The International Summer School at the University of Oslo is all prepared to welcome 300 students, teachers and professional people from 50 countries to its 33rd session beginning on June 23 and ending August 3, 1979. Undergrad and grad courses are offered in several different subjects and the language of instruction is English. The tuition is footed by the Norwegian educational system but room and board costs range from 1800 to $1,100. A catalog and ap- plication form is available from: North American Admissions Office, Oslo International Summer School, St. Olaf College, Northfield, Min- nesota 55057. Two years of college are required for admission. That does compute How'd you like to have R2D2 or C3PO instruct your class along with your regular TA? Over 5,000 students at two community colleges in Arizona and Virginia had a computer teach part of their classes. Educational Testing Service results said the computer had a positive effect on students, who were said to be attentive to their work, relaxed and enthusiastic, neither confused nor frustrated, and able to use the terminals easily. Students said the computer helped them to learn bet- ter than by course material presented in class lectures. Teachers - flesh and blood ones - still play the primary educational role, even in the experimental classes.

Dr. Jitsuo Morikawa takes over as minister of the First Baptist Church today, he will become the first non-white minister of a predominantly white Protestant church in Ann Arbor. However, Morikawa apparently isn't the first. Rev. Tom Robinson, who is black, was the pastor for 41/2 years at the predominantly white, pluralistic Glacier Way Methodist Church. Rev. Robinson left Ann Arbor recently to fill the Global, Urban Affairs, and Missions directorship of the New York Methodist Church.

Organizational Mtg.

Bowles is the author of Schooling in Capitalist America and an active member of the Union for Radical Political Economics. "THE DEMISE OF the progressive educational movement is no short term phenomenon. The liberal movement in education has met the structural lititations of an advanced capitalist economy," Bowles said. Bowles' lecture, titled "Animal House or Animal Farm: The Future of American Education" was part of the Peoples Action Coalition's "American Dream Freeze" series of lectures on education. CONTRARY TO THE title of the lec- ture, which Bowles explained he did not create, Bowles talked mostly about the present state of education in America. "It is too difficult to talk about the daydreams of the future. We can't predict the future; we may be able to effect it," he said. Bowles characterized several stages of capitalism and their relation to education. "Earlier capitalism gave rise to the promise of liberal education. The 1960s can be seen as a celebration of this promise. There was a proliferation of egalitarian programs in education, and a democratic trend toward more responsive internal organization of administrations," Bowles observed. "In the 1970's," Bowles continued, "the celebration of this promiseturned into an apology." There is presently a tren, he said, toward more formal educational programs, in response to the complaints that "Johnny can't read." AS A RESULT, he said, "We have seen cutbacks in special programs par- ticularly affecting third-world people." On the question of the increasing amount of education which Americans are receiving today, Bowles observed, "Americans have gained more education than could be profitably put to use in American capitalism. "This situation did not come about accidentally," Bowles added. "Society demanded it." The audience laughed as Bowles completed his point, "I'm not saying the public is overeducated. It's that the jobs are dumb. We have culturally disadvantaged occupations." Gerontology project set The Institute of Gerontology at the University has launched a $97,000 project aimed at helping families more effectively meet the needs of aging parents, the University announced. Caseworkers from six offices of Child and Family Services of Michigan, Inc. (CFSM) will attend training sessions here, which will prepare them to lead weekly "support group" meetings with the adult children of aged parents. Their experiences will be incor- porated into a training module with which similar group programns can be designed by social agencies throughout the country.

"It was a period in the sixties of political cooperation, where national liberations prospered." At the end of this period, he asserted, there was a change in the policy of the superpowers, as well as a rise in "regional superpowers "-large states like Saudi Arabia and Libya. The superpowers tried to develop links bet- ween the regional powers, using them as agents to accomplish their aims, he said. Following the October, 1973, Mideast war, Auda stated, the Organization of African Unity and the Arab League held the first of their joint meetings to discuss increased Arab-African in- teraction. Then, in 1977, an Afro-Arab summit was held and declarations draf- ted by the 60 leaders in attendance were accepted. This was a major boost to the relations between the two groups, Auda said. THE ARABS SET up banks and soft- term loans designed to help the African nations develop into modern nations. Technological assistance was also given under the terms of the summit, he noted. A political declaration was accepted that stated each organization would recognize the liberation movements already recognized by the others. This led to African support of the Palestinian Liberation Organization and an Arab embargo on Rhodesia and South Africa, according to Auda. While the two blocs are seeking in- creased cooperation, and looking for compromise solutions to their problems, Auda warned that they are still facing problems. The answers to these problems, he said, will be of great concern at the next Afro-Arab summit, scheduled for 1980. CLASSES NOW FEB. 3rd LSAT CALL or WRITE University L.S.A.T.
