              The Loyola Maroon Vol. XLI Loyola University, New Orleans, La., Friday, April 30, 1965 No. 23 By JACK McGONAGLE Boston Educator Poses Problems On American System There are two problems that are both large and persistent in American education, said a Boston College educator here Tuesday. The first problem is the "academic curtain that divides teachers in elementary and secondary schools from teachers engaged in post-secondary education.!' The second is the apparently perennial illusion that teachers must choose between subject matter and students, between learning and learners. The speaker was the Rev. Charles F. Donovan, S. J., academic vice-president of Boston College and dean of its school of education. He spoke at Loyola fieldhouse Tuesday night on "Discontinuities in American Education".Fr. Donovan noted the "unfortunate schism" between the school teacher and the college professor, between precollege education and higher education, and cited the "lack of commonality of interests" as the reason for the split. "In early America, ' he explained, "simple knowledge of letters and figures was adequate for those getting an education. Because uf this, teachers did not need a lot of education to do a satisfactory job. "However, colleges were for a few wealthy persons and those aspiring to the professions. They were places of intellectual activity and it was taken for granted that college professors should be men of genuine scholarship and intellectual energy." He said that this split is dangerous because, since it is agreed that the mission of the college is intellectual, one is led to conclude that the mission of the pre-college school is non-intellectual. "Some say schools build persons and colleges build minds," he said. "But we cannot build persons without intelligence."He did make a distinction between the purposes of pre-college and college education. "In pre-college schooling the primacy of the individual should be the first consideration, whereas in higher education, the first consideration should be the primacy of the discipline or learning." Fr. Donovan said that strides are being made in healing this split. "Because of the ever-increasing number of students going to college, schools are very conscious of the problems of college admissions and standards," he said. "College professors," he continued, "have come out of their ivory towers and are involving themselves in the academic life of elementary and secondary schools." He mentioned Arthur Bestor, one of the most severe critics of American education, and said that he approved of Bestor's plan to form fraternal unions of teachers. These unions would be established on an academic basis, so that history teachers, for example, at every level— grade school, high school, college or graduate school— would belong to one professional organization serving their common scholarly interests. "The second problem," he said, "affects individual teachers, narrowing their perception of their role so that they fail to embrace the twofold allegiance of a teacher —allegiance to his subject and his students. "To conceive of the teaching profession in narrow terms of subject matter alone does harm in two opposite ways." Some teachers, he explained, seek satisfaction only in counseling students, and at the same time wonder why they fulfill the definition of a teacher at all. Other teachers are dedicated scholars who use th« "one-sided subject matter concept" to justify their indifference to students, and to excuse their ignorance of things beyond their particular specialities. Every teacher should be a "master", he said. "A master is a friend, counselor, unsentimental disciplinarian, guide along the path of intellectual adventure and moral growth." The teacher-student relationship should be like that relationship between Our Lord and His disciples, he said. There can be no "master" without disciples, and no disciples without a master. Fr. Donovan is an executive committee member of the Association for Higher Education and of the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education. His articles have appeared in such publications as "Commonwealth", "America", "School and Society", "Educational Review", and "Journal of Teacher Education".He served as president of the New England Teacher Preparation Association and the Massachusetts Council on Teacher Education. Irish Critic, Former Loyola Student, Visits LU Campus During Lecture Tour Former Loyola law student and present drama critic for the London Times, Ulick O'Connor, visited campus Monday. Mr. O'Connor lectures on Irish literature and politics and is currently on a lecture tour with the Kendick Lecture Bureau. He has published two books on poetry and one biography about Oliver St. John Gogarty entitled, "The Times I've Seen." It has appeared on the best seller list of the New York Times for six weeks. While at Loyola he took a course in drama under Dr. M. D. Horne, chairman of the department of journalism, which he said spurred him on to his career as a drama critic. Besides being a critic, he is also a practicing lawyer. After finishing his tour, Mr. O'Connor will go to New York to appear on the Johnny Carson Show for the third time and then will return to Dublin, Ireland where he lives. Flamenco Guitarist In Concert At LU B &(D. McC/ia/c^ Q  Flamenco guitar artist, Bob McCrary will be presented in concert Wednesday, May 5 at 8:00 p.m. in rooms 2A-B-C in Danna Center. Under the sponsorship of the Loyola Student Union cultural committee, Mr. Mc- Crary's concert will include works by the famed Carlos Montoya and Sabicas. This summer he has been invited to study with the famous Carlos Montoya in New York. "Montoya is to flemenco guitar as Pablo Casals is to the cello," said Kathy Green, A&S sopho-  more and chairman of the cultural committee. McCrary, a one time professional baseball player, while working as an investigator for an insurance firm in Dallas, was exposed to the sound and fury of the flamenco guitar. It set him on fire, and he bought himself a guitar, a book (elementary cords) and taught himself the fundamentals. He then bought phonograph records by the greatest flamenco guitarist of them all, Sabicas, and played them over and over again while playing his own instrument.He met up with a tenor singer named Mike Williams, and they played at a small club as folk singers. Here they picked up Leroy Smith, folk-singerguitarist, and moved to Trader John's near Biloxi as the "Hooteneers." Here Bob started playing flamenco solos for the first time. He left the group and moved to New Orleans, where he played flamenco on TV and gave live concerts. He then returned to his home town, Hattiesburg, Miss., where a local person became interested and offeretf Bob financial assistance to go to Spain and study the fine old art under a master. He reached Madrid in June, 1964, and studied under Aurelio Garcia for four months. At present he has offers to perform at the New Orleans Playboy Club and other inter- esting places in larger cities. And so, Robert E. McCrary, who left Hattiesburg in 1954 to do his best to play with the St. Louis Cardinals, has now exchanged his baseball uniform, ball and glove for a ruffled dress shirt, tuxedo, shiny black shoes and a beautiful appointed concert guitar. Here Wednesday ... Bob McCrary trades Louisville Slugger for flamenco guitar. The one time baseball player is now a famed guitarist. He will perform May 5 in Danna Center in rooms 2-ABC. A student of Aurelio Garcia (Madrid) he will play pieces from Montoya and Sabicas, his favorites. McCrary's performance is being sponsored by the student union cultural committee. Staff Back From Dallas; Wolf Distribution Set By CAROLYN BEREZNAK "Each page of the 352 page book was read six times," said Ardley Hanemann, editor of the Wolf. "We hope we have caught all the mistakes, but there are always a few that you miss reading from nine in the morning until five in the evening." Long, sleepless nights have been weathered, blurry eyes cleared, a long trip made, and the 1965 Wolf is ready to go to press. Members of the Wolf staff— Hanemann; Mary Schwartz, copy editor; Guy Labatut, assistant sports editor—and Mr. Michael Kabel, moderator, have just returned from Dallas, where they corrected the page proofs of the Wolf at Taylor Publishing Company. Delivery date for this year's publication ia let for May 23. Distribution will begin at noon in front of the bookstore in Danna Center. Everyone must have their ID card in order to receive their Wolf. If they do not have one then they must see Mr. Henry Asher, the Union Director, in order to receive one. There will be absolutely no exception to this rule. Work has already been started on next year's book. While in Dallas, the staff began working out ideas for a cover design, which will be decided in the first week of June, and they have a sketchy idea of a theme. PROGRESS Reverend H. R. Jolley, S.J., vice-president of the university in charge of development, announced that he will address the Student Council on May 11 concerning plans for expansion of university facilities. These plans include the construction of a new girls' dormitory and will be disclosed to the student body after Father Jolley discusses them with the Student Council.Scholarship Given To Study Abroad Stratford-On-Avon Nancy L. Perich, A&S senior has received a scholarship to study Shakespeare and Elizabethan drama at Straford-on Avon, the Shakespeare Institute of the University of Birmingham.
