Dr. Jackson—aided by his wife, Dana presently teaches a 15-week exploratory course in alternatives, for which eight students (who come from colleges all around the country! pay $462.50 in tuition. Students read papers and books, attend morning discussions, and work on individual projects. (Two girls are reconstructing a nearby Indian house, two more pupils are designing and building a solar water heater, and another is constructing a dwelling made of newspaper, wire, and poured concrete.)
Dr. Jackson says that he intends from time to time—to have outside lecturers come and speak to his students. He has already arranged for Dr. E.F. Schumacher—world-famous author of Small Is Beautiful and subject of the Plowboy Interview in MOTHER NO. 42—to visit the Institute in March.
"To put it simply," Dr. Jackson state, "our experiment—our 'course"—is an attempt to develop, and live by, a wholistic philosophy . . . one that enables us to live in harmony with nature. To this end, we're ready to try anything."
Anyone 18 years of age or older may apply for enrollment at The Land Institute. The dace to write: Wes Jackson, c/o The Land, Rt. 3, Salina, Kan. 67401.
