Developing Your Skill
as a Negotiator
Everybody negotiates! Whether it is
with families, bosses, employees,
schools, doctors, merchants or
lawyers, negotiation is the way we try to
gain the most while giving up the least.
Based on the best-selling book by
Fisher and Ury, Getting to Yes, this
class will explore the theory and
practice of negotiation in settings from
the home to the classroom, the job, and
beyond, with the premise that everyone
can improve his or her negotiating skill
with attention and practice. By
refocusing negotiation from a win-lose
to a win-win perspective, settlements
can be more satisfactory and longer-
lasting for everyone.

relationships from data.

General Interest
Wilderness Survival
What would you do if:
- that short cut back to camp didn't
work the way you planned and
you find yourself lost and alone, at
night and in the rain?
your car broke down on a desolate
highway in the middle of the
winter's worst snowstorm?
your canoe capsizes and all your
equipment ends up at the bottom
of a northwood's lake?
This course is about basic survival -
the information you need to know if, for
some reason, you decide to leave
civilization or, because of a sudden
natural or man-made disaster,
civilization decides to leave you. Your
problem might be as simple as trying to
stay comfortable under adverse
conditions, or it might be a complex as
trying to stay alive.
Through lecture, demonstration, and
films you learn to prepare yourself for
two weekend survival trips in the
Southeastern Michigan area. Travel
,arrangements will be shared by class
members.

Divorce in Perspective:
Immediate and Long-Range
Impact
Approximately half of all marriages
in the United States now end in divorce!
This course explores both the

by divorce over time, participants gain
a better understanding of how divorce
influences:
The emotional well being of adults
and children
- The relationship between parents
and children
- One's financial status and work life
- One's network of supportive
friends and kin.
Attention is also given to detailing the
typical trials and rewards of single-
parent living for both custodial, non-
custodial, and joint-custodial parents.

mastered when the formerly married
decide to cohabitate or remarry are
also discussed.

The Beginning Rock Climber
"Climbing is not just for the super fit.
Anyone can climb, just as anyone can
jog." - Paul Ross, Director of
International Climbing School and co-
author of A Rock Climber's Guide.
Rock climbing has been described as
one of the purest or deepest forms of
play (i.e., an activity that is done for the
sheer enjoyment of doing it). Research
has indicated that deep play has many
hidden benefits such as relieving
stress, opening minds to problem
solving in more creative ways, and the
development of inner resources and
feelings of excitement and exhilaration
with one's self and life.
In this course you learn how to:
- Minimize risks and maximize
enjoyment
- Rise to the top of a situation that
may at first glance look
impossible.
- Employ basic safety and climbing
techniques
- Support self and others through
essential team work

The Spring Backpacker
By the end of this course you
probably will have:
- completed an all day "shake-
down" hike in southeastern
Michigan
-- learned to identify some common
spring plants and mushrooms
- approached the outdoors with
respect and a sense of humor
- learned some tips on equipment
and food for backpacking
hiked with a small, friendly group
for two days along the Jordan
River, Michigan's first "Natural
Scenic River"
- swapped stories and perhaps a
backrub around a campfire
- listened to some tall tales of other
backpacking trips
The Memorial Day Weekend
backpacking trip will leave Friday
afternoon at 5:00. We'll spend the first
night at a cozy cabin on Chippewa Lake
in mid-Michigan. Saturday morning
we'll drive to Antrim Co. and hike with
backpacks along the Jordan River to a
backcountry campsite. On Sunday,
we'll finish our hike and then drive to a
well-hidden camping spot along the
Muskegon River for exploring some
intriguing mid-Michigan habitats.
Depending on how the season
progresses, we may see morels, pink
lady slipper orchids, bird's foot violets,
trailing arbutus, or ostrich fern fiddle-
heads, among many other interesting
species.
We'll car pool for the trip and share
food expenses and preparations. You
can "cook solo" or team up with others.

We'll help with food suggestions.
Edible wild plants and mushrooms will
be collected and cooked whenever
permissible. You will need your own
sleeping bag, ground pad, personal
items, water bottle and backpack.
Items such as stoves, tents, food,
cooking pans, and first aid equipment
can be shared, rented, or bought, if you
don't already own them. Appropriate
equipment will be discussed at the first
class.
The emphasis will be on the quality
and fun of hiking, with time for
identifying (and photographing, if you
wish) plants and mushrooms. Come and
let us add something wild to your life !
Prerequisites: past experience, past
botany or mushroom classes, or an
ability to persuade the instructors that
you will be fun and reliable on the trip.

music
How to Play the Piano
Despite Years of Lessons
For piano dropouts who can still find
Middle C on the keyboard, know the
names of the lines and spaces of the
treble clef, and want to make their own
kind of music with popular songs, folk
songs, hymns, carols, and old favorites.
Most composers, from Bach to the
Beatles, make music from a few basic
facts and a few simple ideas, such as a
basic chord dressed up, altered, or
camouflaged. Once you see how music
is made, you can make your own music
right away without spending time on
scales, keyboard exercises, or rote
learning. Co-sponsored with The Piano
Consortium, New School for Social
Research, New York City.
