II __. _ Breaking Away: A Study of First- Generation College Students and Their Famiilies HOWARD B. LONDON Bridge-water State College Detailed family histories were taken of students who were the first in their families to go to college. This paper utilizes the psychoanalytic and family systems theory of Helm Stierlin and others to explore (1) how college matriculation for first-generation students is linked to multi- generational family dynamics, and (2) how these students reconcile (or do not reconcile) the often conflicting requirements of family membership and educational mobility. The same modernity that creates the possibility of opportunity for these students is seen also to create the potential for biographical and social dislocation. Introduction Several years ago the film Breaking Away was a box office success across America. On the surface it was the story of "town-gown" frictions between the "cuttters" of Bloomington, Indiana-so called because they were the children of the men who mined the local limestone qtuarries-atid the ostensibly more sophisticated but condescending students of Indiana University. -

One of the main difficulties experienced by teachersin breaking away from the strict confines of established disciplines is that they may' not feel fully equipped to cope with the wide range of subjects which an environmental approach encompasses.There is therefore a great need for environment-based handbooks, classbooks and teaching aids upon which the teacher can draw for information and inspiration. -
