It has been six years since it was last offered Operating on a request basis, reference librarians go to scheduled English 2 classes to teach for 30 to SO minutes on the subject of available term paper resource materials. The service is not a re-hash of material offered to students in Library Science I. Librarians teach only areas requested by teachers. Each session is different INFORMATION PROVIDED Teachers inform the reference department of their needs for a specific class. Reference staff come armed with lists of resource materials which include articles, handbooks, dictionaries, guides and criticisms. The lists are compiled to meet requiremtns on assigned subject areas. Proper use of card files, catalogs and all resource materials is shown to classes by use of visual aid cards 18 of 70 English 2 classes have requested the service thus far, “Not all classes will be visited,” said Mrs. Marilyn Stephenson, reference librarian who is coordinating the service, “only teachers who feel they need the service will ask us to come.” Students need the service in some cases due to the lag period between the time they take Library Science I and the time they enrollin English 2. Students normally take Library Science | when they are enrolled in English | and don’t actually start to write term papers until they are enrolled in English 2. Therefore some specific review is necessary NOTICES DIFFERENCE Chief Reference Librarian, Mrs. Elizabeth Williams says that she has noted a marked difference since the reinstatement of the service. “I’ve noticed that fewer people are walking around totally lost,” she commented. “Because students are better informed it gives us more time to assist those who need individual help,” she concluded Stephenson, who has been responsible for the service this year, stated that students and teachers have been very receptive to librarians during teaching sessions. She has made the arrangements for the teaching sessions and has made assignments for other librarians HEAVY LOAD Commenting on the work load Stephenson said, “The service will be a continuous activity This quarter has been especially busy because freshman English courses follow a sequence, with more classes of English 2 during winter quarter.” In further comments Stephenson said that many different kinds of questions were asked of librarians during sessions. “Most questions she said, “are directly related to the subject of source materials ani term papers. questions cover the overall area of research One student even asked how to go about getting a library card.” New political group Women’s caucus formed in county Women all over the country have become involved in politics and Pitt County women are no exception A Pitt County Women’s Caucus has been established here in conjunction with The North Carolina Women’s Political Caucus Janice Hardison of the English Department at ECU has been working with area and state women in initiating the movement locally. She was a member of the original steering committee for the state caucus. She is also serving presently as temporary chairman for the local caucus The Women’s Caucus is a nationwide politically oriented movement by women. Its members are interested in solidifying political strength in order to achieve some specified goals. The organization is less than one year old Some primary objectives of the organization are: to discuss and define issues affecting women, to see that women have a voice in high level decision making, and to encourage women to run for public office Hardison stated the immediate purpose for forming a caucus in Pitt County as simply to gather a representative delegation from the county to attend the state caucus. It will be held in Durham on Jan. 29. The Martin County native stated that the local caucus includes a good cross section of women. There are about 20 local women interested in the project. Among them are housewives, professionals, those who are both, and “even two grandmothers” The Women’s Caucus is not directly affiliated with any other women’s rights groups. It has however received endorsement and backing from almost all the major organizations involved in that movement. The caucus does share some common goals with these organizations Hardison when comparing the caucus with the Women’s Liberation brought out some basic differences. “The Women’s Liberation is searching for self-identity but we already know for individuals within commuting distance ot Greenville to complete at least two years of college credit or to take Occasional courses if they desire. All interested persons, including students and faculty of ECU, are eligible tor the program if they meet the entrance requirements “LT call the University College the undergraduate evening program for the part time adult students in the area,” said Dr Douglas Strickland, director of the program “since the average age of our students is 29+. It is designed mainly for the area adults who want to further their general educa‘ion because specialization with any subject is on a very limited basis A student in the program can complete, at night, two years of undergraduate credit in approximately 24 months as compared with the average day program student that completes this in 18 months. Only one session of summe school is offered in the University College program Entrance requirements for the program are quite similar to those of the regular FECL who we are. We are not interested in personal advancement or social acceptance. We put emphasis on political and professional acceptance.” Qualifications for membership in the caucus are very simple according to the local chairman She said * Hardison has many personal reasons for being involved in The Women’s Caucus. She feels that she has been dealt with in an unfair | you have to do is be a woman manner within her own political party. “With all the time and effort I have devoted to the Democratic Party if | were a male I could be King .”’she remarked She campaigned for John Kennedy in 1960 and attended the convention in Los Angeles where Kennedy won the Der cratic nomination for president. She could not vote at the convention because she was an alternate She was one of the only tive women delegates there. None of them were allowed to vote Hardison stated that new Democratic Party rules since the Chicago convention of 1968 shed new light on determining the makeup of delegations. Now the delegation must reflect the voters of the region. She also said “since 52% of the registered voters in North Carolina are women “we believe we should be entitled to half the vote in the delegation ” The formation of a Pitt County Women’s Caucus was deliberately kept quiet at first Hardison said this was done because “we would be subject to extreme ridicule” and “we wanted to be organized enough to withstand it She feels very justified in her efforts in the field of women’s rights. She listed specific examples in the state and county which she termed as unfair treatment to females “A local example recently occuring is typical’? she stated. The Pitt County Commissioners just formed a 1S-member planning board with no female members Another example occurred while she was attending a meeting as a member of the Democratic Party Executive Committee.

The average commuter travels only 17 miles one-way “One problem in the program is that we not offer any degrees,” said Strickland nut 90% of our students are the traditional two year Associate of A s degree. but does assist. students in entering the regular day program at ECU or other colleges to complete the degree requ lents n take a day program course. provided space is available.

The concept of in loco parentis on our campuses has been dead for some time however, the matter of permissiveness in class attendance goes beyond that to the very integrity of the academic process As with personal slovenliness lifference to class attendance is evidence of the anti-intellectualism on our campuses, for it shows a repudiation of the personal discipline and perseverance which are essential to excellence in any pursuit, including the world of learning and scholar ship MAY EXPIRE The next step for college faculties may be to excuse themselves from the need for class attendance , and then the American university may expire by simply adjourning sine die The most “in” thing at present on our campuses is the pressure for “‘pass-faii” systems This is the system that allows no distinction to be made between the “A” and “D” student--the student either passes or fails It is a crude system in that it minimizes the possibilities of drawing distinctions among students on the basis of demonstrated. talent and effort To its fetish for leveling, at its worst. The any it is educational egalitarianism, and proponents ot ass-fail” contend that it will allow students to “experiment” with courses without the “fear” and “pressure” of “grades.” Other reflective and serious observers of the campus scene see it otherwise. As Professor George Douglas of the University of Hlinois has suceinetly stated it in The Intercollegiate Review. “A pass-fail course is simply one that the sudent need put in only the smallest ount of effort to get by, however nobly the matter may be looked at in theory LIGHTEN LOADS “The truth is that students look on the pass-fail course (quite practically) not as a way of broadening intellectual horizons, but as a way of lightening the work load “Pass-tail”” denies an indispensable ingredient to quality education, namely, the pursuit of academic excellence. As with slovenliness, and classroom permissiveness, the pressure for ass-fail” is evidence of the continuing intellectual deterioration on the American campus Exasperation over this deterioration has been reflected in educators as dissimilar as Robert M Hutchins and Russell Kirk, both having declared we might grant everyone a bachelor’s degree and be done with it. Before attempting reform of restoration on the campus it must be understood that the task is formidable. The process of decay has been going on { or someume. The illustrations discussed above are merely current manifestation. At the risk of sounding alarmist. it must be faced that this long-term decay is extensive, pervasive, and has al, crisis produced a severe, though not yet fz Fu her compounding the problem of reform, is that those best situated to implement the restoration of academic excellence are to a considerable extent the ones who have presided over the present decay. In sum, the base for reform in the American university is limited and fragile NOT ENOUGH Moreover, it will not be enough to merely prune here and restructure there. For example, on the current scene it is not enough to press for a civilized dress code, and responsible class attendance policies, or to resist the mania for “pass-fail.” As essential as these short-term tactical measures are, they do not go to the heart of the matter. They are merely reactions to surface symptons of a deeper malaise. The fundamental need is for a revitalized educational consciousness. (Although disturbing in many respects, Charles Reich's “The Greening of America’ is instructive on the importance of “consciousness” in bringing about significant change of any kind.) To state the need, is to underscore the extent of decay and to suggest the extreme difficulty of the task of reform The implanting of a “new” educational consciousness would basically entail the restoration of some “old” educational first principles. There has been a spate of writing in recent years prescribing how the intellectual integrity of the academy might be revitalized Some are serious and insightful, but many are thin and banal, reflecting a hurriedness to cash in on the “relevance” of the educational Let me make one thi We are de-escalati the war in Vietnam: ng pertectly clear ng 2 dilouals and Commentary debate. In any case, there temporary works on the subject equal to those of that brilhaatand lucid Englishman of the nineteenth century, John Henry Newman. Newman's works on the role of the university bear eloquent testimony that “there is nothing new under the sun.” All contemporary writings on the current crisis in) higher education are footnotes to Newman's monumental contributions. His neglect: by contemporary educators is mystifying and unfortunate SPELLS OUT Newman spells out the essential ingredients of an intellectual consciousness directed to the achievement of excellence in higher education This consciousness is composed of civility opened and reasoned discourse, disciplined scholarship, inspired teaching, and that abiding quest for “the permanent things Concerning the civility of an educated person, in his classic, “The Idea of a University,” Newman, wrote, “He knows when to speak and when to be silent. he is able to converse, he is able to listen; he can ask a question pertinently, and gain a lesson seasonable.”” On another occasion he described civility in this fashion, “It is well to be a gentleman, it is well to have a cultivated intellect, a delicate taste, a candid, equitable dispassionate mind, a noble and courteous bearing in the conduct of life--these are the connatural qualities of a large knowledge; they are the objects of a university.” Yet, Newman Knew that civility in itself was inadequate to sustain excellence at a university, for alone it can degenerate into the blandly genteel and sterile world of dilettantism, the ornamental, or to use a phrase Newman borrowed, “elegant imbecility In his construction of an intellectual consciousness, Newman adds to civility the idea of opened and reasoned discourse, and thereby unequivocally, he rejected the concept of the politicized university, In this connection he wrote, A university is a place of concourse...in which the intellect may safely range and speculate, sure to find its equal in) some antagonist activity, and its judge in the tribunal of truth, It ts a place where inquiry is pushed forward, and discoveries verified and perfected and rashness rendered innocuous, and error exposed, by the collision of mind with mind and knowledge with knowledge ADOS DISCIPLINE To civility and discourse, he adds discipline as essential to the pursuit of scholarship Newman warned against: those who believe “learning is to be without exertion, without attention, without toil. This forsooth is the wonder of the age.” He elaborated, “Discipline is imperative, if the mind is ..to discriminate substances from shadows.” As he summed it up, ‘The bodily eye, the organ for apprehending material objects, is provided by nature, the eye of the mind, of which the object is ith, is the work of discipline and habit.” Nor does Newman neglect’ excellence in teaching. He admonished, “An academical system without the personal influence of teachers upon pupils is an arctic winter: it will create an e-bound, petrified, cast-iron university, and nothing else.’ On another occasion, he instructed, “A university is an Alma Mater, knowing her children one by one not a foundry, or a mint, ora treadmill.” These the present age of Mass university with its burning problems of student anomie and alienation warnings are appropriate in the impersonal 2 EERIE PUNE
