Johnson, who has recently returned from a tour of Asia and specifically China as a guest of the exiled Prince Norodom Sihanouk of Cam bodia, has served as an In ternational Affairs Represent ative of the Friends and is widely known as an expert in Indochinese affairs. He has been a guest repeatedly in North Vietnam, Cambodia, Africa and much of Asia. In his frequent talks, he presents a critical analysis of present American economic and social institutions and offers an alternative view of the new society required and possible here and abroad. Johnson will appear as a guest at UNC-A of a com mittee which faces several formidable problems, among them, a lack of acceptance see page 7 the university of north Carolina at asheville* •vol.7,no.8 Wednesday, december 8, 1971 • Humanities Sequence Under Investigation A committee appointed earlier this year by Vice Chan- celler Riggs is investigating the Humanities Program here at UNC-A and making sug gestions for revisions in that program. see related editorial > page 2 Chaired by Dr. Richard Reed of the Literature De partment, the committee is composed of Vice Chancellor Riggs, Mr. Robert Trullinger of the Department of History and Mr. Michael Gillum of the Department of Literature. The committee’s suggested changes in the Humanities sequence, which are to be presented to Vice Chancelor Riggs sometime this week. ±n.si.d.e: Student Power at UNC-A; Before '70, the Shut-Out see page 2 Personal Experience and Flexibility Key to Education Department’s Curriculum see page 3 Vietnamese War Reformer Speaks at UNC-A; also The Ecological Destruction of Indochina: Lowallen see page -7 Basketball Report see page 8 Political Science: UNC-A Students Take I Simulation Into High Schools involve a considerable restruc turing of the program which changes both in the matrix within the program operates and the traditional mass lec ture discussion section pr,o- gram. The committee’s sugges tions, subiect to scrutiny and revision at several levels, are cutting down the number of lectures and specifying the lecturers as only one or two persons for one semester, try ing to cut down on overlap between the material being read and the lectures chang ing the role of the Coordina tor of the course, making him more a faculty liaison, rather than the controller of the whole course. The coordina tor’s role would still be deci sive in the choosing of text books, etc. One of the major changes to be suggested tentatively by the committee involves a change of the chronological sequence currently in opera- see page 3 A project which will have Political Science students teaching area high school students about world affairs and political theory is in the works in the Political Science Department here at UNC-A. The project which was the idea of Dr. Bob Farzanegan of the Political Science De- artment calls for UNC-A students bringing their talents and enthusiasm to bear in presenting ilnter-Nation simulation mto the various high schools of the city and county for the next few weeks, in preparation for an area com petition to be held at UNC-A sometime in January. Inter-Nation Simulation, the “game” that really isn’t a game, is an abstract model of a social process or set of pro cesses separated by human participants or machines. In the original introduction sheet given the high schools, sim ulation is further described, “A few simulations are all-, man, and we tend to refer to these as games. A few simu lations are all-machine, in which case the model is pro grammed to react to stimuli given through commands to the computer. Other simula tions are man-machine com binations Inter-Nation Simu lation (INS) is an example of a man-machine simulation.” INS has been used at UNC- A during the past two years mainly as a supplement to other Political Science courses with a great deal of success. So much success, in fact, that earlier this year, a group of students approached Farzane gan wanting to introduce a course composed entirely of simulation into the curri culum. The Department, then, •created Political Science 198, a one-hour extension of Pole. Sci. 180. The class was open to the earliest 18 applicants and in a matter of days, all see page 4 Ifs here ... at last.
