Race, Foreign Studies Year in Costa Rica By KIT LEDER Ships approaching a horizon may tall over the worlds edge: once we believed these words; now we are taught that they are not true, and, ignoring the diilerence between wisdom and knowledge, not too many of us take on on an ocean voyage to verity that the earth is round. Our apathy doesn't really en- danger the body or human knowledge, but its implications for personal growth are great. The point is that intellectual exploration does not have to uncover mental artilacts to be rewarding. since the process or looking iustilies itself. Applied to education, this idea invali- dates most oi what is happen- ing at orinnell. The iaculty and Leder in Costa Rica or perhaps into people.

The knowledge and understanding we gained in the process, rather than these results are important. We were asked to live in a world so strange to us that at first it was incomprehensible, We were forced to deal With people who could not under- stand what we were like. We felt professionally responsible to a specihc chosen field of en- deavor. These problems. attend- interview with to Costa Rican former. the students have placed a high or premium on the end than on the means to that end. Most peo- pie don’t realize that something better is going on and is avail- able to nearly everyone. The Associated Colleges oi the Midwest (a sports league?) sends students all over this world — to Airica, France, Costa Rica, and even Chicago. Anyone can look into spend- ing one or two semesters learn- ing, because it is important, not because it is necessary As a participant in the Cen- tral American Field Program, centered in San Jose, Costa Rica, i watched mysell and oth- er students change as people, ant on ii rig in a foreign cul- ture, seem similar to what any college graduate is faced with when he leaves his ivy-encrust- ed campus for the more various world outside, College is a challenge or sorts, but life outside or school was almost a threat — it required constant analysis, directed both inwardly and outwardly. Irrele< vaiit conjecture was stripped away. Not that it wasn't coit- fusing — it one is trying to de< termine the shape of the World, the way to solve the dilemma is not always clear, but at least the question is. The stay-at- homes seem still uncertain what to ask. LeMoyne Semester By JOHN GARDNER The LeMoyne semester is a program in which a certain number of Grinnell Students tra- vel to the predominantly Negro College in Memphis, Tennessee. for a semester, and a certain number or LeMoyne students spend a semester at Grinnell. Although funds were originally planned to be available for eight students trom both cam- puses to be exchanged, in the past three years the program has involved one to four Grin- neil students and tour students selected by LeMoyne's dean, Mr. Lionel Arnold. Slnce the merger on September 1 or the two Memphis colleges, LeMoyne and Owen, the Memphis institu- tion is named LeMoyne-Owen. - Mr, Charles Seller, who is the Assistant to the President and coordinator of the LeMoyne program on campus, inherited his job from Dean winters at the beginning oi this month, He has initiated an effort to bring together Mary Gleysteen. (‘69) Grant Crandall (‘69), Debbie Green ('70), (or the CBS board), and as many students as pOS< sibie who have spent a semester in LeMoyne. He will be talking with these students and the CBS executive board in What he hopes will be a “very criti- cal fashion," about what the program has been. He also wants to learn more about what the students liked and disliked in their semester, and What the black students would like to see trom it, betore talking to Dean Arnold. He says such pos< sibilitles as an increase in the exchange due to the merger or the two colleges are still open. LeMoyne college is attiiiated with the Church of Christ, and is a non-residential college, One dilterence LeMoyne-Owen students have previously tell on the Crime]! campus is that be- tween life at home and in the dormitory system. Grinnell stu- dents have also had the oppor- tunity to live in a ditterent ar- rangement and to share their experiences with others. The Newberry Library By CAROL C. BRADFORD The Newberry Library Sem- inar in the Humanities is an opportunity for scholarly and independent study in Chicago. The program is uttered t0 qual- itied juniors and seniors major ing in the Humanities ol‘ Social Sciences. The Seminar concen- trates on a particular century each year. This year participat< ing students will be studying the 19th Century The semester is typically di- vided into tWO periods. The first six weeks Consists of seminar sessions in English and History which the students prepare and lead themselves. The remaining two months are devoted to in- dependent and comprehensive research. Students may choose any area or study pertaining to the century under examination, Their final academic responsi- bility is the completion or a pa- per based upon their research. These papers are corrected and published by the Newoerry Li- brary every year. The program also otters a wide variety or guest lecturers, a series of con- carts, and many social iunctioiie with the taculty and staff. An important leatui-e or the program is the opportunity to live and study in a city environ< meni, The Library is located on the North side of Chicago and students live in apartments near by. Students are urged to ex- plore and take advantage oi the city as well as the Library Sit- uated in the “Rush St" or “nightclub" area, they are with- in walking distance of the Loop, Old Town, and beaches on Lake Michigan. Public transportation makes it easily accessible to the South Side where the University or Chicago and Hyde Park are located. The Newberry Seminar thus has many advantages to it. it otters the scholarly students the chance to research thoroughly a topic within their iields or spe- cial interests. it gives the silk dents who are uncertain about graduate school a realistic idea about the nature oi graduate work, And finally, it offers one the opportunity to live and study in a city environment in an inde- pendent capacity. Quaiiiied applicants are ex- pected to have a working back-- ground in history or literature, though they need not be major- ing in these iields and are not required to have special knowl- edge in the period under ex- amination. Participants are se- iccted on the basis of their ac- ademic standing, their capacity tor independent study and re- search, and their interest in and potential qualifications for graduate studies. Preference is given to students who are also pmiicient in one or more toreign languages. In the past, many students have been deterred (rrom apply- ing tor this program. They were Either misinformed or incorrect- ly assumed that they had to be English or l-listory majors to qualify. This is not the case. Students from other colleges are otten art. philosophy. music, or language majors who write their papers in one or these fields. Application forms will soon be available from Mr. Kinmer, who Mill icniy students t'ilra,:gn the mail. The 5&3 will also run an announcement at that time.
