Homosexuals organize
to secure equality
The Twin Cities Assembly
Committee on Student Af
fairs of the University of
Minnesota has approved for
campus membership the
newest minority group
organization on the Min
neapolis campus.
Fight Repression of Erotic
Expression (FREE) was
approved unanimously by the
committee at an Oct. 24
meeting. FREE is composed
of homosexuals and sym
pathizers wishing to secure
equal rights with the
heterosexuals in society.
The 60-membcr organization
has four main purposes. The
members plan to educute the
university community about
homosexuality and its place in
society, The members will try
to secure for homosexuals those
rights now enjoyed by hetero
sexuals. They also plan to protest
legislation of sexual morali
ty. Finally, FREE will
establish and coordinate
meetings and social events
for the homosexual student
community, for Intellectual
and social gain.
One of the primary Im
mediate goals of FREE is
lobbying for the offering of a
course on homosexuality.
The course would be taught
on the professional level for
teachers, and later to the
student body.

are Ramparts Editor Robert

be the first such organization
on a Big Ten campus.
Members hold weekly
meetings on the campus.
Sensitivity group meetings
are also held weekly to help
the members better unders
tand themselves. Members of
FREE are available for lee
tures to civic groups. Social
functions are also held
periodically.
According to leaders of the
organization, aewptance by
the university community
has been excellent. There has
been no harassment, and
approval by the committee
guarantees the organization
the same rights and
privileges that other
university clubs enjoy.
FREE was organized early
In September and looks for
increased membership and
more involvement in university
life.

a non-musical, non-talk album
entitled, "Environments: a
totally new concept in stereo
sound." (Syntonic Research
label.)
Both are billed as of
particular Interest and
significance to college students.
Taking them one at a time:
There Is no doubt about the
significance of the outraged "A
Night at Santa Rita." Scheer's
tale is of the treatment of
People's Park supporters last
spring in Berkeley after their
arrest and confinement in the
x county prison farm at Santa
Rita. Scheer was one of the
prisoners, and he was left in
credulous by what hu saw and
experienced.
"Nobody really believes
you," he says on the album.
"Even hard bitten Berkeley
radicals still hold some il
lusions about American life,
about legal limits . . ." But as
his story tells so dramatically,
Santa Rita has nothing in
common with the tenets upon
which this country supposedly
was founded.

music, the album presents a
powerful story.
But the problem with any
talk record is that it's not the
type of thing you want to play
over and over again, making
its purchase a costly proposi
tion. If you don't buy it at least
borrow It.
"Environments" on the other
hand licks the talk-record pro
blem. It can be played over and
over, and you get the same ef
fect from it. For the record has
no words as well as no music.
Just sounds, sounds that are
supposed to provide a pleasant
environment.
Side One, which can be
played with equal success at 45,
33, or 16 rpm, is "The
Psychologically Ultimate
Seashore." Depending on the
speed at which you play it, you
get 30 to 60 minutes of a roar
ing sea. Side Two is even more
exciting. "Optimum Aviary" is
assorted bird chants by 32
varieties of the feathered
wonders.
But the album is not a joke.
Its purpose is to create an en
vironment in which one can
escape the unpleasant noises of
life everything from traffic
to t.v. commercials (and
musical records.)

Brown university adopts
progressive Curriculum
CPS - Providence, R.I.
Prompted by the demands of
zealous student reformers,
Brown University has adopted
what is in many respects the
most progressive un
dergraduate curriculum to be
found in any major U.S. in
stitution of higher learning.
Freshmen, once forced to
attend huge introductory
courses in numerous specializ
ed disciplines, are given new
freedom. There are no
u niversity-required courses,
and small, informal "Modes of
Thought" courses have been
instituted to combat
depersonalization.
"Modes of Thought" courses
are interdisciplinary. A course
on the subject of revolution, for
example, might draw on the
alienated writings of Tolstoy,
Sartre and Camus, empirical
political theory, history and
political philosophy. The
courses are taught in
dependently of departmental
sponsorship by i n d i v i d u a 1
faculty members who are free
to abandon a particular course
at their wish.
"Modes of Thought" courses
have a 20-student enrollment
ceiling.
Upper-division students at
Brown no longer have to con
form to a pre-established pat
tern of study. A "Committee of
Concentrations" has been
formed to aid students in
determining study programs
tailored to individual needs.
The concept of "majoring" in
one subject and "minorlng" in
another has been done away
with. Students are expected to
plunge into a few areas of

It's a long drive homo on crowded,
icy highways. In a car that carries six
people but was built to carry five.
There's a better way to get home for
Thanksgiving.
Fly there. On Frontier.
Because when you're going home . . .
you want to spend your timo at home.
Not going,
You'll fly in comfort, with all the
trimmings that make a Frontier flight a
better way to go home.
And. our Youth Fare lets you fly homo
at a full 20 olf the regular round trip
study more intensively than
others, but there are no
numerical constraints on the
quantity of courses to be taken.
Subject to the approval of the
committee, a student might
fulfill his obligation for
"concentrating" in an area by
taking four or five courses in
it.
"The effect of the new
system is simply to remove the
artificial restraints which have,
to some degree, encouraged
students to think of 'educaMon'
in terms of specified numbers
of courses symmetrically ap
portioned into distinct
courses," explains a pamphlet
put out by the administration.
The most radical change is in
grading or, rather, the lack
of it. All course work is
evaluated either on an "A, B.
C" and "unsatisfactory" basis
or simply as "Satisfactory"
and "unsatisfactory." A stu
dent may choose the method he
prefers. No credit is given for
unsatisfactory work, and no
notation of a student's
unsatisfactory performance is
entered on his transcript.
A student must complete six
courses satisfactorily by th
end of his freshman year, 13 by
the end of his second year, 21
by the third year and 28 in
order to graduate. The ad
ministration calls the retention
of the "A, B, C" system
possibly only a "transitional
measure" until the satisfactory
no credit system can be
evaluated.
This reformed curriculum is
largely the product of students'
efforts. In 1966, a group of

independent study project, set
out to examine undergraduate
education. Fifteen months
later, they released a 450-page
report on the shortcomings of
higher education in the U.S.,
with specific recommendations
for Brown.
President Ray Heffner ap
pointed a student-faculty com
mittee to consider the report.
Then he established a Special
Committee on Educational
Principles to formulate pro
posals for reform. Last May,
the committee released its
report, and the school's faculty
met for three days to debate it.
Classes were suspended so
students could participate.
The report was adopted.
One faculty member who
helped compile the report
wrote: "The new curriculum
makes a number of radical
departures from past practices
and principles, but the un
derlying motivation is the
desire to modify an existing
tradition rather than to subvert
it.
"In the same manner in
which constitutional amend
ment preserves the integrity of
political order, curricular
reform, even the most 'revolu
tionary,' is an expression of
trust in the capacity of existing
institutions to change in order
to satisfy newly felt needs and
to pursue new purposes."
