Dilwyn Rogers, biology pro-fessor, will be taking students on an ecological safari in Kenya. Rogers, who has led the course nine times, said, "Kenya is a beautiful country. I can't think of anyplace else where you can see such diversity." After stops in Amsterdam and Nairobi, Rogers and the students will spend three weeks on a cam-ping safari observing animals in their natural habitats. Students will study the effects of Kenya's rapidly increasing human population on the animal habitats. Rogers said Kenya's problems are similar to those of many developing countries. Although the course satisfies a major requirement in biology, Rogers emphasized that "it's not really just a biology course; it's ecology in the broadest sense. It has political and economic aspects." Rogers said the course could be used as an independent study project in political science, economics, anthropology, sociology, or geography. The course will not be offered in 1986. Religion professor Donald Sneen will be teaching a course entitled "Piety and Politics in the Middle East." Highlights of the trip will include visits to the cities of Petra, Jerusalem, Bethlehem, and Nazareth. Sneen, who lived in Israel for four months in 1983, said the course has cultural, historical, and religious benefits: "The Middle East is the land from which the Bible came. It is holy to Jews, Moslems, and Chris-tians. Students will see Orthodox Jews at the Western Wall, the Moslem call to prayer, and Christian sites such as the Mount of Olives and the Church of the Holy Sepulchure." Sneen said the course also has political benefits. Students will meet with both Jews and Arabs to hear each side of the conflict. Students will also visit the Knesset, the Israeli parliament. During free time, students will be able to swim in the Dead Sea, visit museums, and shop in the marketplaces. Business professor Elliot Thoreson is leading a course en-titled "Contemporary European Business." The trip includes stops in England, France, Holland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway. The purpose of the trip is to in-troduce students to European in-dustries which have recently at-tempted to improve the quality of life at the workplace. Students will tour various plants and meet with chief executive officers. Students will also visit the Work Research Institute in Oslo and the Swedish Employer's Con-federation in Stockholm. Thoreson hopes students will compare the European model of business organization with the typical American model and "come to the realization that there are a variety of ways to develop an organization. It is im-portant to immerse students into a different culture so that they learn not to discriminate against people who have different ideas." 'During free time, students will be able to sight see on their own. Thoreson said that the trip would be a worthwhile ex-perience for people interested in any of the social sciences. Reuben -Peterson, a foreign language professor, will be teaching a course on the language and culture of Norway. The trip will include stays- in Oslo, Bergen, Haugesund, and Stavanger. According to Peter-son, the train trip from Oslo to Bergen is a "beautiful" journey through fjords and glaciers. The course will combine language study with cultural visits to museums, parks, and theaters. No previous knowledge of the Norwegian language is re-quired. Peterson said the purpose of the course is "to give students a chance to see another country and to see how others live." He wants students to discover that "Norway is not an old country. It is alive and prospering." He also emphasized that Norway's winter weather is "quite plea-sant." Students of Scandanavian des-cent will have opportunities to visit relatives during free time.
