East Indian teaches Western Civ By PAM SMITH Kansan Staff Writer A professor from an eastern civilization is teaching eight sections of Western Civilization this semester. Cawas "Bill" Mody, graduate student working on a Ph.D. in political science, was born in India and has attended schools in that country, England and the U.S. Comparing the school systems of the countries, Mody said that the United States' educational system, set up with compulsory education for the masses, sacrifices a great deal of quality for quantity. "Although the graduate training is immeasurably better, the mass educational system produces a lowering of standards" from what the system could be, Mody said. Mody said that there is an attempt towards compulsory education in India; it is not, however, at all on the level with the United States. In India, fewer people have a chance to receive a high education, even to the high school level. "This produces a greater selectivity in India's system," Mody said. The United States also has relatively few technical colleges for vocational training, compared with India and England, Mody said. "In India and in England, a man who doesn't go to a university learns a trade," he said. Mody said he feels that there is a great myth, being perpetuated by the press, that India is a country of "starving people and terrible want." "I don't feel that there is a cultural lag in India. There are parts of India which are equally sophisticated as the United States, if not more so," Mody said. Mody also believes that the mass media, especially the movie industry, perpetuates a myth about the United States. The image of the "American Dream" is oftentimes presented. But, Mody said, "The two"δΈ€the image and the reality-"just don't coincide." However, Mody said he feels that the United States has a lot to offer. "It's absolutely fascina- cally and intellectually, everything is happening," he said. Mody then criticized the people of the United States for not taking advantage of the opportunities which are offered. "Unfortunately, people don't make much use of their culture." he said. Speaking specifically of KU, Mody emphasized KU students' apathy towards their educational and cultural advantages. "KU has an excellent theater, concerts, art departments and faculty, but the students don't appreciate what they have." Mody said. Evening 7:15-9:15 Mody said he feels that the Western Civilization program at KU is also sadly underrated by the students. "It's a magnificent program as it's set up. It is unfortunate that there is a degree of negativism attached to it. The program is designed to make students think about the current patterns of thought that have contributed to Western Civilization," he said. Mody's major criticism of the university system on a whole is that the student isn't given enough time to digest any material given to him. He said, "The student is expected to get at a book and know it. This doesn't signify true learning." On his reaction to student unrest in India, England and the United States, Mody replied, "It's rather shocking and highly irresponsible. Those who set themselves out as reformers of society don't have much to contribute, and I don't believe they have the capacity to bring about constructive change." Mody attended school in India until the age of 11 and then went to a public school in London. After completing the Senior Cambridge Examination, which is equivalent to an achievement test, he returned to India. Mody received a bachelor of arts and a law degree from the Doon School, in Poona, India. Mody and his American wife reside in Lawrence. ATTENTION LAWRENCE & K.U.!
