Courses are offered on Internet use, word processing, spreadsheet and data base. Courses will also continue to be offered for those who simply want to broaden their knowledge. Next fall, Jewish scholar and rabbi Mark Levy will teach a course on Judaism on Tuesday evenings. Levy's visit will be paid for through an award received by Paul Simon which he in turn donated to Dana. Next spring, a scholar from the Neihardt Center in Bancroft will be available to teach courses.

The long - time class competition at Blair High School will be completed after all. Meetings between students and administration resulted in the rescheduling of the Wilson Cup for Wednesday before school. The Wilson Cup began about 10 years ago. About half of the events are completed before or after school, according to Lona Pinkall, Student Senate advisor. The remainder take place during the last hour of school on a designated day.
