(The Academic Revolution,
by Christopher Jencks and
David Riesman; Doubleday &
Co., 543 pages.)
The revolution in American
society that occurred following
the Civil War when the country
industrial growth skyrocketed
has brought right on its tail
another revolution, an
academic revolution, according
to Jencks and Riesman in their
book.
'. Higher education has
become a major growth
industry, they contend, which
exercises a decisive influence
on the society.
Characterizing this
revolution has been the
development in the late 1890's
and early 1900's of a handful
of national universities, such as
Harvard, Yale, Berkeley, and
Michigan, "that have become
less and less preoccupied with
educating young people and
more and more preoccupied
with educating one another by
doing scholarly research which
advances their discipline."
The rise of these universities
and the respect they won from
the society has led almost all
institutions within the country
to try to imitate them in
turning out scholars that
follow in the pattern
established by their educators,
the two writers contend.

Hill over the weekend for the

discussions, and Jencks paint a
picture of an academia that has
managed to bedazzle the rest
of the society with their
scholarship and continually
raked in the dough for research
purposes to advance their
profession, while at the same
time claiming that they are
educating their youth.
"The striking fact about
America, at least to us, is . . .
the extent to which the verdict
of academicians on the young
is accepted by men who have
little apparent sympathy for
academic values."
An interesting commenting
coming at a time when the
most vocal commentators on
the University, the persons on
the New Left, are claiming the
opposite, that it is the business
segment of society that is
leading academia around by
the nose, rather than vice versa.
The radicals idea of what
the university is about is
typified by a recent statement
passed by the New University
Conference at Michigan
University, one of the schools
that Riesman and Jencks
would fit into their category of
leaders of the academic
revolution:
"The actual goal of the
University is the mass
production of the technicians
and the techniques that keep
society functioning smoothly.
In exchange for these
commodities, the University
receives money and
recognition."

government into providing it
with grants to finance scholarly
endeavors, the actual case,
according to NUC, is that the
federal government uses grants
to make the University
dependent on it and therefore
can "prevent the University
from assuming the important
and objective critic of the
values, structure, and policies
of the society."
Unique Art Contest
Offers Cash Prize
By MARY BURCH
DTH Staff Writer
Do you think the model
student is a TCC, a College Joe
or a dorm rat?
Draw him and you may win
some money.
The Gallery Committee of
Carolina Union is sponsoring a
unique art Contest for non-art
majors on the theme "The
Model Student."
The exhibit and judging will
take place Sunday, December
15, in the main lounge of
Graham Memorial. Entries may
be in oils, charcoals, drawings
or any other media except
sculpture.
"The idea for the exhibit
was discussed at the beginning
of this semester," said Di Anna
Cowan,;. .'. chairman of. the
committee. "We feel that this
contest is an excellent way to
discover student talent and to
give non-art majors a chance to
exhibit their works."
The winning work will be
purchased by Carolina Union
at a minimum of $25, the
exact figure left to the
discretion of the judges.
Students who enter exhibits
may sell their works to buyers
if they wish, but prices may
not be exhibited with the
work.
All entries must be

How Riesman and Jencks
have reached their conclusion
on how the Universities are
running the show is hard to
determine. They have done f n
excellent job of assembling
evidence on the development
of the colleges into major
universities but, weighing the
evidence, it seems to point
towards industry's use of the
university to further itself,
December 14, between 10 a.m.
and 5 p.m. along with name
and address. The judges will be
members of the Ackland Art
Department.
Following the judging there
will be a reception in Graham
Memorial. Everyone is invited.
This is the first year that
the Gallery Committee has
been in existence. The new
Carolina Union affords
students and faculty the
opportunity to display their
works.
The Gallery Committee has
10 members and Miss Cowan,
the chairman, who seek to
bring art shows to campus and
to display the works of campus
talent.
Exhibits are usually set up
on a, monthly .basis. The first
showing this month was the
London Graphic Arts exhibit
from Detroit which Miss
Cowan noted was a
"tremendous success."
"The response
committee and the
to the
art show
-have been good so far," Miss
Cowan said, "but we hope
more students will participate,
especially in the non-art majors
contest. The theme gives
students a wide area in which
to work."
For more information
students may contact Di Anna
Cowan at 933-1907.

ratr than the opposite.
The two authors point out
i?1 following the First World
"America and its colleges
changed dramaticallv. The
economic, political and social
institutions that had emerged
fiter the Civil War became
ncreasingly stable and
established. Both within and
around them power came to
depend less on entrepeneurial
imagination, zeal, and
ruthlessless, and more on
professional expertise, personal
adaptability, and packaging . . .
New business curricula were
established for students who
found the traditional academic
fare indigestible, and
corporations began to consider
college graduates as potential
junior management material."
Riesman and Jencks call this
change in curricula a move by
the edicators to exploit the
businessmen. It's hard to grasp
how this is academia's
exploitation of business. It
sounds more like business using
the institutions, or at least the
establishment by business of a
symbolic relationship in which
colleges educate junior
executives for the business and
businessmen leave the colleges
free to develop their scholars.

That it is trying to serve
both can be judged from the
fact that they admit both that
the purpose of the university is
to educate the student in the
ways of the society and later
on say it is to indoctrinate him
in the ways of his discipline.
Perhaps the most interesting
aspect of the book, one for
which there can be little
disagreement, is the pages of
evidence they present to prove
that higher education is not a
means by which the lower
classes can rise, but that it
merely perpetuates the class
system in America.
Their solution to this is not
to make entrance into college
any easier for lower class
students or to make available
to them remedial courses,
because, they explained, these
efforts to increase class
mobility would meet
opposition from the middle
and upper class who recognize
that when someone goes up the
ladder, more than likely,
another person will have to go
down. Their answer to the
problem is to decrease the
difference between classes for
increased equality, rather than
increased mobility.

'City' Folk Music
In presenting Judy Collins
as a part of the Duke Weekend
entertainment program, the
Carolina Union is giving this
campus the seemingly
impossible combination of
elements it demancs a familiar
"name" and something new.
On Friday, November 22, the
concert-goers will find that
that something new also
happens to be very good.
For Judy Collins the
emphasis in music is on
communication and getting at
it "through lovely, beautiful
songs words put together
with melodies that came from
somewhere different,
immediate, close."
But from the first, when
she was labelled strictly a folk
singer, and increasingly since
her last two albums, Judy
Collins has been beyond
bagging. She herself says that if
she belongs to any tradition, it
is one of the city, .one with
roots in urban life.
When "In My Life" was
released in January, 1967, the
critics recognized that the
"folk singer" had become an
outstanding interpreter of
contemporary songs. The
album was hailed as a

milestone, an irrevocable break
with the past, a unique
treatment of unique material, a
new altitude towards
contemporary son as works
of art.
Her most recent album,
"Wildflowers" offers another
new side of Judy Collins as
her own songwriter. She
considers this new creative
phase of her work as being
completely different difficult,
yet wonderful. "I have to
work, look, find out what is in
the song, if I love it, look long
at everything about it, take the
trip with words and music; and
I find that I am more and more
a singer."
Judy Collins' appearance
here should offer an
enlightening experience in
lyrical communication because
she is the kind of singer,
choosing the kind of songs,
who will make you "lean into
the words."
Tickets are on sale now at
the G.M. desk at $1.25 for
students and their dates.
Don't forget The
Association, who will be
appearing available to UNC
students for $2.
