CAMPUS UPDATE, April 1, 1981, page 4 Philosophy Class Learns to Care by: Dave Talbot The art of caring is to help an individual grow to his or her full potential. “Undertaking a project to understand the meaning ot caring helps to recognize one of the def- initions of caring. This semester, Mr. Hall’s Phil- osophy class is involved in under- taking individual caring projects from many different areas in life. The ‘caring project coincides with the books used in the philoso- phy class this semester. ‘Alora with the required reading a person has to experience _ caring. This means becoming: involved in growing and expanding outside of their world or becoming involved with the inner world. At the beginning of the semes- ter, students wrote their own con- tract as to which project they would-undertake and presented it to Mr. Hall. When the semester ends an interview of each student will be conducted to determine the npee each project had on a uden: one area chosen by a student is the project of working with men- tally and physically handicapped children in a situation. Penny Palmer, the student working on the project spends one and a half hours working in the home with these children. Her job is to deal with people who have short attention spans, behavior problems and motor skills problems. The five children she works with range’ in age from 7-19 years old and it ee comes a demanding job trying t get them to play Acrelouaerial games. Although the actual class- room activity is over, Penny feels that teaching handicapped children in the home is just as important as being taught in the classroom. Ross Corpe, another student of Philosophy is currently working on a project which has to do with disassémbling a motor cycle engine and putting it back together in working order. His reason for doing this project is he wanted to do something that would minimize the social and material return for doing this project. He feels he will gain no recognition from other people (except himself) and the material reward will be very small. Corpe feels that: his project has already affected his life. ‘‘I have articulated this concept of car- ing’ he states, ‘’and can now use it as a tool in measuring my at- titudes toward other people and things.” He went on to: say, “’l feel that this project addresses a vital need of our society—that of de- eloping ‘‘humanness’’ in people. This characteristic is sorely lacking in this time of cost-effective value judgements which determine our ~ relationships to the world. Every- thing is judged according to its return value i.e., “what will this do for me in either social or meena return.” feels that a person who ee Ly this belief and they say are more than an animal ee is grave hypocrisy. The projects are a requirement for philosophy, but whether a stu- dent fails or not, its the trying.to show “I care enough’’ which counts. The other areas chosen by some students include giving piano lessons, working at Alpena General Hospital, painting and working with elementary students who play basketball. The caring project is now in its fifth year. Classic Film Feature : Rosa Morrison Shadows of Forgotten Ances- tors by Sergei Parajgnov is‘. . .sum- ptuous saga, in colour, of a ‘Romeo and Juliet of the Carpathians. Chants, folk songs, atonal music, all combine with fantastic camera work, make this a haunting work,’’ said the London Festival. lows, is about the robust colorful life of the Gustuls, during the 19th century. All their customs involving birth, marriage and death are interwoven into this episodic account of a young man who marries without love after the death of his true sweetheart. The new wife seeks aid from rituals of. witch- craft, while the emotional atmos- phere becomes more and more in- volved with the interweaving of the past and the world of the occult visions. With its unusual colors, impro- bable camera angles, and precarious balance between ritual and orgy, Parajanov proves that nothing succeeds like excess, and in the process he succeeds in establishing Shadows 2 its own stylistic basis. jhadows has won awards from the Longer | New York, San Fran- cisco, Mar-Del Plata, PED and Thessaloniki Festival movie will ‘be shown Wed. and Thurs., April 1 and 2, NRC room 150, at 7:30 p.m. Wed. admission ‘by student 1D, and by tickets obtained at the BTC lobby for Thurs. with an introduction by Lawrence Boyer.

Solar Greenhouse Begins Early Growing Season by: Greg Hurd & As spring is attempting to ‘warm things up, the solar green- house located near the Besser Tech Building is achieving a mid-day high of 95 degrees. In that environment, tomatoes, radishes, and other Vege- tables have begun an early growing season. The 24’ by 12’ “A'-frame structure was built by the Concrete Tech and Building Trades classes. Equipment and assistance was pro- vided by the Forestry Department. lt was funded through private grants, the bulk of which came from. the Northeast. Michigan Community Service Agency. ie “‘solar’’ aspect begins with the use of collectors which warm the interior atmosphere by absor- bing heat from the sun’s rays. Vents are used to cool the air if it becomes too hot. ture remains fairly consistent year- round, except in November, when it’s mostly cloudy. ant ane and temperature apes are closely — monitored. Richard Clute holds the responsibil- ity from the faculty end, along with County Energy Coordinator Tom Kenney and Steven Kopacki, a former student.
