The theme for this year’s
Homecoming is “Shaw
University, A Very Present
Spirit”. The emphasis will
center around the renewal
of spirit, dedication, and
support to Shaw University
that has surfaced in all
sections of the University
spectrum.
Officials at Shaw have
planned a flurry of activity
for the alumni which has
prompted buses and planes
to be chartered from
several locales. “We are
expecting a record number
of alumni for this year’s
observance”, said Mrs.
Marjorie Scott, coordinator
for alumni affairs. She
noted, “I’ve been in
contact with alumni across
the country and everyone is
bubbling with enthusiasm
in anticipation of a
nostalgic return to their
alma mater”. The alumni
activities will include a
“Miss Alumni” contest
banquet, the general alum
ni meeting and the cabaret.
The Shaw Players and
Company will kick off the
week’s activities with
RALEIGH - When Mrs.
Emma Jane Muse was in
high school, she was a
model student - all A’s and
a teacher’s favorite. She
was sure she would go on to
attend Shaw University in
Raleigh.
But somehow things got
in the way. Her mother
died and Mrs. Muse was
too shy to ask her cousins
with whom she was living
to send her to college. A
year later she was back
with her father in Philadel
phia, Pa., but he didn’t
have the means to pay
tuition.
Marriage and a long
procession of jobs kept her
away from college for about
35 years.
This spring, Mrs. Muse,
who works for the N.C.
Personnel Office, will
receive a Bachelor of Arts
degree from Shaw Univer
sity.
The long delayed degree
comes through Shaw’s
innovative “University
Without Walls”.
Mrs. Muse has not gone
back to the classroom to get
her college education.
Rather she has designed
her own program of study
that draws on the accumu
lated training and job
experiences she has had
outside of college.
After Mrs. Muse submits
her thesis later this month
on “Personnel Administra
tion: Theory, Function and
Practices”, (based on a
case study of the depart
ment in which she works)
she will have completed her
college requirements. This
will make her eligible for a
promotion, she said.
Shaw’s University With
out Walls (UWW) has
blossomed to an enrollment
of 500 students since its
beginning three years ago,
making it the largest
program of its type in the
U.S., according to Dean of
UWW Dr. Abdul Elkordy.
Dr. Elkordy recently de
clared a moratorium on
enrollment, putting close to
300 applicants on a waiting
list.
Most of the UWW
students are like Mrs.
Muse; they never got
around to attending col
lege, but feel that their life
experiences should qualify
them for a degree.
UWW is based on a
concept of independent
study that began in
England several years ago.
“The basic assumption is
that practical life experi
ence is at least as important
as the theoretical experi
ence that you get in the
classroom”. Dr. Elkordy

GREENSBORO - Two
hundred educators, inclu
ding student teachers,
public school teachers and
administrators, beginning
education students, and
college supervisors attend
ed a Competency-Based
Teacher Education Work
shop at Bennett College,
according to Dr. Lela R.
Hankins, director of teach
er education at Bennett.
The opening session
began with a symposium on
“The Competency-Based
Approach to Teacher Train
ing.” The participants were
Mr. Joe Cashwell, assistant
director of teacher educa
tion, North Carolina De
partment of Public Instruc
tion, Raleigh, North Caro
lina; Mrs. Lucille Browne,
assistant superintendent
for Pupil Personnel Ser
vices, Greensboro Public
Schools; and Mrs. Linda
McDougle, principal. Gra
ven Elementary School,
also of Greensboro.
One of the workshops
focused on “Exit Criteria
for Assessing Student
Teaching Performance and
that of Future Teachers
According to Guidelines
from the State Depart
ment.” A demonstration,
“Media in Action”, was
held in Holgate Library.
Forty fall semester Ben
nett student teachers, who
will be evaluated by the
new exit criteria standards,
have just begun their
apprenticeship in the public
schools. They are: in
business education, Mary
Eldridge; in elementary
education, Helen S. A-
dams, Janice H. Canady,
Stephanie F. Dalton, San
dra Freeman, Diane Fuller,
Marcia Johnson, Marsha
Love, Wanda Maxwell,
Francine Motley, Alice
Myatt, Mary Rorie, Sheila
Bennett; in English, Yard-
ley Nelson; in history.

said in a recent interview.
But getting a Shaw
University, degree through
UWW requires more than
simply cashing in on years
of life experience. To be
admitted to the program,
an applicant must have at
least the basic skills
equivalent to one year of
college classes in English,
math and the social and
urban sciences. The appli
cant must also show social
and educational maturity.
Mrs. Muse’s back
ground, apparently, dis
plays such maturity. “I’ve
had a push toward
self-improvement all a-
long”, she said. Reading,
secretarial school, charm
school, job training with
Frigidaire and finally spe
cial studies at N.C. State
prove Mrs. Muse’s self-
motivation.
“Our students must
meet the same require
ments as a regular Shaw
student, but we find
alternative ways to do it”.
Dr. Elkordy said.
The UWW student is
given an adviser, someone
with a masters degree in
the student’s field who
supervises the program, or
“contract” of study. This
contract may include some
classroom work, but for the
most part students are on
their own. In some cities
such as Atlanta and Miami,
large numbers of UWW
students are organized into
clusters. Dr. Elkordy said.
The students who range
in age from 20 to 70, must
take at least two trimestes
of study, he added.
The UWW program at
Shaw reflects a popular
trend in experimental
