PAGES THE TWIG OCTOBER 1, 1980 Applications accepted for study abroad Scandinavian Seminar is now accepting applications for its 1981-1982 academic year abroad in Denmark, Finland, Norway or Sweden. This unique learning ex perience is designed for college students, graduates and other adults who want to study in a Scandinavian country, becoming part of another culture and learning its language. After orientation and a 3- week intensive language course, often followed by a family stay, students are placed individually at Scandinavian folk schools or other specialized institutions, where they live and study with - Scandinavians of diverse backgrounds. The folk schools are small, residential educational communities intended mainly for young adults. Both historically and socially, these schools have played an important part in the development of the Scandinavian countries. Midway through the folk school year, all the Seminar students and staff meet in the mountains of Norway to discuss the year’s studies and experiences. Because the Scandinavian countries are small, open and accessible, the year provides an unusual opportunity for the student to explore his or her particular field of interest by doing an independent study project. On the basis of a detail written evaluation of their work, most college students receive full or partial academic credit for their year. The fee, covering tuition. room, board and all course- connected travels in Scan dinavia, is $5,400. Interest- free loans are granted on the basis of need, as are a few partial scholarships. For further information, please write to: Scandinavian Seminar, 100 East 85th Stret, New York, N.Y. 10028.

CAREERS UNLIMITED -NOVEMBER 5 FOR GOOD NEWS TEACHERS The supply and demand for teaches is in overall balance in 1980 as opposed to the early 1970’s. If the trend continues, surplus conditions will continue to diminish into the 80’s. A few facts to con sider: Regional Differences - a surplus of teachers in biology in some states while others report a considerable shor tage. Mathematics, however, is in short supply in all states. Birth Rate - a modest increase in live births from 1977 through 1979 is expected to absorb the surplus of elementary teachers through the 1980’s. Subject Differences — areas traditionally in surplus are showing shortages: English, art, elementary, social studies and health. (Continued on Page 7) guidelines.
