Teachers are for listening to your ideas, for letting you paint your picture where you want to paint it, and for helplngyou learn to work on your own.
PURPO SE OF CONCEPT "The purpose of the open classroom concept is to adjust the curri culum to thechlld rather than the child to the curricu lum ," said Jackson. 11 Open classrooms give se lfreliance back to the child -- he ts responsible for his own education," added Professor Jean Pugmire, who, with Dr. J ackson is co-directing the workshop. Rogers will come to the Logan workshop from Leicestershire , England, where he has been working in an open classroom situa tion. His experi ence in Britain's schools has led to the publlcatlon of a book, "Tea ching In the British Primary School." In a pictorial essay about the English school set-up, Rogers says "Schools are, of course, places for children -- toplayand
RIGHT FOR CHILDREN? "M ost important of all, school is a place where children can take time to be children, to learn --when they are ready --in ways that are right for children .... and to feel good about thems elves/' he said. Rogers holds a Doctor of Education degree from Syracuse Uni versity. Besides teaching, he has had experience in directing teac her training programs, lec tur ing In the university com munity, and serving on the Educators to Africa staff. He Is the author of five textbooks and numerous articles about social studies. Bowen School began directing its teaching concept toward the open cla ssroom last year with the aid of an Educational Professions Development Act grant. Teachers and aides from five Utah school districts (Ogden( Ir on, Grand, Cache and TooeleJ spent an academic year in Bowen classrooms learning to teach childre n with wide learntngvariabllity . PRACTICE TRAINING They return to their classrooms In the various districts lo put the training into practice. Other tea chers and aides from these districts will parti cipate in a similar pr ogram during the 1971-72 school year.
The consultants who will work wlth the early childhood educators during the week-long workshop include Dr. Glen Nimnlcht, consultant for the Far West Regiona l Lab for Research and De velopment in Berk eley, Calif.

Upward gets'down topeople' -- it works Editors' note: the fol1owing comment has been written by two people associated with the Upward Bound program (Student Life, June 28). Joy Andrews is a student in the program and editor
ot
their paper.
Richard Shafer is a staff member and teacher.
The Federal Government ts huge, cumbersome, coldly bureaucrati c and just about all we have as a tool of large-scale change. Many say that the revolution is coming, that problems in our soci~ty can only l ead to chaos and a total br eak-down of the systems which
govern our nation. Maybe an introductionlikethlslsalittleheavy, to take many things into consideration
thing like VISTA, the Peace Corps ,
but it is necessary when one speaks of some -
Head Start
or in this case,
Upward Bound.
Upward Bound is Federal and it gets down to the people, and it works. The program recruits kids whose parents don't make much money and places them on a college campus for the summer. For them it is a new environment, a pla ce to start again, fresh, with everything provided, opportunity is without visible limits. All facilitities on campus are avallable, as well as an infinite amount of recreation space, in fact ideas and energy seem to be the only limitations. The beauty of the program is the people. Indians from the deserts of Arizona working and relaxing with Blacks from the ghettos of New York Chicanos from California and Whites from Utah. Race becomes 3. joke in the best sense of the word, being uptight isn't cool and respect for fellow students is common. Although many do have little clashe s once in a while, these clashes are few and far between. This program is built around the respect that the students of the program have for each other and all the people on the campus. Because we have to stay on campus along with the college students we must learn to live with many things that we ca nnot accept. The trivia that Is involved in living with others are like messy roomates and the ones who are exceptionally tidy.
Upward Bound students learn to cope with many problems that come up in dally life. They are also taught to help make the program work for them. They work at things like making the yearbook, newspaper, and the committees such as the Action Committee and the Recreation Committee . Theyhave classes for the regular high school students and the Bridge students go to regular college classes. The high school students go to classes like language development, math, and several electives that are ofter ed. The relationship of the student and the teacher are usually as friends and neighbors, but not like the classroom and superiority that the teacher often displays. The reason is that the teachers are often college students too. The Bridge students are registered the day that school begins. They take the classes that need to be taken like English, math and the class required by the college for the degree which they wish to earn. In the dorm life of a Bridge student, they often end up with a bounder and change to one of the other students that are Bridge. This Is because they usually have the same study hours as the other. Bounder students are the people who get the most re creatio n because they usually skip doing the homework assigned to them until they absolutely have to. Most of them do this in school anyway. These classes are not hard but they are designed to make you think and be very creative In your thoughts. Many students enjoy this type of situation because it makes them feel important in the classroom. These classroom experiences do have their drawbacks but they always get them Ironed out. Many opinions are expressed and talked ove r . You would be very surpnsed to find out how much young people ar e concerned about their world today. They think about the major problems of today and often the many minor trivia in today• s society. They ar e really conce rned and have many feelings about everything. Joy Andrews Richard Shafer

and by -play of his puppets that he enchants the wl strut gl rl. Bob Tidwell takes the r ole of the puppeteer. The book and lyri cs of "Carnival" were written by Michael Steward, the lyrist or "Bye, Bye Birdie." Carnival Is based on the popular movie ol 1954 called "Lill," which starred Leslie Caron and was fam ous for its theme song, "HI -Lili, Hi-Lo." An entirely new musi cal score was provided for "Carnival" by Bob Merrill, comPose r or two previous long - run successes , "New Girl In Town" and "Tak e Me Along," and such notable song hits as "If I Knew You Were Coming l'd've Baked A Cake," and "How Mu ch is That Doggle in the Window?'' Among Merrill's me l odies for "Carnival" is the liltlng theme song, "Love Makes the WorldGo Round" with musical magi c that makes it as memorable as ''Hi -
