Freshperson ROTC enlistment up 19% I The Michigan Daily, Sunday, October 2, 1983 - Page 3 rs- 'U' sponsors free programHs (Continued from Page 1)' Shellenberger attributed the 12 per- cent increase mainly to an improved at- titude about the military. "I THINK PATRIOTISM is definitely on the upswing and I think the vast majority of young folks are feeling a rededication toward the country," he said. Courte agreed with Shellenberger. "It's becoming accepted again - to serve in the military," he said. "We've finally gotten over the stigma of Viet- nam." One freshman Army ROTC student said that the anti-military sentiment of the late 1960s and early 1970s had no bearing on his decision to join ROTC. "I can hardly remember Vietnam at all," said Whitney Carter. Andy Lewis, a Navy ROTC freshman, said he enrolled in the program because "I feel I want to serve my country. I want to fly for the Navy.'r H'APPENINGS- Sunday Highlights And now for something completely different.

Doily Photo by DAN HABIB Two for one Joseph and Julie Ratcliff don't look too excited as their carriage comes to a halt in the Diag. By DEBBIE SCHRAYER Independent study used to be the only way students could study unusual or peripheral topics - topics which in- terest some students more than their standard course work. But there is an alternative. With no grades, no requirements, no credit, and best of all no tuition, Free University classes could fill a void in many schedules, according to program organizers. BEGUN IN THE 1960s as an outlet for radical views and idiosyncratic inter- pretation, Free University offers classes to all students, faculty, and community members on a variety of subjects not likely to be found in course guides. Canterbury Loft rekindled Free University last year after several years of dormancy, and begins the Fall series today. The classes are overseen by a "resource person" - a volunteer from the faculty, student body, or com- munity - and usually stress social awareness and social change. "FREE University courses promote social change for human liberation," said Free University Student Coor- dinator Richard Layman. "Our courses are different from most courses at the University in that we encourage students to confront themselves in ter- ms of social and political beliefs. "Mixing the personal and political helps people understand themselves in a societal context," Layman said. Participants in the program say the classes are informal, with no grades, examinations, requirements, or credits. Instead, organizers say they hope to promote liberal discussion on issues with the guidance of a knowledgeable overseer. THIS YEAR, Free University is also sponsored by the Michigan Student Assembly and the LSA Student Gover- nment. Part of the appeal of the free classes is the closeness of students and "teachers." "There should not be a hierarchy of teachers and students," said Free University resource person David Duboff. "The concept of-our program is that we are all participants in the class with knowledge to share." DUBOFF will be instructing a class on Networks. Another course, "Issues and Per- Read and Use Daily Classifieds spectives in City Government," will feature Ann Arbor City Council meiu- bers Kathy Edgren, Raphael Exekiel, and Larry Hunter. The course is designed to offer a first- hand view of the operation of city government, including attending Democratic Caucus and city council meetings. Other classes included in the Fall series treat such topics as feminist poetry, civil disobedience, the politics of nuclear disarmament, and land justice and peace. The classes meet for two hours, once a week for six weeks. Also, a series of special adjunct lectures are also being held Thursdays at 4:00 p.m. They are open to the public.

Taigaters con (Continued from Page 1) RANGING from family groups to parties of 100, or more, these "tailgaters" - some of them 40-year veterans of the pre-game scene - fill the Greene Street parking lots before each home game. "We love it; we wouldn't miss it," said one pair of University Alumni. "It keeps us old people a little younger." The couple said they have hosted tailgate parties in Ann Arbor for the past 36 years. TOGETHER with alumnus Bill Mazer, who has been tailgating for 40 years, they and several other families combine to feed about 100 people at each game. Mazer, who graduated from the University in 1928, has three children, six grandchildren, a son-in-law and a daughter-in-law, all of whom attended the University. Yesterday's game also marked the Wnue tradition 60-year reunion of Mazer's Sigma Alpham Mu fraternity. ONE LOT over from Mazer, another reunion of ,sorts is taking place: "The Dave Drake's Party." "We come every home game - rain or shine - even when they're losing, to the same spot for 20 years," said Ed Toton, a friend of 1959 graduate David Drake. Drake has to come to every game anyway; he works as a statistician in the Michigan pressbox. But the party offers a chance to have some fun before the game, and to show off his prize- winning eggplant. OVER THE past 20 years, Drake said the only changes in the party have been the addition of two tables to hold the food, a rose, and of course the eggplant. "We dress a little more casually now, too," he added. However, not all the tailgaters are alumni, or even have children atten- ding the University.

But you can handle it. Because Navy flight training gives you the navigation, aerodynamics and other technical know-how you need. In return, Navy aviation demands something of you as an officer: Leadership. Your path to leadership starts with officer training that's among the most demanding in the military. It's intensive leadership and professional schooling combined with rigorous Navy flight training. And it's all geared to prepare you and other college _--__ - making authority. In the air, and on the ground, you have management responsi- bility from the begin- ning. And your responsibility grows as you gain experience. No company can give you this kind of leadership responsibility this fast. And nothing beats the sheer excitement of Navy flying. The salary is exciting, too. Right away, you'll earn about $18,300 a year. That's better than the average corpora- tion will pay you just out of college.
