjunction with the travel trips, may be taken for college credit or non-credit. : ‘ ’ aos y ‘ | — . Ww — ” = - —? 8 34 Leisure Learning )
