Seminar
by Cheryl Westcott
The inauguration of the
Centennial Education Program
(CEP) marked the University's
100th year in February, 1969.
In its third year, Centennial
College continues to offer its
students and the community
new approaches to learning.
Centennial will host the
third annual National
Conference on Experimental
Living-Learning Programs
Colleges in Undergraduate
Education Nov. 11 to 13.
Robin West, co-chairman of
the event, said it will be a
"working conference."
MORE THAN 400 deans,
faculty members and students
from experimental colleges
across the country will attend,
she said. The conference will
explore the major problem
areas in experimental
education through panel
discussion and workshops,
West said.
The academic and social
environment of Nebraska's
experimental college "permits,
encourages and supports the
development of initiative,
curiosity and confidence 'in
learning," Ted Beck, senior
fellow for the program, said.
The Centennial Course is a
six credit program that permits
students to pursue their own
educational interests. Eleven
faculty members from various
disciplines are presently serving
as the program's fellows to aid
students with their projects.
ESSENTIALLY, a project is
anything a student decides to
study. This semester students
are learning Mandarin Chinese,
building a dulcimer, tutoring
Winnebago Indian children,
doing research with the
Democratic and Republican
parties and preparing to
present a play. .
Judaism, Herman Hesse,
educational reform, Polynesia
and wealth in America are
other projects students are
pursuing.
Most of the students live in
two dormitories of the
Women's Residence Halls.
Consequently, it is difficult to
make distinctions between the
living and learning experiences,
Beck said.
"BY INTENTION it should
be the most exciting
community within the
University," Beck said. This is
due to the quality of the
environment and the
combination of living and

learning, he said.
The program is different
this year, Beck noted. Both
students and fellows have a
greater commitment, to their
projects and "the program goes

Centennial and frequently hold
rap sessions with the students,
he said.
