Prof’s plea: Educate in global context

Ring theft under investigation. Police are investigating the
theft of 12 University class rings that were stolen from a display case
in University Spirits, a University- and fraternity/sorority-oriented
store Monday. The value of the rings taken from the Baxter Street
store is estimated at more than $2,000, according to police reports.
Store manager Rick Maggiore said someone had taken the rings in
the morning when business was slow. Someone came in and just
walked out with them, he said.
NAACP meeting scheduled for tonight. The University
chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored
People will meet today at 6 p.m. in Room 137 of the Tate Student
Center. Anthony Cranberry, program coordinator for the vice
president’s office for Legal Affairs, will be the guest speaker. Mr. and
Miss NAACP, who will represent the chapter at a state meeting this
summer, will be announced. Students were nominated by NAACP
members and interviewed by the executive council. NAACP Vice
President George Bailey said, “We’re looking for someone who has
leadership capabilities. The organization will discuss plans for
“Jubilee Week,” which will take place during Black History Quarter
during winter quarter. The event will include programs such as
“Freedom Remembered,” “The Union of Blacks in America” and “A
Need for a Stronger NAACP.”
Cartoonist wins national award. Mike Moreu, editorial
cartoonist for The Red and Black, received an award Sunday for first
place in a national competition for editorial cartoons. The competition
is one of seven student contests sponsored annually by College Media
Advisers, Inc. Ronald Spielberger, professor of journalism at
Memphis State University, was on the awards committee for this
competition. He said more than 30 entries were judged for clarity of
communication, application for a student audience and quality of
execution and presentation. Moreu received the award at CMA’s fall
convention in Washington, D.C.
Game ball takes off. The Phi Kappa Psi’s 13th annual Phi Psi
500 bike ride to the Georgia/Florida football game will begin at 3:30
p.m. today. The riders will carry the game ball to Jacksonville. Chris
Gilbert, social chairman for the fraternity, said each year the
fraternity chooses a charity for which to raise money. Money raised
this year will benefit the American Red Cross. He said the fraternity
sold ads to local businesses and put them into a booklet that went to
other fraternities, sororities and businesses. The fraternity also
raised money by selling T-shirts with the Phi Psi 500 design. Gilbert
said money raised from this year’s race totals $1,500. The game ball
will be presented to Coach Ray Goff Saturday before kickoff.

ATLANTA (AP): Mayor signs curfew ordinance. Mayor
Maynard Jackson says he will sign a curfew ordinance for
unaccompanied children 16 and under that could be in effect in
Atlanta by this weekend. The measure, passed 13-1 by the City
Council on Monday, penalizes parents of children who repeatedly
violate the curfew. The parents could be fined up to $1,000 or jailed
for up to 60 days. The children will simply be taken home by police.
The curfew requires youths to be off the streets after 11 p.m.
weekdays and midnight Fridays and Saturdays, unless accompanied
by a parent or guardian. The measure has been criticized by the
American Civil Liberties Union, which said it could be
unconstitutional. It has been praised by police, community lenders
and public housing lenders.

VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP): Mount St. Helens erupts.
Mount St. Helens belched volcanic ash and steam nenrly 6 miles into
the air Monday, and the powdery fallout settled up to 65 miles away
in Oregon. There were no reports of damage and scientists said they
had no evidence of a bigger eruption in the offing. Ashfall from the
8,364-foot mountain 100 miles south of Seattle was reported as far
away as The Dalles, Ore., 65 miles to the southeast, said geologist
Steve Brantley of the U.S. Geological Survey. Residents of
neighboring towns were not in any danger, authorities said. The
explosion, recorded on volcano seismographs at 2:07 a.m., sent a
plume of ash 30,000 feet into the nir, said Chris Jonientz-Trisler, a
researcher at the University of Washington. Jonientz-Trisler said the
explosion was “very minor, minor, minor” compared with a May 18,
1980, eruption that leveled 230 square miles of forest, left 57 people
dead or missing and sent up an ash cloud that circled the globe.
NEW YORK (AP): Kuhane shot to death. Meir Kahane, the
American rabbi who formed a militant Jewish group in Israel, was
shot to death Monday night by a gunman at a New York hotel, police
said. Officials said Kahane was dead on arrival nt Bellevue Hospital.
The gunman, whom police identified as El Sayyid Al-Nosair, 35, of
New Jersey, was shot by a U.S. Postal Service police officer, who was
wounded. Witnesses said Kahane had given a speech to about 60
people at a meeting of the Zionist Emergency Evacuation Rescue
Organization. About 9:05 p.m., the Al-Nosair came into the second-
fioor conference room and shot Kahane in the head, said Officer Scott
Bloch, a police spokesman. Al-Nosair then fled outside and tried to
hijack a taxi, Bloch said. An on-duty postal officer in the area
interceded. They exchanged gunshots and both were wounded, Bloch
said.
UGA TODAY
By JOANNA HORTON
Campus Correspondent
Universities must become global
in scope, Jurgen Herbst, a pro
fessor at the University of Wis
consin, said Tuesday.
“If universities charter the
course for mankind, they must
break out of state and national
domination," Herbst said to about
50 people at the ecology audito
rium.
“We must view local, global and
national problems in their con
text.”
However, higher education
won’t achieve that goal soon or
easily, he said.
“Global thinking does not come
naturally,” Herbst said. “We have
a long way to go before we view
ourselves as worldwide scholars.”
Higher education hasn’t set its
priorities correctly, he said.
He suggested the status of the
football team is more important
than university research winning a
Nobel prize.
"It is time to set our house in
order,” Herbst said.
Worldwide cooperation among
schools is the first step.
“We must capitalize on the idea
of international community schol
arship through professor and stu
dent exchanges,” he said. “The
University must mirror the world
we live in by embracing human
kind.”
Universities should stress a lib
eral arts education and concen
trate on communication skills, he
said.
“For undergraduates, a liberal
arts education is a fundamental
part of education" he said, adding
that liberal educations leave stu
dents with a most valuable skill.
“A liberal education prepares
students with communication
skills. The ability to communicate
with symbols separates us as man
kind.
“Colleges and universities look
at liberal arts as a means to be
coming independent thinkers.”
Herbst also emphasized the role
of universities in the education of
future teachers.
“One of the most important func
tions of the University is the pre-
partion of teachers for schools," he
said.
He criticized college education
programs that instruct students in
teaching methods as part of a large
lecture course instead of small
classes emphasizing experience in
the field.
Randy McGinnis, who is pur
suing a doctoral degree in educa
tion, said, "I think he is right. We
should put emphasis on teacher ed
ucation."
Russell Yeanv, interim director
of the School of Teacher Education,
said that Herbst’s criticism doesn't
apply to this University.
“Most universities have a gener-
alistic approach,” Yeany said.
“Most universities don’t have a tea
cher education program that is
subject-matter specific.”
Because the University does, it
is leading the way in higher educa
tion, he said.
Herbst, who teaches educational
policy studies and history, recently
published “And Sadly Teach,” a
study of the development of tea
cher education in the United
States.
