Of the $3.50, $3 will be refunded to students who attend three-fourths of the scheduled classes. Judy Putty, chairman of the Free University Committee, said the most popular classes in the past have been bartending and dancing. She said there would be four.sections of both offered this semester, allowing 200 students to take bartending and 180 to take dancing. Putty said some courses are simi lar to required Texas A&M courses. The Free University course on human sexuality is similar to Sociol ogy 315, she said. Putty also said the human sexual ity class is a team-taught course coordinated by Hubert Beck, pastor of the University Lutheran Chapel. Although similar, the course is “not the same caliber as Sociology 315,” Putty said. “The films and discus sions will be different and less frank. Basic flower arranging, another popular course, is similar to Hor ticulture 203, Putty said. It teaches students to make corsages and flower arrangements. “The materials fee for this class is higher than others, but the student receives $40 worth of flowers. Putty said. “You learn a lot, and it s fun. Putty said the Free University Committee finds teachers for the IIBSON’SI UNT CENTER courses by sending memos to profes sors, students and MSC committees. “Sometimes we call businesses, Putty said. “For example, Tom No lan, tile owner ot TJ s, will teach two sections of bartending classes, while Phil Chandler, the manager of the Sports Club, will teach the other two.” Putty said the teachers are not guaranteed pay, but “we make an agreement with them that 85 per cent of the money collected from students who are ineligible to re ceive their refund goes to the teacher, and the Free University gets the rest. Most of the classes will be held in Rudder Tower and the MSC, Putty said. Some exceptions are the basic- automotive repair class, which meets at the loading dock of the MSC; a bicycle repair class, which meets in the bike club room; and a library techniques workshop class, which meets in the library. Brochures with information about materials, fees, and specific- schedules can be found on the first floor of the MSC.
