Experimental College – 5

The Dartmouth Experimental College added a fifth term to its success story this spring, and it is marked with the same imagination and verve which have characterized the student-organized courses to date.

Among the 27 courses offered are exanimations of some aspect of five nations: Brazil, China, Japan, Mexico, and South Africa. The musical field covers a wide spectrum of titles: "Rock Appreciation," "The Recorder," "Beatles," "Wagner," "The Choral Workshop," and "Mostly Quartets."

International relations seem well-covered, too, with a sampling including "An Introduction to War-Gaming," "Games and Simulations," "Radicalism in Contemporary Society," and "The United Nations."

A workshop in "Differential Poetry" leads off in the field of literature which also includes "Jewish Power: Martin Buber and Bernard Malamud," "Finnegan's Wake," and "The Comic Novel of the 1960'5."

The "Group Dynamics Workshop," an effort to help individuals gain insight into group interactions, which was initiated last term, is offered again this spring, as are courses in French, Spanish and Japanese. There is also a course in "Computer Programming," modeled after instruction given to trainees of computer manufacturers, as distinct from the Dartmouth computer training.
