Welcome to Interim 1991! As always, this January should prove to be an exciting, intensive month of exploration, adventure, and learning. Whether you travel overseas, further your major, or try something completely new, Interim gives you the luxury of immersing yourself totally in one area of study. We of the Interim Committee are very excited about our central theme Many Voices, Many Ways. It is a theme emphasizing the marvelous diversity of our world--our rainbow race; our men, women, and children; our fellow creatures; our blue-green planet.
To further enhance and illuminate this central theme, we have developed a series of lectures, concerts and events in cooperation with other campus organizations. We hope that these will further stimulate thought, participation, ana enjoyment throughout the learning community and give us more opportunities to experience Many Voices, Many Ways. CONTENTS

GENERAL INFORMATION THE INTERIM REQUIREMENT: o.nly courses numbered 300-320 satisfy the Interim requirement. Two 4-semester-hour 300-320 Interim courses may be offered for less than 4-semester-hours credit; a combination of these smaller courses may be used, when available, to meet part of the basic 8 semester boor requirement. Junior or senior transfer students need complete only one 300-320 Interim course (4 semester hours). Students should complete at least one 300-320 Interim requirement by the end of their sophomore year. CORE REQUIREMENT:
During the Interim month of January some courses are offered to meet the core requirement. These courses have numbers ďż˝ the 300-320 bracket, are identified in the course descriptions, and will !lQ1 meet the Interim requirement. By the same token, a 300-320 Interim course may illl1 meet the core Courses to meet the core requirement. requirement will be graded in the manner of regular courses. MAJOR REQUIREMENTS:
Interim courses, for the most part, have
been designed for the non-major even when a
Procedure: The student completes a proposal on a form provided by the Interim Director (A-103.) The proposal must then be approved by a supervising instructor and by the dean of the instructor's department or school. The student is responsible for submitting the proposal, with the instructor's and dean's signatures, to the Interim Director (BY No.VEMBER I.) The Interim Committee will act on the proposal as soon as possible. requirements: other meet To Independent studies which do not meet the Interim requirement will assume the number the individual department or school has designated for such purposes and need not be submitted to the Interim Committee for review. PLAN OF ACTION:
Students may "be on campus" without registering for a course, provided their general program of activity is approved by their advisor and submitted to the Office of the Registrar. Such a program shall not receive cred it, be counted toward graduation requirements, or appear on the transcript. The plan should be submitted no later than December I. Applications are available in the Registrar's Oftlce. TRAVEL IN JANUARY:
prerequisite is recommended. However, some 300-320 Interim courses are designed for major or advanced students and are so designated in the COurse description (only one such course may be used to meet the two-course Interim requirement.) A 300-320 Interim course 1lillY be counted toward a major, as well as toward the Interim requirement, at the discretion of the chair or dean of the major department or school.
In addition to off-campus studies offered at PLU, other institutions, in all parts of the world and the United States, provide travel-study options during the month of January. Check the special files in the Interim Director's Office to loole at catalogs and brochures. The Interim Director is available to help you follow up.
ELECTIVFS:
GUIDELINES Fo.R INTERIM EXCHANGE o.FPORTUNITIES:
The third and fourth Interim courses taken (more than 8 semester hours of 300-320 Interim courses) may count as electives toward the 32 course total required for graduation. UPPER DIVISlo.N REQUIREMENT: Courses numbered 300-320 will not meet the upper division requirement. However, courses numbered above 320 will meet the requirement. INDEPENDENT STUDY OPTlo.N To meet the Interim requirement: Up to one full course (4 semester hours) of the Interim requirement may be met by an independent study course completed during January. Most of the departments/schools of Pacific Lutheran University are prepared to implement such individual study-research (The Interim Commlttee must projects. approve ALL independent study courses proposed to m.eet the Interim requirement.) Such courses will be designated by the number 320. Mere experience, such as travel or work or a job, does not constitute an adequate course of study. The student should show that hi or her experience will involve intellectual inquiry that is substantial enough to justify the hours of academic credit desired. The proposal should specify how the instructor will both guide and evaluate the student's intellectual growth.
PLU Students: The exchange program offers students the opportunity to study during January in many other parts of the country. Students interested in such programs will find catalogs available in the Office of the Interim Director (A-103). Requests for applications to participate in an exchange on another campus should be directed to the same officer prior to December I. There is usually a $10.00-$20.00 non-refundable application fee payable to the host institution. The exchange program is open to sophomores, juniors and seniors with a cumulative grade point average of 2.00 or higher. Freshmen may not apply. STUDENTS ARE ADVISED TO. CHECK THE CREDIT VALUE o.F COURSES AT o.THER INSTITUTIo.NS. PACIFIC LUTHERAN UNIVERSITY CANNOT GRANT Mo.RE CREDIT THAN TIlE Ho.ST INSTITUTlo.N GRANTS. If a
full course (4 semester hours) is needed to complete a degree program, the student should be certain the course carries 4 semester hours credit or equivalent. The Interim tuition fee will be paid hy exchange students to the home institution (PL U students pay PLU). Board and room fees will be paid at the host institution according to its
3
fee schedule. Reminder: o.n-campus PLU students have paid for l.nterim room along with their fall payments. If a student chooses to participate in Interim exchange elsewhere, the PLU board fee for January will not be charged. PLU students participating in an exc"hange are required to carry health and accident insurance which will cover them 24 hours a day (see INSURANCE section). In past years, many institutions across the country have cooperated with PLU in exchange opportunities. Interim catalogs and brochures from numerous schools are available for your perusal in the Interim Director's office. STUDENTS APPLYING FOR AN INTERIM EXCHANGE AT ANOTHER INSTITUTION MUST DO. SO THRo.UGH THE INTERIM DIRECTo.R. A partial list of institutions participating in the Interim exchange includes: Augsburg College, Minneapolis, MN Augustana College, Sioux Falls, SD Austin College, Sherman, TX Bethany College, Lindsborg, KS Bethel College, St. Paul, MN California Lutheran, Thousand o.aks, CA Calvin College, Grand Rapids, MI Carthage College, Kenosha, WI Dana College, Blair, NB Denison University, Granville, OH Doane College, Crete, NB Gustavus Adolphus, St. Peter, MN Hamline University, St. Paul, MN Hastings College, Hastings, NB Luther College, Decorah, IA Macalester College, St. Paul, MN Menlo College, Menlo Park, CA St. Andrews College, Laurinberg, NC St. Olaf College, Northfield, MN Sheldon Jackson College, Sitka, AK University of Redlands, Redlands, CA Whitworth College, Spokane, WA Vjsiting Students: PLU welcomes exchange students from other 4-1-4 institutions. We feel that the exchange students, with their diverse backgrounds, enrich our campus and we hope that our extensive curricular and extracurricular offerings during January provide a broadening experience for them in return. PLU will waive tuition for students from other institutions that have agreed to accept PLU students on a tuition waiver exchange basis. In the event that such a waiver agreement is not possible, there will be a charge of $1415 for each 4-5 bours taken ($296 for each hour in excess of 5). Exchange students must also send a non-refundable $15 application fee with their application. On campus housing is required so that exchange students may participate fully in the many special activities offered during Interim. Although the tlnal application deadline ,is December I, students are urged to apply earlier since classes and dormitories tend to fill. Exchange applications should be sent to Dr. Judy Carr, Interim Director, Pacific Lutheran University, Tacoma, WA, 98447.

NATIONAL REPORTING C0TII 306 4 semester bours C. Rowe & M. Marcotte
Journalists report national issues from two perspectives: that of the nation'S capital, and that of the regions of the country from which those issues emerge and where they eventually have their greatest impact on citizens. In this course each student will study and write about a national issue of his or her choice from both perspectives. The students will spend the first two weeks of the course researching the issue of their choice through government documents, books and articles and interviews with journalists, officials and others in this area. At approximately mid-semester, the class will go to Washington, D . C . , where students will have eight days to continue their research, only this time with sources there. Also, during their stay in the capital, the students will tour a variety of media, including The Washington Post, NBC Studios, and National Public Radio. Students during their initial research phase will write and present reports on their studies and produce a schedule of interviews and other activities for their time in Washington, D . C . The final project in the class will be an article(s) based on their research . The trip to and from Washington, D.C. will be by rail, during which there will be daily discussions of regional media and issues of current interest. We hope to involve others travel ing with us in these discussions, whether formally or i ¢ormally.

ttGOULASH & GLASNOST : REFORM NEVER TASTED SO GOOD" ECON 304 4 semester hours M. Reiman
Hungary today is at the forefront of the reform and reintegration efforts in Eastern Europe. Hungary's goal is nothing less than to become the "Singapore of EUJope" , a center for trade and commerce, once again linking the West with the Soviet Union and the Near East. The reformers are making rapid progress
towards their goal with the formation of over 750 joint ventures in 1989 alone, a virtual gold rush of foreign investment. Hungary is a fascinating country at the crossroads of East and West Europe whose culture combines the fierce independence of the Magyars, the mysticism of the Turkish Khans, and the elegance of the Austrian Habsburgs. This small nation with its Central Asian roots stands in linguistic and cultural isolation from its surrounding Slavic and Germanic neighbors, with distant linguistic relationships only to the Finns and Estonians. The Magyars first arrived on the Great Plain east of the Danube in 896 A.D. Their horsemanship was legendary, and they turned up as mercenaries in the employ of Western princes everywhere from the Pyrenees to the Byzantine empire. Even today, the uniqueness of Hungarian culture is to be found in the semi nomadic herdsmen of the Great Plain around Deb recen , near the Romanian border. Hungary's national dish, gulyas (goulash) is named for the Hungarian cowboy of the plain, who prepared this simple, yet delicious, pork soup on the open fire in camp. Subsequent occupations by the Turks, Habsburgs, Germans and Soviets have fueled the intensely nationalistic nostalgia for the period of "greater Hungary", a reference to the borders of the ninet.eenth century state which included present-day Transylvania, as well as large parts of Slovakia, and Slovenia, including the port city of Trieste on the Adriatic. It was during this period that Hungary produced such figures of world renown as Franz Liszt, Zoltan Kodaly, and Bela Bartok. The course will focus on the social, political, and economic effects of the current economic reform. The Hungarian Democratic Forum, winners in the recent elections, are a relatively nationalistic political party. Will they curtail the joint venture gold rush? How will Hungary maintain its unique cultural identity in the face of an onslaught of Western financial capital? How will the Hungarian people fare as the cradle-to-grave safety net of socialism is stripped away? Will the new Hungary that emerges from this arduous reform process look more like the Swedish welfare state, or the laissez-fare capitalism of Thatcher's Britain? This course is a chance for students to observe first-hand a nation in the throes of a reform whose final outcome is at best uncertain. The course will begin in Vienna with visits to international institutions such as the United Nation's Industrial Development Organization and the offices of Business Eastern Europe. Then we proceed to Budapest for two weeks of economic and cultural observation including a day trip to Lake Balaton for a traditional Hungarian meal hosted by the Nagy family in their 165-year-old country home. A five-day trip to Prague is planned during the last week to observe the Czechoslovak variant of economic reform, including a meeting with representatives of the investment group formed recently by former U.S. ambassador to Hungary, Mark Palmer.

Students will be evaluated on the basis of a preliminary exam covering background material on Hungary and a tinal summary paper. During the entire in-country experience, every attempt will be made to keep afternoons free for students to explore the limitless cultural variety of Vienna, Budapest and Prague according to their own personal interests.

INTERIM IN THE COUNI'RY: A FIELD EXPERIENCE IN RURAL EDUCATION EDUC 303 4 semester hours J. Zylstra & R. Mulder
This course is designed to provide potential teachers with an introduction to unique classroom-related, school-related, and socio-cultural factors that exist in small schools in rural areas. These may include such things as split grade level classes, multiple preparations in different subjects, limited resources and/or equipment, cultural and professional isolation and high community involvement in the school . A special feature of this course is the student's full immersion in the social, cultural , and education dimensions of a small rural town. Students will be assigned to a school with a cooperating teacher in their subject matter or grade level choice, and will live with a host family in the school district. They will observe classes and participate in instructional activities as agreed upon by them, their cooperating teacher, and supervisor. One-half day each week will be spent visiting a different school. Weekly seminars will provide regular opportunities for discussing experiences, sharing and gathering ideas, and mutual support. Evaluation in the class will be based on attendance at the school to which the students are assigned, on field trips and at seminars; participation in the seminar an on performance discussion; observation/interview guide included in the handbook; and the integration of theory and practice reflected in a daily journal . Placement in a school and with a host family is the responsibility of the School of Education and requires a completed application form signed by the student. Application forms, and a mandatory tally card, are available from the instructor. Organizational meetings and orientations will begin in November, §Q appl icatioos and registration must be completed by November 9. 1990.

LOGIC AND SCIENCE I N THE SERVICE OF JUSTICE: CURRENT FORENSIC SCIENCE IN SHERLOCK HOLMES' LONDON-1991 PHll.. 302 4 semester hours J. Nordby In a civilized society, murder is considered the nllimate crime i n part, perhaps, because life is highly valued and death is
greatly fWed. Gladstone once remarked ·Show me the manner in wbich a natio n cares for its dead, and I will measure with mathematical exactness the tender mercies o f its peo ple , their respect for the laws of the land, and their loyalty to high ideals. " In this course, we will i ntensively study applications of logic and science to so lve homil:ides. We will also examine the non-scientific standards that such solutions must meet to be admissible in coun. This wil l be acco mp lished by comparing the forensic sciences in the United States with their practice in the U nited Kingdom. We wiU gai n an appreciation for "the tender mercies , respe\."t for l aw, and l oy al ty to high ideals" that Gladstone mentions by studying homicide invest igation in its moral , religious, legal, and scientific aspects. We begin with an intensive study of tact ics , procedures , and forens ic techniques. We will tour the Pierce Coun ty Medical Examiner's Office, and learn about medico legal death inv esti gatio n. Students will be encouraged to learn basic human anatomy, basic medical and legal tenus, and to devel op a perso nal perspective on the ethical and religious
dim nsions of 110mi ide investigations . Students will become able to observe death in exp l icit detail from a scientific perspective, yet not deny the d p feelings associated with the eJl:pecience. Such feelings form the basis for the concept of j ustice and for the qualities as noted by Gladstone.
During the titst week, we will also introduce some of the philosopl1ical issues raised by death, including i mmo rt al ity , Justice, and the problem of ev il , as well as issues about the nature of explanations in science and law. January 15 we leave SeaTac for London. We will study at Hendon Metropolitan Police Training School, where we will take a version of their Forensic Scene of Crime Course . We will tour New Scotland Yard, and visit the famous Black Museum. We will tour the Metropolitan Police Forensic Science Lab, and visit the Museum of Pathol ogical S pecimens , Dept. of Pathology at Guy' s Hospital , London.
Armed with insigh from these experiences, we will follow a homicide case from crime scene analysis through the forensic science lab, and to the Forensic Patho logy Dept. of Guys Hosp ital . W will observe a fu l l forensic aut psy, learning protocols and analyzing their logical force. We will then follow a case through tbe coroners courts, observe the Magistrate's courts, and visit the croWD coun, ¡Old Baley . ' Accommodations will b e typical Britisb Student quarters (bring a heavy sweater) . Travel in London will be by "Tube" (subw ay) , "Lorry" (bus), or "WalKing" (foot) . We will bave one cultural event of either classical music or jazz at the Albert Hall (bring some good clothes). Side trips in search of 22 1 B Baker Street are a d isti nct possibility. Tuesday , January 29 we leave London for Tacoma.
SPECIAL STUDY ABROAD OPTION FOR INTERIM
SERVICE LEARNING IN INDIA One of PLU's study abroad programs provides a new opportunily for the month of January-a volunteer position in Calcutta, India. Students will work at least 40 bou rs in the bomes for the destitut.e of Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta, Dr. Jack's Street Clinic or other service agen ies. Mother Teresa' s homes are for the dying; for those who are ill or unable to care for themselves; and for premature infants and malnourished children whose parents cannot care for them. The help given is basic washing and feeding, plus offering loving companionship and dignity to the poor and the ill. Dr. Jack's two clinics treat 300 or more peop le a day. Volunteers with medical training assist with medical care; those without training assi t in the packing and distribution of foodstuffs and medicine. During the three week program in India, students, under the direction of the accompanying facul ty , will partic i p ate in 14
two-hour seminars on topics covering the history, religions. and cultures of India. Additionall y, 60 hours of field trips are scheduled to other religiou s, medical, educational and service institutions in Calcutta, such as those of the Bengal Service Soc iety . In addition, individual interests of students may lead to independent stud ies in various departments. Before departure, students will be given
a reading L ist and mater ials which they sh ould be prepared to discuss during the seminars. Under the direction of the facu l ty leaders, each student will write a college level researcb paper of 12- 15 pages. See the Study Abroad Office
(HA-I03) for information.
The final week we will continue to discuss the forensic sciences in the United States. We will eval uate the relationship of scientific and legal explanations in the U.S. and in the U. K. and analyze the legal, scientific, and ethical issues raised by death investigations.

GRINGOS IN CENfRAL AMERICA: THE ECONOMICS, POLITICS AND ETmCS OF DOING BUSINESS WITH CENTRAL AMERICANS BUSA 31S 4 semester hours R. Kibbey "It's easy to do business here because the government isn t so uptight about things Ilke they are in !he States (as a North American '
industrialist In Honduras said .)' Foreign business has, with little exception, been welcomed and actively encouraged in Central America since the days of independence from the Spanish . This is a region where substantial, property-<lwning North Americans can drop in on the head of a National M in istry without thought of making an appointment. A key reason for the encouragement of foreign business is that the affairs of the region bave been ruled by a well remunerated local elite who are very much aware of the considerable benefit of foreign investment. Foreign presence has long been recognized and encouraged as the source of good things.
Unimpeded access lo the regional economy has, in turn, been aggressively supported by the United States. The stated inlention, particularly since the lat ni neteen fifties, has been that the pol icy was geared to improve the economic and social conditions in the region and specifically to contribute to "the steady improvement of the welfare of the people. " The overall intention was to encourage stability and peace in the region through economic development. The policy was based on clear theoretical positions. These are positions which still, today , underlie United States policy in the area . Have they failed? Is this the theory on which we want to continue building policy? Are there viable alternatives to present United States pol icy? With prime focus on the post-World War II period, the course will survey the h istory of the region in order to highlight the role of European and North American countries. The ethics of doing business in Central America wiU be examined with the purpose of drawing functional conclusions. The objective for the course is the development of a basis for understanding what Central American wrilers refer to as "Ia crisis centroamericana" of the last decade. That will be studied particuJarly in the COntext of the role in that crisis played by foreign involvement. The focus on foreign involvement will be carried out through a study of the culture of the region and of the history which it underlies, together with the examination of specific topics which relate to the crisis. The course will combine observations based on the personal experience of the instructor with more rigorous analysis of the region provided by h istorians, economists and pol itical scientists who have studied it in recent years. The instructor has lived in Central America and owned two businesses there . He presently counts himsel f among those who are doing serious academic study of the reg ion.
The conduct of the course will involve: lectures; class discussions of the requried reading which are based on checklists for preparation of the discussions; presentations by people who are familiar with the region; presentations and discussions of research projects to be chosen by snidents. and a final research paper.

Can government policies reduce inflation and unemployment? Or, on the other hand, do government poliCies cause these problems? Is it true that banks create most of our money supply?

Why might it be in the profit interst of a monopoly or cartel to restrict its output? Do goods and services have value because l and , labor, and capital are required to produce them, or are these economic resources put into use because goods and services have value?

First, the questi.on of how existing trade patterns came into being is addressed by an analysis of the concepts of a factor endowment and comparative advantage. The analysis looks a.t how trade barriers , such as tariffs , impact on the international flow of exports and imports. Historically, the question of Third World economic growth models is considered in relationship to present models su h as I mport-Substitution . In its second part, the course addresses the concept of foreign exchange and Its relationship t.o each country's balance of paymem. The rate of domestic inflation and unemployment is also analyud relative to the rate of fo reign exchange and international capital flows in both industrial and Third World countries . Course evaluation will be based on two or three essay exams, weeldy assignments, and class participation.

The goal here is to learn something about the world of academic writing in a range of areas, to investigate new intellectual areas, or to seek oew levels of sophistication in areas where you already have a modest familiarity . And since all the authors involved in these studies will be members of the PLU faculty, you will have the additional opportunity of interviewing or questioning the authors whose book s you are getting to know. We will have some common readings to Charles Bergman' begin our discussions: WUd Echoes, a book on endangered species, and samples from two histories of PLU, Philip Nordquist 's Educating for Service and Walter Schnack-eoburg 's The Lamp and the Cross.

For twenty years the struggle by South Africans for liberation has been promoted and recorded by an "alternative" theater th at unleashed the energy of the people ' s own voices, expressing the pain of their personal tragedies. Powerful in its challenges to apartheid, this theater evolved out of separate Black, English, and Afrikaner traditions, using innovative techniques of improvisation. Though staJ:lc e'Xamples of inhumanity and oppression will shock and disturb us, we will delight at the human spirit's strength to survive some of the craziest siwatioRS imaginable.

HEALTH CARE ETmCS: ISSUES OF AGE AND LIFE STYLE
PBIL 323 1 semester hour P. Menzel
Some of the most controversial current moral issues in health care revolve around an increasing perception of the scarcity of our SOciety's health care resources . To put the brakes on the growing ponion of GNP we now spend on health care (over 12%, more than twice that for national defense), proposals have been made to allocate resources, fIrSt, toward care of the young and away from less productive care of the eWerly, and second, toward preventive life-style changes and away from high-tech .. crisis· care. This shon course will look at selected forms of these proposals and the moral debates they raise. On age rationing we will read mucb of a controversial recent book, Setti n� Limits, by D. Callahan, and look at the British practice of rarely doing kidney dialysis on patients over 65. On preventi n we will look at the reduction of smoking and explore whether resources should be allocated away from crisis care for smoking related diseases such as lung cancer. Students will read selected papers and most of one book. All will participate in discussion and write one short position paper presented to the class at the last meeting.

What is light?
I there any real to it? How is it made? What makes it go so fast and how do we measure its speed? Like Einstein, we naturally wonder about such basic questions. In thi course, which combines lectures with direct laboratory experience, we investigate the fundamental cbaracter of light and study some of ill applications: What is a laser? What are holograms and bow are they made? What determines the color of an object? How do rainbows and mirages and fireflies do what they do?

We begin with the view of light as a wave, and examine the spectrum of light from x-rays to black light to visible light and microwaves. We study the photon picture of ligbt as well as behaviors of light such as diffraction and light bending. Particular attention is paid to the properties of polarization and color: What causes color at a microscopic level? How are primary colors added or subtracted to produce new variations in color? How does the eye's response to color lead to certain kinds of optical iIlu ions? A substantial part of the course is optical devoted to applicati ns of light: detectors (cameras, microscopes, telescopes and our eyes), atmospheric effects and lasers (how they work and what types are in use). We lov tigate holography, and students have opportunities to make several different types of holograms .

Can it really be true, what Gerry Spence, prominent lawyer from Wyoming has written: "History cannot remember a time when we did not hate our women" (Trial by Fjre; The True Stocy of a Woman's Ordeal at the Hands of the Law ( 1986))? Did former Justice Bradley of the United States Supreme Court, when he wrote in hill concurring opinion to Bradwell y. flIinois (1873) that "man is, or should be, woman's protector and defender,· "hate" women? Is it a fair characterization that after winning the vote in 1920, "some women were integrated into the male political culture, but not as equals"? (preface, From Mar�in to Mainstream' Am rican Women and Politics Since 1960 (1988)). And , finally, what to make of the slogan found on a colorful button--but appearing in the contemporary cartoon strip ·Cathy·-that "All Men Are Created Equal. All Women Are Created Superior·? These and other ·voices" will be collected, described, analyzed, questioned, then analyzed again and anew in order to provide the data from which we shall try to recognize and acknowledge our own voice in the context of other voices-from the past, in the present, and for the future. The focus and materials adopted in Women Pol itics. and Law will be America and American; however, comparative materials from other cultural traditions will be drawn upon to provide a cross-cultural understanding of women, politics, and law. Whenever possible, representatives of American poLitical and legal institutions, as well as those who can speak for other, non-American political and legal institutions will be invited to participate in our classes , or we'll go visit them, attempting to participate in their classes, workplaces, and I ifestyl .

THE BALTIC STATES: THE
WAY OF PEACEFUL CHANGE I'OLS 317
4 sernster hours
D. Farmer " Assisted by G. King The focus of this course is the peaceful evolution of freedoms in the Baltic States. The singing revolutions in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are gaining unprecedented popular support. They are forcing a re-examination of the relationships of these countries with the Soviet Union and other neighbors. Here the reassertion of national value systems by poets, ecologists and guardians of national cultures provide the intellectual leadership. There are calls for a massive policy change affecting Soviet plans for industrial development, preservation of local ecology, languages for doing business, local, interregional, and international trade, forms of business and other organizations. The very future of the Baltic nations is changing from day to day.
PSYCHOLOGY CROSS-CULTURAL CIDLD DEVELOPMENT PSYC 310 4 semester hours C. Moon In the past decade, mainstream developmental psychologists bave increasingly acknowledged the ethnocentrism of tbe field. There has been a call for studies of development in cultures other than the white middle class in America. For example, anthropologist Jobo Ogbu bas questioned the notion that poor, uneducated parents in U . S . subcultures have deficient parenting practices and need to be trained according to white middle class standards. In Cross-Cultural Child DevelQpment, we will examine biases in developmental research as well as selected examples of comparative studies.
The course begins with a review of recent Baltic independence, under Stalin emergence of
history, including the years of World War II, Soviet domination and bis successors, the re national cultures, and the policy
issues faced by the Baltic nations in the 19805. It is followed by a study of specific policy issues and formulations: I) balance of independence, autonomy, and dependence in a command system in the sphere of political
2) the roles of the Communist front organizations, popular independence movements, Interfront activists, and the institutions of central Soviet gover.nment and local and states organizations, 3) ecology and traditional values--national relationships,
parties,
clabns on national assets, 4) individual and group freedoms of choice and activities in the realm of personal beliefs and expression, 5) economic relationships in an economy do minated by centralized ministries, the potential of economic liberalization preconditions to improvements; 6) demographic balance and preservation of national identity mobility limitations, and 7) models for new societies.
I)
Developmental topic areas will include
the biological bases of behavior, 2) cross cultural studies of perception and socialization, 3) gender role development, 4) public policy and cultural diversity. Sources of information for the class will be original research articles, films and videos, and invited speakers . Students will be expected to question their own, their culture's, and the " experts ' " points o f view on child development. They will participate in classroom discussion and debate, and they will independently make at least one outside observation of child behavior. Grades will be based upon a weeldy in-class writing exercise, class participation, and a written report of the outside observation.

MYTH, SYMBOL & RITUAL REU 231 .. semster hours
M. Duntley
In the first half of the term we will become self-conscious of our own myth/symbol/ritual systems, then analyze specific texts and events to identify the many voices and many ways religiosity is expressed in cross-cultural myths, symhols, and rituals . We will study dreams, dramas, visions, art, and folk tales, and we will observe specific ritual practices. The second part of the course will be devoted to ritual . Ritual is more than a codified tradition; it is a process , a fluid form, subject to change and transformation. We will look at a wide variety of ritual processes: interaction rituals and body language; rites of passage in birth, marriage, illness, death ; rituals of ceremony-civU, legal, and ethnic; ritual drama festivals; religious rites-liturgy, and meditation, pilgrimage, spirit possession.
Readings will be assigned from texts, and from an anthology of Xeroxed articles relevant to each section of the course. Questions on the readings, class discussion and outside observations form the basis of the student joumal--a day-by-day account of the student 's learning process and record of reaction to the material . " Field trips" for ritual observation will be scheduled if time permits. Each student will be responsible for outside observation of ritual activity, and will give an oral report of that field work experience to the entire class.

HEARING VOICES: YOUR NEIGHBOR IS SCIDZOPHRENIC RELI 300 .. semester hours
S. Govig
This course addresses the cultural diversity represented in the issues surrounding those among us d iagnosed as "schizophrenic" and treated as modem lepers. For most, the word itself is disquieting and conjures visions of lunacy, asylums, and violence; others define it flippantly and incorrectly as "split personal ity . â&#x20AC;˘ Health care professionals have sorted out parts of the truth : the vast majority are meek and passive; hearing "voices" inaudible to the rest of us, they actually suffer from a brain disease similar to Alzheimer's. Further, they report, l out of 100 Americans today will be d iagnosed for the affliction in his or her lifetime. Moreover, one-fourth of America's homeless population are likely mentally ill refugees of the "deinstitutionalization" program begun in the 1 960s . W ith the Biblical imperative " You shall love your neighbor as yourself (Lev . 1 9 : 1 8) , our study seeks religious contexts which may complement current medical and political strategies for promoting the social integration of these disadvantaged neighbors. Thus we shall first consult E. Fuller Torrey, Surviving Schizollhrenia (rev. ed.) to define health care and social backgrounds. Next, a "psychiatric" interpretation of the Biblical Job will advance ways of coping and endurance for both the afflicted and their The Encyclolled ia of Religion families. (Mircea Eliade, ed.) provides a resource for study'of other religious approaches to madness. The instructor will share journal data from the Schizollhrenia Bulletin as well as materials provided as a public service by the American Psychiatric Association.

A required paper will research a specific religious tradition or, for example. schizophrenia in the l ives of famous religious persons such as Vincent Van Gogh. Class time will include lectures, guest speakers as available, and critical reviews of tilms such as One Flew Over the Cudc:oo's Nest.
