CURRICULUM A N D INSTRUCTION 3.1 Demonstration O f Teaching Method In Figure Drawing W i t h fhe assistance of six of his art students, M r . David Durham demonstrated a teaching method he had developed for Fig'ire D r a w i n g . The Figure Drawing I course at the Meramec Community College is the only course where this system is used. This system is composed of a three-sided plastic c u b i c l e , approximately seven teer t a l l . W i t h the use of a live model in the center of the c u b i c l e , the art students may stand on the exterior of the cubicle and sketch the human anatomy on the outside surface of the plastic c u b i c l e . M r . Durham said he had spent several years teaching Figure Drawing in the conventional method and students found the course extremely boring and uninteresting. Division Chairmcii at the Meramec Community College The Art Department has equated one year of instruction in a Figure Drawing course using this unique system to two years in the same course using the conventional system. 3.2 Report On American Council O n Education Conference Dr. Cosand reported b r i e f l y on the American Council on Education meeting he attended in Washington D. C. on October 12th and 13th concerning the t o p i c , "Whose Goals For Education-" Present to deliver major addresses were: President G o u l d , State University of New York; President Anderson, Reed College in Oregon; Board President of Washington State University; McGeorge Bundy, President of the Ford Foundation, and in addition there were seven section meetings in which a major presentation was critiqued by three panelists. The four people at each section meeting included o Board Member, a • 10/23/67 -10- ccllege president, a faculty member, and a **udent. Throughout the entire two-day conference, there was complete unanimity on the part of *--e students that higher education had lost its vision - - lost its goals — lost its leadership — and that the faculties and administrators togethei , along w i t h the Boards, were subjec to indictment. In the various presentations made, f-<e question was raised again and again — " W h o has set the goals for higher education?" He* it been the pressures from the c i t i z e n s , pressures w i t h i n the departments of higher e d u c a t i o n , or from pressures w i t h i n the institutions? Has it been from the president , the deans, division chairmen, f a c u l t y , or students? A l l of the students who spoke weic e*i-remely c r i t i c a l of higher education and its leadership. Their major criticism was that r-N5 curricula and courses were no longer r e l e v a n t , and the students generally agreed that: 1) the student himself should choose his courses to be taken because much of the required ci'—icula are completely irrelevant and -worthless. (2) The student should be able to choose the : aculty from which to take subjects. (3) Students should be educated how to learn to l e a r n , re*her than to learn facts — for facts are becoming increasingly obsolete. In her presentation on the role of a roard Member, the President of the Board of Trustees of Washington State University staled that g e n e r a l l y , most Boards meet infrequently and do not know the officers of the college c-* now curricula are taught i n their institutions. There was complete unanimity that IT-* goals of higher education are either obsolete or are becoming obsolete and need complete revision and r e - e v a l u a t i o n . Di . Cosand thought The Junior College District should be aware ar the needs facing higher education and the community college t o d a y , and of the abysmc; lack of understanding o f the philosophy of the comprehensive community college among ot*.e- segments of higher education. 10/23.67 - H- 4.
