December 17, 1971 Point News Page 5 Plan (Continued from Page 3 ) committee members emphasized the need for flexibility in all plans adopted and a variety of educational and living options for students. It was decided that the school should not grow to more than 1,400 in the next ten years. The majars. The major topic of the evening was, however, the physical plan of the school. That is, should residents be dispursed throughout the campus or centrally located, as is now he case? The dispursed housing idea is one that had come to light with a physical plan known as the cluster concept. The basic way that such a set-up would be augmented here would be in our clusters, each consisting of living quarters for students and faculty, classrooms, offices and other facilities, such as a store. The clusters would probably be located on the south side of Route 5; where the present Dorchester, Prince George, Caroline, Summerset complex is located; the north field; and either surrounding Queen Anne, or Baltimore and Charles. Any present facilities could be converted to accomodate such a system. This would serve to create a living-learning atmosphere where students and teachers could live, work and play together. No decisions were made concerning the cluster concept, but options to it were put forth and discussed. On the following three Tuesdays the council met without H2Ls. It covered various topics, including a proposal for the academic program and goals for the college. Neither of these topics were finalized, but some in roads were made. It was agreed that some emphasis should be placed on non-academic activities and that these should be valued equally with academies and some generalized goals were formulated. Previously discussed ideas and proposals concerning physical plans and structure have been re-evaluated with little resolution. As the council now stands, it has few concrete plans with a deadline the Tuesday before Christmas. It hopes to have formalized something which H2Ls can work on. The final deadline for the matersplan is in June, when it must be submitted to the state government. In order that the council formulate the best plans possible, it is necessary that they know what the community feels. Think about it. Discuss it. Inform people of your beliefs. We can shape the destiny of this institution. Jim Kornick Teacher Ed, an Effective Program SMCC Grant The Secondary Educational Department of SMC is a portion of Division IV and is headed by Oak Winters and Nancy Schneidewind. The current four year teaching program is now in its second year of existance. Any interested students are encouraged to take educational courses even if they aren’t planning to pursue the teaching profession. Participating in the teaching department is an excellent opportunity to become involved within the ‘community’ and to experience the process of learning. The courses presently offered in the education department are Educat ional Psychology, Principles of Education, Methods of Education, Student Teaching, Tutorial Program, Elementary Education and Independent Studies. Because of the lack of staff, the curriculum is quite small. Nancy Schneidewind and Oak Winters are the only full time faculty while Dick Cummings and Jane Bradford teach part time. Both Nancy and Oak hope to see the education department’s curriculum expanded. It is unlikely that a new full time staff member will be hired for three years. Therefore the education department will have to depend on part time staff for an expanded curriculum. Among the new courses hoped to be offered are Children’s Literature, Education Alternatives, Early Childhood, Education, and some type of Day Care Center. Action oriented courses are going to be stressed in the future. The Education Department will never expand sufficiently to include grade school education. Eventually preschool studies will be made available with the evolving of a Human Development major but, grades one through six will not be studied. This is mainly because SMC will never be large enough to fully utilize such a department. There is no Placement Office at SMC so Oak Winters has been helping graduates find teaching jobs. He has been successful in his endeavors because, all of last year’s graduates who wanted teaching jobs were placed in such positions. Oak Winters feels that even with the scarcity of teaching jobs he has been successful in placing SMC students because they are extremely qualified people. Oak feels that the goal of the teaching department is “to educate sensitive and creative persons who see teaching as a helping act, persons who can see beyond the limits of their academic discipline and who want \ For all Your Musical Needs Shop " " Julian's Music Mart ; ; GUITARS AMPS STEREOS TAPES BRASS WOODWINDS " BOOKS SHEET MUSIC ; DRUMS DISCOUNTS FOR STUDENTS u Southern Maryland’s Only Complete Music Store tiac--- 3 ^ :— jx x l — to see youngsters grow and mature as individuals who are unique, confident, and positive. We don’t need more tryants or dispensors of knowledge. Teachers * can make significant differences in the lives of children if they understand how young people develop and if they can accept young people as young people. I don’t believe most teachers believe to be young is to be legitimate.” Nancy Schneidewind feels the goals of the teaching department are to “support any students in college, whether or not they want to be teachers, in learning about children and their development and in becoming actively involved wi th chi l dren in the ‘community’.” Also she believes it is to “specifically prepare those students who’d like to be secondary teachers by exposing them to a broad range of alternative ways of relating to and teaching students.” Students Teachers don’t all share similar ideas with Nancy Schneidewind and Oak Winters. One student teacher feels that they are too idealistic because they feel learning should be an enjoyable process. She feels that learning isn’t all fun and games but is often a definite chore. Other student teachers feel that the idealistic approach to teaching is best. They believe that students have been repressed for too long and that the dominant role of the teacher is irrelevant to the learning process. Only by recognizing the student’s level of consciousness do they feel that any learning can be accomplished. Intern Teachers learn to teach. New Means for Creation A fantastic array of audiovisual equipment has been ordered for Kent 201, the Library, nd field use. The fifteen thousand dollars necessary or this equipment was supplied jointly by the library and the collegial dean of faculty. In a memorandum of November 30, John Carey of the library outliens the equipment purchases made through his office for the college. Kent 201 will be equipped to view synchronized, programmed slide shows. For this purpose a number of automatic focus slide projectors, two Kodak dissolve controls, and a four-channel programmer have been ordered. This equipment will enable students to view multi-screen slide shows with up to eight projectors and four track stereo. The programmer co-ordinates the sound system with the individual slides. The dissolve units create a fade in/fade out effect with the slides instead of the usual abrupt change. The sound system for 201 will include a quadraphonic Fisher 701 receiver, a four-channel tape deck, an AR turntable, and four AR speaker svstems. Also slated for 201 is VHF-UHF-FM television and radio antenna to be installed on the roof of Kent Hall. New equipment for the library includes a turntable, eight-track tape deck, stereo Dolbyized cassette tape deck, stereo radio receiver, and speakers. This equipment will be installed in one room of the media department. New videotape equipment includes three cameras, an editor, a special effects generator, four monitors, and an assortment of lenses. With this equipment camera positions can be switched instantly through the special effects generator, or two different pictures can be placed next to each other on the same piece of tape. Several tape recorders, movie and slide projectors of all kinds, and some portable stereo phonographs are on order for individual field use. There are two Nikkormat 35 mm single lens reflex cameras with standard, wide angle, and telephoto lens on order to ta'ke slides for the projectors in Kent Hall. The decision to order this equipment came after a general survey of the faculty one by John Carey who then ordered the equipment. Dr. Wilson uses Kent 201 as his classroom and contributed much of the input as to what should be installed there. Jim Hayes proposed buying the new videotape equipment. Foul weather friends Winter is here. And winter is a great time to get your bike ready for next spring. PDQ CYCLE wi l l do whatever it takes to put your bike in top form whether it needs a minor tune-up or a major overhaul. We know bikes and bike people. The coffee's hot and the talk's free. Drop by soon. PDQ CYCLE. Down Great Mills Road in Lexington Park. 862-1791. The St. Ma ry ’s City Commission has recently received a badly needed grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities Division of Research and Publication. The grant consists of $61,120.00 from May 1, 1972 to May 1, 1974, if it is matched by private donations. The title of their project is, “The Making of Maryland’s Tidewater Society: A Research Partnership Between History and Historical Archaeology. ” The purpose of this grant is to allow the SMCC to carefully excavate the ruins of ancient St. Mary’s City with the aid of highly qualified researchers. St. Mary’s City is one of the “last great unexplored seventeenth century site in English-settled America. ” It is presently buried beneath St. Mary’s College and much of the surrounding farmland. The St. Ma ry ’s City Commission is a recently formed historical agency under the Department of Economic and Community Development of the State of Maryland. It is directed by Holger V. Jansson. The commission is composed of a highly qualified research staff, seven state appoin ted commissioners, collaborators and an administrative staff. The commission expects a number of outcomes from the excavations. Journals of the staffs work will be published for the benefit of citizens. Extensive research will be done concerning the economic, social and democratic structures of the colonial society. Also, the great need for experienced archeologists and architectural historians will be partially fulfilled. By working with St. Mary’s College and the Smithsonian Institute to create an effective master plan, the SMCC hopes to accomplish their mission of preservation. They plan to maintain the peaceful atmosphere of the area as well as providing elaborate public museum facilities. Possible uses include short documentaries made by students instead of term papers, and could be used in other classes. Videotape can permit a student to evaluate his or her performance in a speech or acting class. Guest speakers can be recorded for classroom use. e a t/tp ■anti, s u n d ; BEP b r u n c l s te a k o v t t h w champagne
