Academics may reach new heights
THE DIRECTOR OF the Alumni office
at ECU goes over some computations of
contributions received from graduates of
the University.
By BRUCE PARRISH
Staff Writer
"Academic excellence" at ECU may reach
new heights in the near future due to Ml
alumni loyalty.
This 1 . aity finds its was to ECU'l Alumni
Association in the form of alumni financial aid
and alumni interest
Through the solicitation and concentration
of alumni contributions, the Alumni
Association strives to increase the "academic
excellence here at ECU This objective is
accomplished ptimarily through the
distribution of brochures, letters, the alumni
newspaper . The Impact, and the alumni
magazine ,The Reporter Recent!), the
association is trying to add more ol the
"personal touch" in their alumni relations,
according to Donald Y. Leggett. executive
secretary of the Alumni Association.
Presently, the overall plan ot alumni
communications is accomplished geographically
or through an address file. "The failure ol this
system according to Leggett. "is that in the
address file system we lose contact with the
alumni over the years due to changes ut
address " Direct mail accounts for the greatest
percentage ol the communications.
In order to alleviate this problem, a partial
conversion to computer usuage and the use of a
class agent system is now being phased into the
association's operations The computer system
will allow more time for other duties relating to
Alumni Affairs, according to Legget "The class
agent system will reach alumni from the lirst to
the last graduating class He also stated that
the alumni's relating to one anothei by class
possibly would increase the will to support
ECU financially and morally
In relation to special problems the
association might have. Leggett noted. "I don't
know of a problem our Alumni Association has
that other universities don't have Normal
costs are a common problem. A typical letter
campaign may cost $4U0 SOO in postage and
$800$ 1,500 in printing costs alone I he

College offers interesting curriculum
By SHERRY BUCHANAN
Staff Writer
If you've ever wanted to take a course just
for the knowledge you can gain from it. or the
extra credit, you have the opportunity in the
form of the University College
The University College, a branch of ECU'S
Continuing Education, provides an opportunity
Reference librarians attend
freshman English classes
A suspended service which helps English 2
teachers teach the use of resource materials to
write term papers has been revived by the
university library
The service which was cancelled due to lack
of staff began again after the holiday brea1; this
year. It has been six years since it was last
offered
Operating on a lequest basis, reference
librarians go to scheduled English 2 classes to
teach for 30 to 50 minutes on the subject of
available term paper resource materials The
service is not a rehash 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
theii needs for a specific class. Reference stall
come armed with lists of resource r-iaterials
which include articles, handbooks, dictionaries,
guides and criticisms. The lists are compiled to
meet requiiemtns on assigned subject areas
Proper use of card files, catalogs and all
resource materials is shown to classes by use of
visual aid cards.
1 8 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 reed 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 I when they are enrolled in English I
and don't actually start to write term papers
until they are enroi'ed 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 ar ! term papers. Some
questions cover the overall area of research
One student even asked how to go about
getting a library card
New political group
for individuals within commuting distance ot
Greenville to complete at least two years of
college credit or to take occasional courses it
they desire All interested persons, including
students and faculty of ECU, are eligible for the
program if they meet the enUance
requirements
"1 all the University College the
undergraduate evening program lor the part
time adult students in the area said Dr
Douglas Strickland, directoi 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 educaon because
specialization with any subject is on a very
limited basis
A student in the program can complete, at
?light, 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 summei
school is offered in the University College
program
Entrance requirements for the program are
quite similar to those of the regular ECL'
student A transfer student from another school
must have a "C" average and be eligible to
return to the previously attended school High
school graduates, who have never attended
college, are also accepted into the program
For high school graduates entering the
program, courses are offered to make up any
deficiencies they might have. Strickland said
All that is necessary for admittance is the high
school diploma.
Students who have previously flunked out of
any institute are not eligible for the program,
although students who have been out of school
for four vears or more or who do not have a
"C" average on previous college work may
submit thetr application to the lnnersity
Board of Admissions for consideration
Since the beginning of the Unversity College
in 1964. enrollment has increased each year. In
the fall of 1969, 109 students enrolled, in fall
of 1970. 149 students enrolled, and in fall of
1971. 181 students enrolled, even though some
students have to commute as far as 60-70 miles,
one-way, to school The average commuter
travels only 1 7 miles one-way
"One problem in the program is that we do
not otfer any degrees said Strickland,
"especially since about 40; of out students are
degiee-oriented
The program does not offei the traditional
two year Associate ot Arts degree, but does
assist students in entering the regulai day
program at ECU or other colleges to complete
the degree requirements
A University College student can take a day
program course, provided spate is available But
of a poll taken on 106 L'niversitv College
students, only 34 could attend day classes,
while 69 said they were strictlv night-time
students
The program offers an average often courses
a quarter The average student takes about one
and a half courses, or six quarter hours per
term, at a cost of $12 per quarter hour for Nf.
residents, and $42 pet hour for non-residents
Students arc given library, ca'eteiia. supply

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 alreadv know
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 "All you have to do rs be a woman "
Hardison has many personal reasons for
being involved in The Women's Caucus She
feels that she has been dealt with in an unfair
manner within her own political party "With
all the time and effort I have devoted to the
Democratic Party if I were a male 1 could be
King . she remarked
She campaigned for John Kennedy in I960
and attended the convention in Los Angeles
where Kennedy won the Democratic
nomination for president. She could not vote at
the convention because she was an alternate
She was one of the only tue 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 hall 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 ve-y 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 15-membei
planning board with no lemale members
Another example occurred while she was
attending a meeting as a member of the
Democratic Parts I xecutive Committee The
current committee chairman resgned Instead
ol choosing the "next logical person in line, the
vice chairman. the governor chose a
non-committee member to be the new
chairman Hardison believes that the
vice-chairman was not chosen because she was a
woman
Hardison says that the only govemoi ol this
state to show women any true equality wjs
Terry Sanford. She stated Governors Moore and
Scott "neglected to use women powei in the
parly " There are no women in "Bob Scott's
administration al any high level positions
The fact that there are no women
superintendents in public education in the state
is another concern of the Women'siucui
Hardison stated that there ate fewei women
in The I nited States Congress and in stale
legislatures across the country now than 10
years ago She said. "We simply don't trust
government to enact legislation that will
guarantee us equal privileges under law
Hardison believes that because she is a
woman she is limited to a greater degree than
men both professionally and politically by
unfair restrictions In contrast to the aspect of
men bernj the superior sex she exclaimed. "I'm
not reads to believe that my experience doesn't
count for something when someone makes a
decision affecting my life
Hardison is anticipating a good showing from

If anyone is interested in the
International Studies Program,
contact Dr. King in room A242
of the Social Science Building.
There also exists a language
barrier Students have the
opportunity to break down
these barriers. "By engaging in
international studies. the
student is challanged
intellectually with a total
learning experience King
said He also said "Overseas
studies satisfies a student
culturally and allows for better
world relations
King ended his part of the
lecture by stating. "I believe
young people ol this age are
alert to the problems of the
world and are sensitive to other
people "
Winn began his part ot the
lecture by defining the
peripatetic student as "one
who travels "
He then announced that
there will be an international
studies program this summer in
Mexico.

SMSC drops plan
S P R I NG F 11 L D . Mo
(CPS)-Citing lack of funds, the
Southern Missouri State
College administration has
scrapped a plan to install a
closed-circuit TV surveillance
system on that campus.
"In view of the fact the
federal matching funds are less
than the specified hO percent
of the total purchase price, we
are dropping the project said
SMSC President Duane Meyer.
The SMSC Boaid of Regents
had authorized the purchase
and installation of the camera
equipment- in December,
contingent upon the granting
ol matching federal funds to
cover (SO percent of the
S40,O7 purchase price.
However. Region II of the
Law Enforcement Assistance
Yes votes (26) out of a total
enrollment of ?.6000 students,
which means that less than
2 5r of the student bodv
voted.
"We've had a great deal of
security problems on campus
said SMSi. president Duane
Meyer. "We've had one rape
and a number of attempted
rapes
When asked it the
perpetrators of these campus
crimes are townspeople or
students. Meyer replied, 'I
really don't have any comment
on that. We have people who
have taken he detector tests
but we don't have any
convictions so I really can't say
anything right now
Although i he security-
system initially called for only
Council, the funding agency, two cameras to be installed
"near the parking areas of the
college there appears to be
other underlying hazards which
inevitably face such a video
surveillance system.
Dr. Meyer pretty well
summed up these hazards when
he stated that student
opposition resulted because
students "were afraid ii would
grow to be a political control
like in Orwell's 1484
would only go with a
maximum of S20O5
Prior to the Regents'
appioval of the system the
New Democratic Coalition
staged a rally in opposition to
the cameras with both students
and faculty taking part.
The Student Government
Association conducted an
opinion poll and gathered 1650

"We must be alert to
changing conditions in Latin
America that would change our
security relations Our policy
needs support from the
American people
A i mislead I Selden. Jr
deputy assistant secretary of
defense for security affairs,
spoke here Friday on the
security relationships of the
Western Hemisphere His talk
was part ol the University
Latin American Symposium
held each vear at ECU.
Selden described the enrlv
military policy of the Westen
Hemisphere as "basicall)
abiding h the Monroe
Doctrine During World War
II the Latin American
countries were asked to join
the Allies. The United Stales
then increased then mill tar)
support of Latin America
Because of the (old Wat and
the advancement of military
technology (halhstK Systems)
there became a need for
hemispherical defense
Appropriate military defense
was needed. Because of
possible threats to Latin
America and the Western
Hemisphere, security interests
arose in Latin America.
Military forces in Latin
America needed to be
improved. There was concern
over the bunching of missiles
(land or walei) from Latin
America and the continued
access to the Panama Canal and
Caribbean region

Berrigan trial to begin
HARRISBl'RG Pa.
( APl-The judge at the
conspiracy trial of the Rev.
Philip Bemgan and six othet
antiwai activists has threatened
to bar newsmen from the jury
selection process and impose
secrecy on the proceedings.
"I'm not telling the news
media what to do U.S.
District Court Judge R Dixon
Herman said Monday as the
jury selection began
He urged, however, that "all
names, questions and lesponses
be kept secret until the jury is
sworn, and then you can
publish it whenever you see
fit
"I think it is in the province
of the court, if you violate the
request, to continue the voir
dire in camera" questioning
prospective jurors secretly in
chambers.
Herman said early
publication could prejudice his
efforts to obtain an unbiased,
unharrasscd jury.
The high-ceihnged, modern
courtroom seats 80 spectators.
Three newsmen now arc
permitted to covet the jury
select ion proceedings
representatives of the
Associated Press. United Press
International and the
llarrisburg Patriot-News.
After the first day the
original panel of 175 was
trimmed to 82. with .18 of
those excused, claiming they
had formed prejudicial
opinions and could not render
an impartial (udgitient.
Berrigan and the other
defendants are accused of
plotting to kidnap presidential
adviser Henry Kissinger, bomb
heat tunnels under certain
Washington. DC. buildings,
smuggle contraband in and out
of the federal prison, and raid
draft board offices in various
cities around the nation.
A group of 46 men and
women, now seated in the
courtroom, answer more
general questions from the
judge today before individual
examination by lawyers begins.
The 48-year old Berrigan. a
self-styled revolutionary priest,
told a newsman during a
courtroom lull, before federal
marshalls stopped him from
talking, that there was indeed a
discussion among some of the
a possible
delendanls
kidnapping
"There was no planning he
insisted, however. Then he
added:
"Part of any discussion, if it
is to be real, is to investigate
the feasibility of it" and
Berrigan indicated that
members of his peace
movement apparatus had done
that. "Millions of people have
these kinds of ideas at some
time or another Berrigan said
in the first interview he has
given in nearly two years. "It
doesn't mean they would act
or want to act, but why
shouldn't they think about it
and maybe do something about
it and even investigate It?"
Asked whether he believed
he would win the case.
Berrigan replied: "It's not a
priority of ours to win
acquittal, but to conduct a
political trial and get the issue
before the American people
"The present policy with
I a t in America 0VCI l In-
security of the Western
Hemisphere is one which tries
to establish a mat ure
partnership relation with the
United States and the I atin
American countries states
Selden "This is supported by
President Nixon's doctrine of
alliance wherever possible' "
Because of this policy, the
United States has started joint
military exercises with some
countries of Latin America
Co-operative efforts between
Latin America and the United
Slates have been started by the
establishment of the U.S.
South Commission which
oversees United States land
interests in Latin America,
promotes education and offers
guidance.
"Some say the latin
American programs of the
United States discourage
internal security claimed
Selden. "We must proceed with
our help but these nations
should have stability before we
give it to them He disagrees
with the claims of some that
United States aid lo Latin
America aids dictators and
encourages militarism. "This
aid helps build the Latin
American countries internallv
Our military aid has given
maximum construct ive
influences
Selden states the most
important security and foreign
policy problems are:
1. "The Latin American
nations must improve their
economics. They must offer
more service to their people
2. The Latin American
nations must maintain internal
security
"Communism has increased
in Latin America says Selden.
'It has increased both its
economic and diplomatic
missions. Diplomats have been
sent to Latin American
countries to break down the
distrust of communism. The
objective of communism in
Latin America is to lessen the
influence of the United States.
This is a challenge to our
policies towards Latin
America, a goal to better
policies
Selden believes that Soviet
influence in the Western
Hemisphere will expand.
"There is a growth of
communism in the Western
Hemisphere. This causes a
danger of lessening our
influence in the Latin American
countries. We must act if
necessary and assert our
position. Our position now is
not optimistic or too gloomy
There is less guerrilla activity in
Latin America. The Latin
American governments have
survived. Security given by the
United States is designed to
strengthen these governments
He says the Panama Isthmus
treaty . made in 1903. needs to
be revised. "President Nixon
wants to revise our relations
with Panama, to establish a
treaty of common interest that
will leave our commercial and
defensive needs intact
Selden. who is a member of
the Organization of American
States (OAS) says this
organization is against the
.ifsjresion of American states
He claims. "If there is an
attack against one state, that
state should be supported by
all other members of the OAS
We should fill international
obligations according to
international law
He holds that Cuba must be
held under close scrutiny
'Castro still imposes a threat
to the Western Hemisphere.
Cuba should be isolated
because of Castro's support of
revolutionary movements in
, Latin America and his violation
of treaties. The OAS tends to
relax sanctions to Cuba. The
United States has the same
basic policy except it doesn't
relax the sanctions " Selden
claims. "Cuba has shown open

basketball coach Tom Quinn
takes his forcei to the road
here Saturday foi the start of a
trip which should do much to
determine his team s chances in
ilie S( race.
The Pirates lake on a VMI
squad they were only able to
heal h live points in Minges
Coliseum.
The Keydets. Ml going
into this week's action, were
looking lor their first
conference win in six games
when they traveled to William
and Mary Tuesday.
Coached bv Mike Schulcr.
the Keydets are always tough
on their home floor. Prior to
giving away last week's contest
to I urman. the Keydets tripled
their win total of the previous
season, when they only won
one of 26 games.
Before returning home Feb
12 against The Citadel, the
Pirates will battle at Davidson
(Feb. I). Furman (Feb. 5) and
Richmond (Feb 9).
ECU GRAPPLER Bruce Hall looks for
pinning combination in action earlier
this season. Hall, one of four Pirates to
score against Appalachian last week as he
Dump Roanoke
(Photo ov Ross Minn)
drew in his match, will probably see
action tonight as the Pirates host Elon
College at 8 p.m.
The Pirates already claim
victories over the Wildcats and
Paladins, two teams they were
deadlocked with for the league
lead prior to this week's games
This may add fire to the hosts,
who have gotten off to rough
starts before getting hot.
Nevertheless, the Pirates are
in the midst of their hottest
stretch of the season, a three
game win string which has
brought their record to 7-8
overall and 5-2 in the league
Jerome Owens has been
particularly impressive, scoring
at least 21 points in each of the
last three games. He now leads
the club in scoring with a 14.5
average over I 5 games
AI Faber. who leads the
team in rebounding with 10.3
recoveries per contest, is
second in scoring with 14.3
points, followed by Jim
Fairley. 12.1; and Farl Quash.
10.0
Owens is also the most
accurate shooter among the
regulars as he claims a 49.3 per
cent field goal mark.
The Pirates have averaged
better than 80 points a game
over the past four games (since
the last time they met VMI)
and. should they continue such
a pace, they may return to
Minges Coliseum in good shape
for the stretch run.
Lose eighth
Another poor performance
by the freshman basketball
team led to their eighth defeat
in as many games this season
Monday night.
Only the play of the team's
leading scorer, Fred Stone, and
Tom Marsh kept the yearlings
in contention in the 103-70
loss to Mount Olive.
Stone, who has averaged 20
points a game, had 21 Monday
while Marsh led the team with
23 and 11 rebounds.
Harry Moser also picked off
seven missed shots.
The frosh played a game at
Louisburg last night.

The opinions expressed by this newspaper
"re not necessarily those of East Carolina University
:?:?:?;?:?:?:?:?:?
Over the past several years we have seem the
deterioration reflected in such matters as
student personal appearance, permissiveness
concerning class attendance, and the increasing
pressure for "pass-fail" systems.
In isolation these items might he of minoi
significance, but when viewed against the
backdrop of the general deterioration they take-
on meaning
The personal dress of some students has gone
beyond casualness and informality, which in
themselves are normal and understandable, to a
calculated "slovenliness to borrow a term
from Jose Ortega y Gasset's classic, "The Mission
Of A University"
This slovenliness often exceeds a distegatd
for elementary personal cleanliness and
appearance to an intentional design to refuse-
ordinary social amenities, and to a malicious
disregard for the basic personal and property
rights of others.
PATTERN REFLECTS
The pattern of slovenliness is sy mptomatk of
an mnei disorder which reflects a profound
disdain for intellectual life by denying the
formalities and civilities essential to Its survival,
In his famous Ideas Have Consequences,
Richard M Weaver lay bare this question of
Civility with the observation. "The modern
temper feels imprisoned by all torm and he
reflected. "The soul of modern man craves
orgiastic disorder
Similarly, momentum has generated in recent
years with college faculties lot allowing
complete permissiveness regarding class
attendance by students.
The concept of in loco parentis on out
campuses has been dead foi some time,
however, the mailer of permissiveness in class
attendance goes beyond that to the very
integrity of the academic process
As with personal slovenliness, indifference to
class attendance is evidence of the
ami intelleetualism on our campuses, for it
shows a repudiation of the personal discipline
and perseverance which arc essential to
excellence in any pursuit, including the world
of learning and scholar ship
MAY EXPtRE
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-fail" systems.
This is the system that allows no distinction to
be made between the "A" and "D" siudent-the
?:?? student either passes or fails.
It is a crude system in thai it minimizes the
possibilities of diawnig distinctions among
students on the basis ol demonstrated' talent and
el tort
To many it is educational egahtarianism, and
iis fetish for leveling, at its worst The
proponents of "pass-fail" contend thai it will
allow students to "experiment" with courses
without the "fear" and "pressure" of "grades
Othei reflective and serious observers of the
campus scene see it otherwise As Professor
George Douglas of the University of Illinois has
succinctly stated it in The Intercollegiate
Review. "A pass-fail course is simply one that
the sudent need put in only the smallest
amount ot effort to get by, however nobly the
matter may be looked at in theors
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
"pass-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 or restoration on the campus it must be
understood that the task is formidable. The
process ot decay has been going on for
sometime 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
produced a severe . though not yet fatal, crisis
Further 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 civilied 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 ol 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
debate In any ease there are no contempoiaiy
works on the subject equal to those ol that
bnlha.it and lucid Englishman of the nineteenth
century. John Henry Newman Newman's
works on the role ol 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 ot cisilitv
opened and reasoned discourse, disciplined
scholarship, inspired teaching, and that abiding
quest for "the permanent things
Concerning the civility ot 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 soother occasion he described
civility in this fashion. "It is well lo be a
gentleman, it is well to have a cultivated
intellect, a delicate taste, a candid, equitable,
dispassionate mind, a noble and courteous
hearing in the conduct of lifc-lhese are- the
connatural qualities of a large knowledge, they
are the objects of a university " Vet, Newman
knew thai civility in itself was inadequate to
sustain excellence at a university, tor alone it
can degenerate into the blandly genteel and
sterile wot Id 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
ol opened and reasoned discourse, and thereby
unequivocally, he rejected the concept et the
politicized university In this connection he
wrote. "A univeisiiy is a place of concourse an
which the intellect may safely range and
speculate, sure to find its equal in some
antagonist activity, and Us judge in the tribunal
ol truth, ll is 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 scholaiship
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, tho eye of the mind, of which the
object is nth. is the work of discipline and
habit
Nor docs 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 icebound, petrified, cast-iron
university, and nothing else" On another
occasion, he Instructed, "A university is an
Alma Mater, knowing her children one hv one
not a foundry, or a mint, or a treadmill These
warnings arc appropriate m the present age ot
Ihe impersonal mass universitv with its burning
problems of student anonue and alienation
