Echoes From The Field, Joe R. Chapel, Ronald A. Crowell

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Two years ago a group of reading teachers at the college level met for the purpose of discussing current problems in helping college students read better. As a result of this meeting, the Michigan College Reading Association was established. The basic purpose of the organization is to serve as a channel of communication between people in the field so that members can get acquainted, discuss ongoing programs, exchange ideas and information, and investigate issues of mutual concern. Through this association members hope to encourage reading programs at the college level as well as to improve their own programs and teaching …

A Multi-Media Approach To Reading, Lucetta A. Johnson

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

As a new teacher in the Allegan Public Schools one of the primary goals for the year was to present reading activities to the children in as many interesting ways as possible to enrich their reading experiences. A multi-media approach was chosen to accomplish this goal and to encourage the children to love books. By multi-media approach (1) is meant an approach that uses as many printed and audiovisual forms of communication as possible. The program used consisted of the following media, which are by no means all that are currently available: Basal Readers, Library Books, Film Strips, Educational Television, …

The Challenge To Make Undergraduate Curricula Relevant To Students’ Needs, David S. Pacini, Francis D. Smith

Perspectives (1969-1979)

Panel 3 presented at the Association for General and Liberal Studies' Annual Meeting at Colgate University, October 30th through November 1st, 1969.

The challenge for the liberal arts curriculum rests in the willingness of its leaders and teachers to again address the existential condition of which we are a part. We must be far more willing to probe the symbolic nature of men, and society, to unearth the dimensions of man for which students crave. We must address ourselves to the presupposition of a culture which is in many ways diffe rent from our own. Liberal arts education must take …

Anatomy Of An Anatomy Cult, Claude S. Phillips

Perspectives (1969-1979)

The Sexual Revolution of the last half-century has produced in advanced societies a new curiosity about the varieties of cultural forms dealing with erotic matters. It may be a little surprising, therefore, for our readers to find that there is still a major culture with unusual sexual attitudes and practices which is almost unknown. The Nacirema Tribe, which was discovered by Professor Horace Miner.

Needed For The 1970'S: An Educational Policy For The Social Sciences*, Claude S. Phillips Jr.

Perspectives (1969-1979)

The list of efforts at intercultural education is almost limitless. The impact of these efforts has been so meager as to be startling. Conferences are still being convened to study the problem of how to incorporate intercultural studies into the educational system.

A Proposal For Modifying General Studies Science*, Ollin J. Drennan

Perspectives (1969-1979)

The dominant thrust of General Studies activities lies in the direction of awakening and deepening the student's individual awareness to the welfare of man-individually and collectively-in the 1970's and beyond.

The Role Of The Undergraduate College In Social Change, Kenneth E. Boulding, John Weiss

Perspectives (1969-1979)

Panel 1 presented at the Association for General and Liberal Studies' Annual Meeting at Colgate University, October 30th through November 1st, 1969.

All social change, without exception, involves a process in human learning. Social change, indeed, is an evolutionary process in the field of the "noosphere," especially if we include in this those human artifacts which are the result of imprinting human knowledge on the material and social world.

We ought to be clear at the start that the academic disciplines and the undergraduate college have not had any great impact on social change. Historically, social change in our culture …

The Course Curse, Dale Porter

Perspectives (1969-1979)

The course is the backbone of American higher education. Curricula built around sequences or selections of courses are almost universal in our colleges and universities. Attempts to move outside the course structure are still regarded as experimental or as exceptions to the rule, and their achievements are not generally understood unless translated into the language of course requirements. For example, when students demanded the opportunity for political involvement in the November campaigns, university officials obliged them-with a course. When college teachers think of educational reform they think of changing the content or the scheduling of courses, or at most the …

Dimethyl Sulfoxide Oxydation Of Hydroxy-Steroids And Studies On The Oxidation Of The 5’–Hydroxy Group Of Nucleosides, Carmen V. Zenarosa

Dissertations

Introduction

In our earlier work we demonstrated the usefulness of the acidcatalyzed reaction between N-(p -tolyl)diphenylketenimine (21) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) for the oxidation of secondary alcohols. This was exemplified by the oxidation of 2',3'-O-isopropylideneadenosine and other secondary alcohols.¹ We have now extended this procedure to the oxidation of hydroxy-steroids.

Alkynylamines or ynamines can be written in two resonance forms: R-C≡C-N R'₂ and R-C=C=NR'₂. Because of the close similarity between the latter structure and the structure of a ketenimine (R₂C=C=N-R') and the ability of sulfoxide-ketenimine to effect the oxidation of secondary alcohols, we …
