OLI is teaching students in-terested- in learning a relatively new sport in the U.S. orienteering. In Europe, orienteering is the largest participant sport, averag-ing 20,000 people per event. It in-volves the ability to use a map and compass to find one's way safely and quickly through the woods. Paul Erickson, director of stu-dent activities at Concordia, is the leader for OLI programs. Erickson is an experienced in-structor in each of the activities, as well as having led the record-breaking 1980 Minnesota Ski Ex-pedition Across Greenland. Other instructors include well-trained, highly qualified faculty, staff and alumni of Concordia. One of the more unique OLI programs is Sports for Health, a week-long program involving visually impaired and physically disabled persons along with able-bodied participants. The minimum age for this program is 16. There is no maximum age. The OLI programs are open to junior and senior high high school students who want to be physical-ly and mentally challenged. The summer series began July 26 and ran through Sept. 5. These sum-mer sessions were for junior and senior high students but the fall, winter and spring sessions are geared for the college students. An orienteering program at Concordia Language Camps is planned for Nov. 20—22. Fifteen people from Concordia are going with Kris Bjerkness, a senior at Concordia, heading it.

The Chicago Urban Studies participants for the second semester of the 1981—82 college year have been selected. Dr. David Schadt, Urban Studies Coor-dinator, announced that the five students who have been selected are: Linda R. Jorgensen, Kristine Martin, Jane McLeod, Linda Tan and Rikka Trangsrud. A max-imum of five students are selected each semester. The finalists include one senior and four juniors. Linda Tan from Malaysia, whose parents presently reside in Taiwan was the sole senior. She is a Business Ad-ministration major. Linda Jorgensen, a junior from Bismark, North Dakota, has Psychology and Business Educa-tion majors. Kristine Martin who will be another junior in Chicago has majors in Religion and Spanish. She is a world resident whose parents presently live in Kenya, East Africa. Jane is from Yankton, South Dakota. She is a junior with Business Ad-ministration and Communications majors. Rikka Transrud, a junior Psychology major, is from Kin-dred, North Dakota. The Urban Studies Program in Chicago is a four credit semester-long involvement in what is called experiential education. The city, rather than textbooks and library resources, provides the grist for imaginative musing and analytical reflection. A highly qualified Ur-ban Studies faculty provides ac-cess to urban resources and gives guidance enabling the students to make the most out of their four month experience. According to Dr. Schadt, ap-plication for the Urban Studies Fall Semester of 1982 will be ac-cepted starting in January.
