three coordinators have worked on the project
throughout this semester.
Result of Efforts
As a result of their efforts, 21 courses will be
offered in the free university next semester with
a possible broadening of the UFM in future semesters, depending on the amount of participation:
UFM will work entirely on a volunteer basis',
according to Swaninger, both on the partvOf. the
leaders and the students. Courses in the free university will be non-graded and tuition free, the
only prerequisite being curiosity and interest.
Anyone may register for UFM classes, and non-
university people will be encouraged to participate,
said Swaninger.
Seminar Form
Most classes will be conducted in a seminar
form with emphasis on interaction and communication between leaders.and.students.
.   Classes will meet once a week for approximately one hour.
Size will usually range from 10-15 students,
depending on the preference of the leader or
•leaders.
There are few rules in the UFM, with an opportunity for the leaders to conduct classes in the way
they feel that everyone involved will get as much
as possible out of the class.
Booklets of class and instructor listings may
be obtained in the Registrar's office Friday.
Registration will take place in the lobby of
Finch Fieldhouse during the registration period,
Feb. 3-5.
