H to Dr. Mark Feldhausen
Chairman difficult? Well, according

his students “have to have a
desire to learn and a willingness
to work.”
In Honors Seminar, all of the
social sciences, history,
economics, psychology, political
science, anthropology, and a lit­
tle philosophy, are used to look
Kirk Hawkins Neal Hoesing at general concepts, such as
Social Studies, assistant Social Studies foreign policy, and to learn how
to apply this knowledge in the
boys basketball
real world.
During third quarter, this class
studied “comparative political
systems,” concentrating on
classical socialism and how it
compares to and differs from
communism. During fourth
quarter they played a modified
game of Risk. A few rules were
-changed, a second deck of
Dale Kinney Larry Koenig cards added, along with terms
Social Studies, head Social Studies, assistant such as assassination, coup,
uolleyball, head frosh class foreign aid and internal security
girls tennis to “make it more like real life,”
said player Mike Jaeger. The
key to this Risk game was not
for the players to conquer, but to
help their allies and to “maintain
and, if possible, expand their in­
fluence in the world,” said
Feldhausen.
' / f “It also widens one’s aware­
i ness of extenuating circumstan­

ces in foreign policy,” said
Neal McDonald Curt Shockey Jaeger. “You can’t be nearly as
Social Studies Social Studies, head careless” as in the old Risk. “It’s
baseball coach
not all on the board.” For exam­
ple, say you are conquering
South America. “They could
throw down a foreign aid card
and you’ve got five other armies
to fight.”
There was no retreat in the
game of Risk. You had to fight
V % S
to the finish.
