THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
3
Campus discontent outlined
A former KU professor of physics reacted last night to student discontent with society and the university's role in that society.
Max Dresden, now of the State University of New York at Stony Brook spoke to more than 50 persons on "Student Discontent and Disillusionment" in the Kansas Union Jawhawk Room.
Dresden said he thought the points of student disillusionment and discontent are in these areas: the transmission of knowledge, teaching and research; performing a social function, and performing a personal function.
A classroom is not democratic nor should it be, Dresden said. "A dentist can't take a vote on whether or not to extract a tooth, nor does a kindergarten class vote on the alphabet," he said. A teacher is more competent in his field, and therefore "can't be equal with his students because he is not." Dresden said.
The three functions of a university, Dresden said, answer some disillusionment, but the chief responsibility lies with the student, he said.
The incongruities in social problems and a university lie in the slow pace which universities change and the "illusion that all social problems can be solved." Universities imply a promise to solve all these problems and,
Dresden said, this is why students become disillusioned and discontented.
The student can do "something a computer can't, like personal relationships, and he needs
to realize this," he said. "If the student can not be a genuis then he at least can recognize the beauty and greatness of genuises, and this can add significance to life," Dresden added.
