Active Role . . . (CnWtiniU’d from page 6) fives open to them and to help the clans reach a decision.” How would this work? Take an upper-division lit class for in stance, with three sections. Since there are no research findings that small lectures arc any better than large lectures, those people who want lectures could meet in one room, and the professors could decide among themselves how to di vide up the lecture schedule, if they wanted to. This would free the other in structors for small group dis cussion and individual meetings. Some students may want to study on their own for a while, write a paper, and discuss this pa lter with the teacher. It seems arguable that this system would he more effective if the course base was five in stead of three hours. There are other ways to in volve students. After three or four weeks, the class may want to reverse its course. Or when a problem arises, like boredom or high absenteeism, the teach er could stop and ask the class what is wrong and try to solve the problem with the whole class instead of trying to solve it alone. Or he could stop his lec ture a few minutes early one day, and ask the class if they thought it was helpful. Must want Involvement Hut as Bradford points out, "the teacher has to honestly want this type of student in volvement before it will work, since students can pick out whe ther he really wants their feel ings or just wants a superficial positive reaction.” And in order for this system to work, both students and teach ers must make many adjust ments. Another way to involve stu dents is in the method of teach ing. Bradford states, "perhaps without intending to, many teachers cover content by giv ing answers, which discourages involvement.” This technique kills motiva tion,, according to Bradford. "Students are more likely to be curious and to want to work with the subject matter if they can get their hands on the ma terial and be able to organize it even in a rudimentary fash ion. Emphasizes Facts “But too often the manner in which they are taught empha sizes the learning of facts and information while the ability to organize and apply this infor mation is frequently left by the wayside." Thus, Bradford suggests that teachers could encourage a problem solving approach. One way to do this is for the teacher to turn questions back to the class to solve or for the teacher to raise questions during discussion. In this method, responsibility for the way the class is being conducted is shared by the group. “The teachers,” he adds, “still might have more influence and responsibility and make more decisions than any other mem ber of the group, but there is enough responsibility that is shared so that the class is in the position to question what the teacher is doing and can remake a decision that it does not find helpful.” Bradford feels there is only one main area which belongs to Die teacher alone and that is course content, what will be covered in the exams. This is the basic amount of material, he says, the student must be re sponsible for in the exams but not “necessarily what has to be covered in lectures and discus sions.” Class Should Understand The students may want to learn this information on their own and use the lecture time to do something else. Here Bradford says, the instructor should make sure that the class understands exactly what it is doing, but this decision should stand. Bradford goes on to say that there are many decisions that the teacher will make himself because of time pressure but he will have to know which de cisions will produce maximum commitment from the class and which decisions he could make just as well by himself. “He has to walk a fine line between the problem of giving so many decisions to the class that they become immobilized with too much freedom, and the opposite danger of keeping too much to himself or giving the students only the minor issues to solve. “What has to be made clear is that any decision made ei ther by the teacher or by the class can be reconsidered by the class and if they disagree with a decision made by the teacher, then this can legiti mately become an issue for the entire class to work on.” lUliUllliinUillilUINIillllHllMMlIHIIIIIINil CLASSIFIED ADS NOTICE Clammed Deadline: Place In SOI Allen, Emerald office by 2:00 p.m. day pre ceding publication.

Emerald Editor: Helenas Letter Emerald Editor: In bis recent column, Profes sor James Klonoski answered me and others who have criticized the vice president’s stand on Viet Nam by maintaining that Humphrey is forced by circum stances over which he has no control (his role as vice presi dent) to rigidly support the President’s position on Viet Nam, and further states that in civil rights "his record is unmatched by any other politi cian in public office today.” I agree completely with the latter point. I have followed Humphrey’s career over the years and his record, not only in civil rights, but in many other areas has been outstanding and courageous. As for his position as vice president, there is no doubt that he must support Johnson's policies if he is to continue in that capacity. The war in Viet Nam, how ever, is an extremely important political issue. The number of men and resources which we have committed in Southeast Asia, and the number of lives lost, make it crucial enough in itself. Even more important, however, is the fact that it may well develop into a general land war in Asia or into a nuclear war. In light of such possibilities it is of vital importance that each American decide for him self whether American policy in Viet Nam is well constructed. My own conclusions are that it is a war in which we should not be involved and which we certainly should not be escalat ing. The United States has allied itself with reactionary elements and has needlessly risked war with China and the Soviet Union. I do not believe that American interference in this civil war has been justified by the administration’s moralistic and overgeneralized statements. I cannot overlook Humphrey’s support of the present United States policies in Viet Nam merely because I have agreed with him on other matters. I 13th Ave. Laundromat 365 E. 13th WASH DRYER Coin & Bill Changers Vending Machines Hair Dryers Weekday Laundry & Ironing Complete 24 Hour Laundry Service believe that Viet Nam is the most important issue facing the United States today and tHSt as a part of the administration, the vice president, despite his outstanding record in the past, must share the responsibility for what I believe is a foolish and risky foreign policy. It is true that Humphrey, as vice president, is obligated to support the President’s position, but were he opposed to John son’s policies and willing to sac rifice his own political ambitions for the welfare of his country and for its highest principles, he would resign in protest. This would not be easy for him, but on an issue as im portant as this, it is his obliga tion; unless he really beiives his own platitudinous statements that by constantly escalating the war, President Johnson is pur suing a sound policy. David H. Jackson Graduate, Political Science Supports Aberle Proposal Emerald Editor: I am for the Aberle proposal for reasons quite different from those so far advanced. I am opposed to compulsory military service. Obviously, this attitude is founded on still other rea sons, the elaboration of which I reserve for a future time. The policy of compulsory mil itary service is probably work able only because of the selec tion deferment system. People in positions of power or who have parents and friends in po sitions of power are frequently able to escape the draft, or at least to time their entry or oth erwise avoid unpleasant serv ice. Hence they find it relatively easy to support our military pol icies. Their only involvement in many cases is that of financial or political benefit. If the sons of our congress men and others in influential po sitions within our economic and political structure were not read ily deferred by virtue of being in college, their parents might begin to question the virtues of the draft, and an effective pro test against compulsory military service could eventuate. A lot tery system of drafting mili tary personnel would make such a protest even more likely. The Aberle proposal is a small step in this direction. It tends to throw a little sand into the functioning of our military ma chine. And, from my viewpoint —the more sand, the better.
