Large sheets of newsprint taped to a wall. The soft whirr of a tape recorder taking everything in. One man standing with a kindergarten crayon in his hand. This is a class at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. The place is on of the students living room. The newsprint is used to record "wishes." The man is the teacher. The class is Psychology 144, Creative Problem Solving. Bill Korth is the teacher. He's a Ph D candidate in psychology and this credit course is part of his dissertation work. The basic idea is for the group to find creative solutions to practical problems. An expert with a problem presents it to the group. The group asks questions to get aLI the facts about the problem. Then the students "wishes"-ideas which come to mind through association with parts of the problem. The expert will respond to "wishes" which he thinks have possibilities. These "wishes" are then expanded into possible solutions. The expert can then take any or all of these and research them to find if one will solve his problem. The problem, the "wishes", and the TRANSCENDENTAL MEDITATION as taugh'. by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi 3 Anyone can begin to use the full potential of his mind in all fields of life. There is a way to expand the conscious mind, tap an inexhaustible reservior of energy and creative intelligence, and bring fulfillment to life. The way. called Transcendental Meditation, is a scientific technique from man's ancient heritage. It is a safe, natural and spontaneous method for expanding the mind, and it works for pvervone. Introductory Lecture by Ronald Michalove and David Miles 5 P.M. Thurs. Oct. 29, 1970 RM. 202-204 Student Union 5 1 FEATURING ON STAGE FRIDAY 4 to 8pm possible solutions are all crayoned on the newsprint. This preserves them for further use and inspiration while the process is going on. The leader with the crayon keeps the ideas moving. If the groups gets bogged down, the leader will send the students on an "excursion", a word association trip to loosen their minds. At the end of the "excursion" the group can reattack the problem on a freer path. The positive gets the emphasis. You don't say a person's wish is bad, you point up what is good about it and add improvements. The use of metaphor is stressed as a way to create ideas. Bill Korth got the idea for this unique course from an actual use of the method. Synectics, Inc., a small consulting firm in Cambridge, Mass., uses it commercially. The firm trains people in industry to use the method to solve company problems. As a second service Synectics actually solves practical problems for industries. Bill spent a week at Synectics training to be a group leader. "I came back feeling more powerful-that I could change things." Bill hopes this carries over to the students. Bill feels that by helping people to creatively solve problems in a group they can better do this as individuals. "It must be done in a group because that's how we operate most in life," Bill says. Ideally the groups should be made up of seven or eight people. But so many students were interested in the new course that Bill has three groups of a dozen or more. it Shows: 2:00-4:20-6:40-9:00 NEED MONEY? Got A Little Spare Time?

FRANKLIN ST. The students bnng in problems they want solved. They act as the '"experts" in the process. Monday night. Keith Nuita'l was the expert. Last summer Keith worked for the Shick Safety Razor Co. in New Haven. Conn. He helped conduct research into quality analysis of the company's razor blades. Two groups of company employees shaved each day with two different blades. They were asked to compare the blades on a prepared form. One group shaved at home while the other shaved in the plant during a half-hour break. The problem . arose when the researchers found that the in-plant testers weren't really interested in what they were doing. The majority of the group would use the two blades and then rate them as equal. The researchers knew this couldn't be because sometimes one or both of the blades was defective. Other tests by machine could analyze the technical quality of the blades but human comparision was needed to effect conclusions. So the Chapel Hill class attacked Keith's problem. Students questioned him on technical aspects. They gathered all the information they needed to start making "wishes." "I wish the employees could get a reward for doing well on the tests." "I wish you could change the rating form to a more meaningful system." "I wish I could get a good shave with any blade!" Some of the wishes struck Keith as I WENTWORTH & 167 E. Franklin St. Gtey Oro0cr(k HIM P frapp) D on rfT a (Ifx possibilities to be dehed into. These led to some possible solutions. The six best employees in the tests would appear in a TV commercial. Only those expressing a genuine interest would be used. The employees wcu'd choose the best form from seven or eight possibilities. Grow a beard! Keith was satisfied. "1 think I can take these solutions to the plant over Christmas vacation and try them out." Maybe a better evaluation system will come of it. The other students are satisfied with the course, too. . "Its really helped me better related with others," says Neale Eckstein, senior psychology from Fayetteviile. 4i can work better in a group now." David LaBeiie, a junior religion major from Greensboro, took the course on a whim but now realizes how useful it can be. "I unconsciously start making wishes now which begin to generate solutions to problems," says David. This, of course, is Bill Korth's aim. It's his job to '"make them realize the group's fullest potential." The group is now seeking out experts with problems and each member has to bring in such a person during the semester. So if you're stumped on something, call David LaBelle, 967-3286, and he'll arrange a session for you. You may get so wrapped up in the method that you'll go back to get on the other side and generate some solutions. It's that kind of course.
