THE name “Thornes Students’ Bookshop'’ has suddenly beoome a dirty word with many

students this year. Many people seem to have had a book on order at Thornes for weeks and are becoming progressively more bitter. Examples of 70 Maths students wanting books and only 10 bei«« produced, and Law students with books five weeks too late have been died. .

The blame, however, seems not to rest entirely with Thornes. The University is partly at fault. Thornes sent a circular letter to all departments saying that if they had exact orders by June they would get the goods. However, only 60 per cent of the departments replied in time.

Thorne’s Manager told Courier’ that tbe Publishers

too. do not seem to have an efficient distribution system. They have the monopoly o f the book and they do not care how long it takes to deliver, it often take# four to six weeks and Oxford Uni­versity Press are the worst American books often have to come by post across the Atlantic!

Educrcative ideas of Paul Ritter : What is wasted ?

A new look at education

I AST week’s meeting between student represen- * * tatives end the Jesmond Ratepayers’ Association ended satisfactorily for both sides. University staff and students seem pleased that ttw Ratepayers were dissuaded from any substantial direct aetion and the Ratepayers' Association itself had a chance to air their grievances.

Hie fact that very little wes actually put on paper as a basis for constructive improvement of the situation for either side does not appear to have entered very largely into the proceedings. The Vice Chancellor has since warned 8.R.C. that stern action will be taken against flat-llylng students who misbehave but is this sufficient?

‘The topi* of profiteering landlords was raised but the problem is so acuta and has been getting rapidly worse, for so long, that some kind of res­ponsibility must be shouldered by S.R.C. and theUniversity- ‘ ? ;L\ T;

If neither of these bodies will do anything quickly, It Is no use to expect the City Council or the Jesmond Ratepayers to take the lead. The inipetus, presumably in the shape of Halls of Residence, must come from our side if students are to be safeguarded* ‘

Surely Mr. McKeak and his committee should credit flat-living students with enough responsi­bility to be capable of dealing with the police and City bye laws rather than having to answer to a different body to the rest of-' Jesmond’s inhabitants.

-The answer must be to incorporate students, at least temporarily, into the life of Jesmond, rather then isolate them and inevitably cause more alienation than is suggested exists.

Many of the Jesmond Ratepayers’ Association’s suggestions concerned what can be termed eccen­tric Ideas on student life and behaviour. They would evidently like to see students af Newcastle University, a new institution formed only two years ago, parading the streets of the city in gowns as is the custom at Oxbridge. What place has this hearkening to medieval practice In itt age of free­dom of mind and action? How can these people so openly lend themselves to ridicule at the hands of students of this University by propogeting their archeic notions?IS; MeKeag, chairman of the Association, is a Cambridge graduate, and would Hke to see a act of proctors keeping watch over the misdoings of students, as was the custom he sccepted during his undergraduate days. Does he think we are school-

The triple world .explosion, in terms of *f)opulation. privileged percentage, and piles of knowledge’, together with the incapacity o f the majority to work - creatively, are problems which all Con­cerned in education must be made aware of and must tackle constructively.

They cry out for new ideas and more experimentation. Though Paul Ritter’s work is directed primarily towards the design professions, it is of much wider releMahce. It seems to us that, at present, experiments are permitted only in education at the prim­ary level and even here creative experiments are few, isolated and unrelated to any all-embracing pattern. Paul Hitter has formulated such a pattern, based on the three- beat recurring rhythm.”fund­amental to all lj/e processes: ‘attraction — fusion — libera­tion’. . ;

He • ha« coined the term ‘Eduoreation’ to emphasise the basic essentials of education —creativity, initiative and research-mindedhess.

At present,' students work systematically through ' pre­conceived, inviolable sched­ules, in a highly competitive system, where completed work is judged according to the staff’s own criteria. Hence, the present process is 'com­pulsion—competition— moral­istic judgment’.

CreateThis is to be replaced by

the student working directly according . to his Special interest and. ability, in an atmosphere oI co-operation, where his work-process is assessed, in order to further his fuller development. It is based on the assumption that the urge to create and learn is innate (and if you don’t believe that then you might as well give up).

It was found that no fewer than eight hidden factors - contribute to selection prior

on entering a university. To­day, initiation is an appalling anti-climax in the form of a tame welcome from the Vice- Chancellor.

This vital period ought to give a feeling of belonging, give a group of fresher^ identity, make co-operative endeavour the right thing and include a laughter-provoking element. On a tide of enthus­iasm the student must be swept aright into his depart­ment and the university.

The first year is vital as a period of growing aelf- awareness: the therapeutic attitude increases the momen­tum towards this object Self- awareness, projects designed to show the student his readi­ness to swallow ‘authority’ would play an important part.

If the therapeutic attitude is to be effective, a radical re­organisation of staff functions is necessary. Permanent full­time staff must be appointed purely for their valTie as educationalists rather than as ‘subject specialists’. The latter should be employed on a temporary and part • time basis, according to the cur­rent specialist needs of the students.

Imposed lecture courses, to an annua£y repeated tame- tahfle alienate the student from his studies and must go. Lectures by request, project research (something that sfoaufld not be confined to post-graduate study), semi­nars and group co-operation- provide the flexibility needed.

Good education does not necessaxiiy arise out of a rmaterialOy well-endowed en­vironment; on the contrary, it is often the ease that where, conditions are most primitive there is greater room ; for • initiative and improvisation. Hie present sophisticated accommodation in halls,

studios, labs, lecture theatres, etc.. under the convulsively watchful eye of a rigid administration is - not suffi­ciently flexiHe for educreative purposes. '

AlongsideUniversity buildings should

indude a great variety of mutti-purpose and adaptable spaces, in comfi&exes, where the distinction between living, working and playing accom­modation is minimal- Students and staff, married, affiliated or single, shouCd lave along' side each other, eliminating the unbalanced and rigid groupings in most present day ha 11a. Existing accommo­dation merely emphasises the hierarchy of authority.

Newcastle is, in fact, for­tunate in its accommodation shortage, for at least the administration is forced to impose less restrictions on the students choices than at other universities. Notting­ham's hals, for instance, are soul - destroying, architec­turally and administratively: we understand that the same architects are to design some of Newcastle's new hatfs. The credit squeeze may give you the chance lo go and look for yoajtrseiyes, and to protest!

Tony Pledger, Convenor of Debates, was approached by Paul Ellman to arrange a debate on Rhodesia as soon as possible. He suggested that four students would be prepared to i|leak with himself and Arthur Barnett putting forward the Labour viewpoint

Tim Haywood, chairman of the Conservatives then suggested that it would be preferable if two outside speakers. Lord Hastings and Professor John Rex (Durham), a Rhodesian, could be engaged. Two of the students would have to be

, Such witty philosophy often intersperses Spike Milligan's “Puekoon” — a description of the activities and audacities past and present of a group of imbecilic Irish characters.

It was here that modern Ballet was born in the begin- aing of the iOtb century, when the Fokine Ballet emerged from a combination o f the old classical style and the new classic style, developed in America

This developed in the luxury of Russian Imperialism into an ornate &t& rich art . . . combining the music of lead­ing modem composers such as Ravel, Strauss and Stravin­sky, with elaborate scenery and costumes designed by famous artists, including Picasso. —

Tfee ornamentation and splendour may have added to Ballet, in tbe eyes o f society at that time, and remains a leading feature of 'Russian Ballet today, but *Q tbe West more use Is made of lighting, grouping and mass-move- meat, and simplicity o f back­ground is the ideal.

This wa* shown particularly this week when the Royal Ballet Company performed “Swan Lake” and “Las Syl- phides,” which retain much of the original choreography, though they have lost their almost overpowering sense of spectacle

NATIONALISTICThe Royal Ballet Company,

established jn 1830 by Ninette de Valois, has become an almost nationalistic school o f dance. They have dispelled a great deal of the stiffness and ornamentation of classical ballet, but while they retain the old ballets such as -Swan Lake” in their repertoire, they

Then we were moving. Shuffling slowly forward in reverent procession towards the goal. While tbe adverse effects o f our hibernal wait thawed as our chances of a seat increased. The Ballet would be beginning.

AFFINITYAs the lights dimmed and

the 20th century Newcastle environment vanished into darkness I felt a sense of His­tory and a sudden affinity with the audiences of ancient Rome •s— as they sat, like us, engrossed in the pantomimic performances from which Ballet is derived.

Ballet has come a long way from its early beginnings tn the Roman amphitheatres, and kas assimilated a great deal from the cultures and folk­lore of many nations.
