To begin with, the bill, tra\r\nla, x is enclosed. Otherwise:\r\n\r\nstrange thing happened while I was sitting in the caf\r\nyesterday morning. Tom Blumenthal (who has grown up a lot,\r\nand is a much more likeable guy) came up to me:\r\n\r\n     xx you took Dr. Garn's course a couple of years ago?\r\n     yes.\r\n     and you got an A in it?\r\n     yes.\r\n     how would you like to be the assistant for it this quarter?\r\n     gaaaaaa......\r\n\r\nSo I'm Dr. Garn's assistant, marking papers and doing the\r\nreading for Origin and Dispersion of Man--which is still the\r\nbest academic course I've had at antioch. officially working\r\n10 hours a week, getting paid some small sum, and really\r\nworking more than that. but only taking 13 credits. and\r\nsince I put in nearer to 20 hours on Ampac last fall and was\r\ntaking 17 credits, I think I'll still have time on my hands.\r\nBut it's a great honor to be asked, 'specially since I'm out\r\nof the field, and ought to be fun.\r\n\r\ncourses I'm taking are: arts and crafts for children (4\r\ncredits; an easy and thoroughly delightful play-course,\r\ndoing kiddies art projects.), music for children (3 credits;\r\ndon't know a thing about it), methods in teaching phys ed\r\n(ditto), and the second half of my split philosophy course.\r\nwhich will be taught by a really drippy guy, who I can't\r\nstand, and who didn't get his tenure renewed (after 8 years\r\nhere) so this is his last quarter and he just isnt even\r\ngoing to care enough to try. faugh. but the second half is\r\nrequired if you took the first.\r\n\r\nalso will be working very hard at Ampac, as the new chairman\r\nneeds to have his wonderful, exciting ideas lubricated into\r\ngood working order. lots of exciting contemporary\r\nnon-professional films, looks like a very stimulating and x\r\nbroadening experience.\r\n\r\nso far still rooming withxx Sally in this incredible tiny\r\ncramped room, in the upper bunk, which is terribly obnoxious\r\nafter having had the damn room as a single before.\r\n\r\nhave an appointment with eyedoctor tomoro morning, will let\r\nyou know what he says.\r\n\r\nright now, have to go up to the trunk room and dig out my\r\nold books and other stored junk, and down to the postoffice\r\nto pick up some things I sent myslef from Keams, and off to\r\nsee some more people and get some details straightened\r\nout......like whether I can get co-op credit for course\r\nassisting.....?\r\n\r\nsee you soon\r\n     love\r\n          [handwritten: Marcia]\r\n<\/pre>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Postmark: Mar 31, 1965, Yellow Springs, Ohio.
