I didn't know Northwestern had such terrific field studies programs: Chicago Field Studies, the Archaeological Field School, and the Ethnographic Field School. With the Ethnographic Field School, I could help solve social, educa- tional, and economic problems on a Navajo reservation or in a Spanish-speaking community in northern New Mexico. There's also the Archaeological Field School. I've always wanted to take part in an archaeological dig. This year, the Archaeological Field School is doing fieldwork in the Middle Rio Grande Valley. Then again,the Chicago Field Studies program offers an inside look at the economic, political, and social forces in city life through a summer-long internship in one of Chicago's many agencies, organizations, and movements. Whatever I choose, all three offer the chance to earn college credit this summer. I never thought of Northwestern as a summer hot spot, but the campus is K2 right on Lake Michigan. (i0 O I could use some extra credit this summer, and I think Northwestern's the place to go. Summertime means smaller classes and better access to some of Northwestern's most popular professors. They even have a course on the Beatles, and if I get ambitious, I can earn a full- year of college credit with Northwestern's eight-week intensive course sequences in physics, chemistry, and nine lan- guages. It'd be nice to go back to school in the fall with a few extra credits on my transcript. Summer in the Windy City sounds like a hot time. Chicago has jazzfests, blues- fests, and gospelfests, Cubs and Sox games, some of the best museums and art galleries in the world, and ethnic festi- vals all summer long... I'd have plenty to do, and it's all just minutes from the Northwestern campus. They've got beaches, intra- mural sports, arts and crafts workshops, wine-tasting and pottery making minicourses, basketball and volleyball tournaments, campus musi- cals and theatrical perfor- mances, outdoor movies, and hiking and canoeing trips in Wisconsin.
