Show SUSC offers Zion Park Seminars Sessions are rapidly being filled for a series of nine Zion Park Field Seminars being offered this summer as a cooperative venture by the Zion Natural History Association, Southern Utah State College, and Zion National Park. Each week-long course--in areas of botany, zoology, communications, art and geology-has been designed to use the panoramic southern Utah landscape to test advantage as a combined com-bined vacation-educational experience. Eight of the seminars will be held at Zion Park; a tetany course will be offered at Cedar Breaks National Monument. "We are encouraging Utah residents to enroll now. Each class will be strictly limited to 20 participants. Brochures about the sum mer program have been sent throughout the nation and qtrtries are coming in rapidly,'1 McRay Cloward, Dean of the SUSC School of Continuing Education- said. "Facilities for tns program will be provided by the Parks Service, financial assistance through the Zion Natural History Association, and administrative details through SUSC. All course instructors are members of the SUSC faculty," Cloward said. The Zion Park Field Seminar is not part of the regular SUSC Summer School program, Cloward notes. Applications for each course should be made through the SUSC School of Continuing Education. Each session is available for three hours college credit or as a non-credit course. "Sessions will be held at various times throughout the summer so that applicants can enroll in all nine seminars if they desire," Cloward said. Each applicant will be responsible for his or her own food and lodging. Full facilities are available at Zion Park; some camp grounds are available at Cedar Breaks with full facilities located 23 miles to the west in Cedar City.
