Fill
Education Gap
By STEVE KNOWLTON
DTH Staff Writer
"Education is inflexible and
often painfully boring in all
too- many cases," said Stud
ent Government President Bob
Powell yesterday.
This is the reason, he said,
for the formation of the Stu
dent Seminar on Higher Ed
ucation.
He felt that he was SDeak-
ins for thP other fin students
in the seminar when he said
that, "there is not enough hard
thinking going on at the Uni
versity." He called the present sys
tem rf lepturpr - ctnrlonf to1q

tions the "Tin Can" thenrv nf
learning. Lectures are the
learning. Lectures are tne
pouring of water (knowledge)
!. ,,v , , I B.
into a tin can (the student).
In quizzes, the water is pour
ed back into the pitcher (the
professor). "That which is left
in the can is the learning,"
Powell said.
"Students have to take the
initiative in the learning pro
cess." There is a large reac
tion against the old punish
ment - reward theory of learn
ing in favor of an idea which
bases the emphasis on learn
ing through experience, he ex
plained.. Seminars may be the answer
to the problem. The group
hopes to contact the professors
on campus and see if there is
a subject that they would like
to lead a seminar on.
The lists of professsors and
1 J 1.1 l
seminars would then be pub
lished and students could sign
up for the ones which they
are interested in.
"This would be a completely
- voluntary process and there
would be no grades or quiz
zes given," Powell said.
Though there is a problem
because of the size of the Uni
versity and the diversity of
the students' backgrounds, the
Seminar students are hopetui
"Every student at aronna,
Powell feels," has something
. . i . -i i :
he's interested in learning."
In the proposed seminars,
the students would take a
much more active role in the
discussions. Such a program
has received approval by sev
eral faculty members and is
now in effect on a limited
basis.

Dr. Paul Pinckney's A sec
tion of modern civilization is
conducted by students rather
than the professor. "All of a
sudden, the students are par
ticipating more and the learn
ing is relevant," Powell said.
"But more than anything,
this Seminar on Higher Edu
cation is trying to raise some
questions. We are in the stage
of concern, but we are tak-
ing the initiative," he said.
The re - structuring of the
learning process to achieve
greater effectiveness is of ut
most concern, he said. "I don't

Black Power
"Black Power" will be the
subject of James McDonald's
talk in the Presbyterian Stu
dent Center at 6:30 p.m. Sun
day night.
McDonald, director of com
munity development for the
North Carolina Fund was as
sociated with the Urban Lea
gue in Milwaukee and St. Paul
a mutual iriena taut
to de
Plata.
De Plata still hesitated to
allow his performances to be
recorded and released be
cause he was afraid of being
cheated by the various record
companies.
De Plata finally agreed to
go to New York, but only if
he did not have to travel by
boat or plane. He was afraid
to travel more than a few
miles from his birthplace
near Aries, France.
Since de Plata would not
travel, Silver brought three
quarters of a ton of equip
ment to a church in Montpel
lier, France, and de Plata's
recording career was launch
ed there.
De Plata has now overcome
his fear of traveling and is
currently on his third tour of
the United States.
Following his Carnegie Hall
debute last year, both critics
and spectators have acclaim
ed his brilliance. He is a mas
ter of one of the world's most
difficult instruments.
Another unusual aspect of
his career is the fact that he
possesses one of the most
unique guitars in existence.
It is decorated by original
works by Pablo Picasso and
Salvador Dali.
He will perform in Memori
al Hall at 8:00 p.m. on October
31. Tickets go on sale today at
the Graham Memorial infor
mation desk for 50 cents and
75 cents. A limited number of
tickets for the general public
will go on sale on Wednes
day, October 26 at $1 and $2.

Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitter

teaching duties Tuesday in the
wake of a furor stirred by
freshmen English students
"misinterpreting" his assign

lish love poem.

Three proposals calling for
reconsideration of the Michael
Paull Reassignment were
adopted last night at a stormy
UVVSSt.V. WJfc U't,"W 11. WJ
meeting of 300 students and
fapiiltv rriAmhprs in fprrard .
faculty members in Gerrard
Hall.
Immediately after the pro
posals were given a voice ap
proval, about one third of the
group got up and walked out
of the meeting.
The group voted to: (1)
adopt a resolution presented
by Student Body President
Bob Powell, (2) Form a reso
lution protesting Chancellor
Sitterson's dismissal of Paull
from his teaching duties, and
(3) Draw up a proposal out
ling what action would be
taken in future and similar
problems.
Powell's 4-part resolution
recommends to the Chancellor
that the following action be
taken:
1. That the reassignment of
Paull be subject to a complete
review by a committee to be
established within the Depart
ment of English,
2. That the designated com
mittee be composed of the
Chairman of the Department
of English, two professors ap
pointed by him, and three
members elected both by and
from graduate teaching assist
ants in the Department of
English,
3. That the prime consider-

day he was seeking advice
from his advisors on the case,
indicating a possible reversal
of his earlier decision might
evolve.
. "The earlier decision was
made on the basis of a report
made to me," said the chan
cellor, who was out of town
during the investigation into
the matter.
Other developments Thurs
day were:
TWO LETTERS one sign
ed by Paull's entire English
class, the other by about 80
English graduate students and
ation of the committee shall be
to examine and determine
whether or not Paull's effec
tiveness as a teacher has been
damaged to such a degree that
normal student-teacher rela-
w WVMV.. vW.W -
tions have been seriously dis-
turhpd ns tr neppssitate his
turbed as to necessitate his
reassignment to non-teaching
functions.
4. That this committee
shall have full and final au
thority both in reviewing
Paull's situation And in taking
any and all further action
deemed appropriate subse
quent to such a review.
The Student Legislature to
night passed the resolution
prepared by Student Body
President Bob PowelL It was
introduced' by Bill Purdy.
The meeting was marked by
argument and confusion. Most
of the first hour of the meet
ing was spent trying to out
line the details of the contro
versy which apparently be
gan with the assignment of
the theme on "To His Coy
Mistress" last Thursday and
has boiled since that time.
Russell Whittaker, a mem
ber of Paull's class, read a
petition to the group which has
been circulated among and
signed by all the members of
the English I class.
More discussion ensued on
what should be the proper
steps to take. Then, Powell

instructors were present
ed to Sitterson.
THE CHANCELLOR met
with Student Body President
Bob Powell, with the student
faculty Committee on Teach
ing and Curriculum and with
the Faculty Advisory Com
mittee to discuss the case.
A RESOLUTION calling for
Paull's reinstatement was in
troduced into Student Legis
lature last night by Student
Legislature last night by Stu
dent Body Vice President Bill
Purdy.
The letter from Paull's
class was drafted by two stu
dents, Russell Whitaker and
Tom Denham, and read to the
8 a.m. class in 310 Murphy.
It dispassionately stated the
"facts" of the case, they said,
and asked that Paull be given
back the class since the tea
cher - student relationship had
not been disturbed, as Sitter
son had said in his Tuesday
statement.
The second letter arose out
of a meeting of graduate in
structors Tuesday night at
which a committee of five
persons including Professor
Forrest Read was chosen.

mittee member and a gradu

Charles Cherry, another com-
ate instructor, declined to re
veal the contents of the let
ter." Powell emerged from his
meeting with Sitterson "en
couraged" about the way the
chancellorwas handling the
situation, he said.
Shortly after his meeting
with Powell, Sitterson met
with the four - student - fa
culty member Committee on
Teaching and Curriculum.
Committee member Eric
Van Loon said they had ad-A
vised Sitterson to appoint a
group to study the situation.
And at 4 p.m., Sitterson met
with his Faculty Advis
ory Committee to seek advice
on the matter.
Paull was reassigned from
his graduate instructorship to
a research assistantship in the
English department after a
complaint was made when he
had asked his class to write
a theme on "seduction."
Sitterson released a state
ment Tuesday which said that
although an investigation
showed Paull's students mere
ly misinterpreted the assign
ment, it would be in the bet
ter interests of the University
to reassign Paull.
