Sat. 10-5:30 Students TtrltB To most folks these days, "roughing it" means a weekend in the Winnebago camper with no flush toilet. But to almost 40 students who went through workshops in The Plains Pioneer Experi ence this summer, roughing it meant the real thing. For five days at the beginning of each five-week summer session in 1973 and 74, about 20 students have cooked, slept, worked and playedin and around a complex of log cabins on the grounds of the Stuhr Museum of the Prairie. Pioneer at Grand Island, Nebr. The class, which is to be nominated for the 1974 National Association of Summer Sessions Award for Innovative and Creative Summer Sessions Offerings, was created by tJN-L Centennial Fellow Roger 'Welsch. In an interview last week, Welsch said the purpose of the course, which gives six hours of credit in English or Elementary Education, is to jut folklore and literature into the per spective of the 19th century pioneer experience. "How can you really study Mari Sandoz Old Jules or Cather's O Pioneers! in an air conditioned classroom, meeting twice a week?" Welsch asked. "We're not trying to duplicate pioneer life (at the workshops), but we do try to get into the environment of regional liter ature, singing the songs the pioneers sang, eating the food they ate and doing the work they did." The work part of the course, in addition to the five day living situation, includes writing a substantial paper on some aspect of folklore or regional literature, Welsch added. Recounting some of the experiences students had at the workshop this summer, Welsch remembered one night when "we were driven out of the fields by a thunderstorm," and one afternoon's half-mile walk from the cabins to Stuhr's railroad village in 107 degree weather. think Downtown iton.-Sat. 10-5:30 Thuw. 10-9:00 rough it in High temperatures this summer createu vera prc!5 lems for the students, not the least of which was the closing of the Hall County campgrounds because of fire hazardsthe workshops had been using the camp's bathrooms.
