Meredith To Share Mobil Grant Meredith College is among twenty-four member institutions of the North Carolina Foundation of Church-Related Colleges that will benefit from a rccent $5,000 dona tion from the Mobil Foundation, Inc. The gift of the Mobil Foundation to Meredith is part of the Mobil Oil Is There a "Collegiate Assembly Line' Article Views Colleges (Editor’s Note: The following is an article entitled “Collegiate As sembly Line,” which appeared in the October-November issue of the magazine "Readers and Writers.” The author, David Madden, is a professor at Ohio University.) After the riots at Berkeley, stu dent leader Michael Rossman said of UCLA: “Now I can Jove the place. It has come alive. For the first time professors and students are in touch.” Rossman had complained that UCLA didn’t educate undergradu ates. That “it is producing neatly turned components for the big ma chine outside, not individual, think ing people.” At Berkeley, it is pos sible to take a Bachelor of Arts degree and never talk with a pro fessor. Perhaps this is wKy sixty per cent of the students polled recently indi cated a preference for smaller col leges. There is more possibility for YOUR STORE Corporation’s program of support: individual help and informal con- for independent colleges through- ’ tact at a small college, and the con- out the United States.

All of the members of the Meredith physical education department will attend the convention. can strive In and out of class to create an atmosphere of creative ambiguity, paradox, uncertainty, spontaneity, fervor, controversy, and strife in which individual initia tive and originality are encouraged. Out of a conviction that the edu cational experience must be judged by the possibilities It provides for contact between teacher and stu dent, 1 began teaching seven years ago. One of my first shocks was the discovery that for many teach ers this contact is temperamentally abhorrent. A second shock, seven years sinking in, is the realization {hat many students recoil from their teachers’ most fervent attempts to create a dynamic teacher-student relationship.

With them, the drama begins. Teachers who dispense tedium and cold ab straction in the classroom often blame freshman inertia and apathy. Many teachers ridicule freshmen, to show their sophistication. But such ridicule is often a symptom of self-contempt for failure to bene fit from the challenges freshmen pose. By ritualistic adherence to formalities and rules, students and teachers can easily turn each other into things. Thus do “great” uni versities become gigantic machines. Together, students and teachers must resist the universal trend for ward on the assembly line. Ways must be found for the student to function in a giant academic ma chine without becoming an Insig nificant cog. One way Is not lo arrive on cam pus as a cog. But even in revolt patterns of conformity exist. My own Impulses are against par ticipation in any massive demon stration In which the individual runs the risk of losing his own autonomy and self-control. Individuals can function both as leaders and as par ticipants more effectively in small groups. At Berkeley were the riots the last recourse of individuals, or a sudden hysterical act of despera tion incited by a leaders recogni tion of an opportune moment? Did the revolt begin with Individual in surrections in classrooms? Or were the faceless participants mere ad juncts of leader Mario Savio’s au dacity and courage? Rebellion without risk is fake. Off-beat dress, verbal fervor, a taste for the cxotic are not enough. Beat ing one’s chest doesn’t make hair grow there. The cliche stamped con formity on the one side, maladjust ment on the other, rings hollow at both extremes. “I’ll listen to your griping,” I tell my students, “if it’s followed by a request that I help you do some thing about it. If you surrender yourself to a machine, don’t whine about the poverty of its parts; be too busy refining Its product. Make A’s in the system, then preach its stupidities and shortcomings. Also, show evidence of what your superior alternative will yield. Be above the rules by abiding by them more faith fully than the makers. Then de liver your attack from Mount Sinai, not the gutter.
