For instance. You should know about the op-

Care. As an officer in the service of your
choice you’ll work in modern facilities. With
up-to-date equipment. And modern, up-to-

For example. You should know that
Armed Forces Health Care offers opportuni-

practically every specialty. Not to mention
the opportunity to practice it.
You should know, too, that we make it
possible for you to pursue a post-residency
fellowship at either military or civilian insti-
tutions.
And if all this strikes a spark, then you
should certainly know about our scholarship
program.
If you qualify, the tuition for your medi-
cal education will be covered fully while you
participate in the program. And during that
time you'll receive a good monthly stipend.

Advisory
Council
established
A student advisory
council to the Board of
Trustees has been formed to
help the Board understand
the University’s grass-roots
attitudes better, and to
establish a broader concept
of University problems and
their implications. The
theory is to increase input
to the Board, rather than
having it operate solely on
the perceptions of the
Administration.
Members of the
committee are John Murray
(President of the Student' long
Senate), Ricardo Espinosa institutional research, and
(first vice-president of the specialized
Senate), Joe Frampus services.

will give students a chance
to work as consultants to
small businesses and will
provide summer teaching
jobs for future teachers.
Long range planning and
institutional developments
entail futuristic aspects of
the program. The area that
will have the greatest impact
on students is individualized
instruction.
Under individualized
instruction, courses will
vary in degrees from the
traditional courses now
offered. Courses will be
proposed and set up by the
faculty. A learning resource
center will be well-equipped
with features such as video
tapes and modules.
The approach taken by
Al. D.P. permits the teacher
to design the course to
enhance his or her
capabilities. If the teacher is
an effective lecturer, the
course will consist of
lectures. If the teacher is
good with small groups the
course will be designed that
way. Students will be able
to choose from a variety of
formats.

“The program is to the
student’s benefit,” Dr.
Lowrie says. “If the
program is individualized
and self-paced, the student
will not- be held back.
Students can also test out of
various modules within a
course.” Presently students
must take the entire course
if they don’t test out.
Dr. Lowrie related that
courses will offer many
alternatives in the form of
modules and activities. This
means students will not go
straight through a course.
Each element or topic of
the course can be
approached from a different
perspective. For example, in
an English class one student
could act in a Shakespearian
play while another might go
see it.
“The morale of the
faculty is up,” says Dr.
Lowrie. “Many of them
have been sitting on
beautiful ideas, but they
haven’t had the money to
give them release time (time
off from teaching with pay)
to develop the
individualized courses
they’ve wanted to.”

An added feature to the
festival was the performance
of an Oxford debate team
who debated the Southwest

team. The debate resolution
was: “The Vice-Presidency

of whom competed in

Students will also be
able to contract for grades.
A required level of work
will have to be performed
for each grade. The time of
course completion will be at
the student’s perogative.
Flexibility will be
demanded of the university
for a successful transition.
Open registration is essential
for a smooth operation.
Registration will vary upon
completion of a course, and
this can occur at any time
during the semester.
Twelve courses will be
implemented by the fall of
197 5. Teachers are
attending workshops and
observing programs at other
colleges to collect ideas and
models for their
individualized courses.
Some drawbacks of the
program are that the courses
will not be created or
designed by the students.
This would impose
limitations upon a student
who would like to take a
course not offered. Students
will not be able to define
course objectives. The
drawbacks can be overcome,
but it will depend on, the
teacher. As the program is
set up, students will have to
take what is offered.
