ew courses, activities perk up summer Summer, 1987, appeared much like most .ummcrs at Northwesternealaid back and asy going. Many of the special classes and seminars hich are presented each summer were held as usual. Those include the childrenhs theater program, resource awareness pro- gram, elementary school physical educa- tion and communication media design. Also, many of the usual activities oc- curred as usualafreshman orientation, buildings and grounds maintenance and re- modeling, sports recruiting and the eight- man all-star football game. However, there were some new courses and activities to stir interest. The home eco- nomics department presented seminars on consumer education and family finance and problems and issues of nutrition. The biology department sponsored a two- day bird study and Milburn Barton and Bob Battisti cooperated on a basketball camp. Area elementary and secondary teachers and administrators had the opportunity to learn about computers and 15 persons en- rolled for conversational German. The formation of the Rangers Sports Network was announced, the campus com- puter system upgraded, the budget in- creased slightly by the board of regents and Candid Campus came to film a segment for that television show. All in all, it was a fairly lively summer after all.
