Experiment to Merge with Free University

The Experiment, Stanford's one-year old, student-run experimental college, and The Free University of Palo Alto have amalgamated this summer and will conduct a combined summer quarter registration the remainder of this week.

Offering prospective members 55 seminars, ranging in content from Bird watching and Astrology to the Theory and Practice of Revolutionary Socialism and Non-cooperation With the Draft Experiment-FUPA registration tables will be located in front of Tresidder Union Tuesday–Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., at Kepler's Bookstore, Tuesday–Saturday, 7 p.m.-10 p.m., and at Lytton Plaza, Tuesday–Saturday, 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.

The week will culminate with a Registration Be-In and Mary Poppins Umbrella Festival on Sunday, July 2, starting at 1 p.m. at El Camino Park (opposite the Stanford Shopping Center). The registration fee for summer quarter is $10, which entitles the member to attend as many seminars and workshops as he or she wishes and to vote on all policy decisions affecting the Experiment-FUPA community.

The Experiment and The Free University have merged, according to Experiment coordinator Barry Greenberg, because both groups share a common vision of radical community, a community in which individuals can honestly and fearlessly explore themselves, their society, and the relationship between the two. We propose nothing less than the creation of a cogent and comprehensive alternative to the indoctrination and emasculation which is euphemistically known as American higher education.
