4 A Talk With New Chancellor

BY JOHN DAY

> Dr. McNeil, all that most of us know about you is you are a relatively young man, you come to Maine from the University of Wisconsin, and there’s been quite a bit of discussion about where you’re planning to live. Could you tell us a few facts about yourself? For example, I understand that you’re a native of Spokane, Washington, and a graduate of the Univer­ sity of Oregon.

McNEIL: Yes, I grew up in Portland, went to grade school and high school in Portland. I went into the Army in 1940 for five years. I then returned to Oregon and went to the University of Oregon at Eugene and received my baccalaureate degree.

What did you study as an undergraduate?

McNEIL: I started out in journalism and ended up in history. 1

4) I understand that you are something of a history buff and you’ve written a couple of books? McNEIL: Yes, from Oregon, I went to the University of Wisconsin and received my master’s degree in 1950 and my doctorate in 1956. During the last stages of my doctor­ ate in history, I worked for the State Historical Society of Wisconsin and eventually became director. Then, in 1959, I went to Arizona to try a free-lance career. I tried some fiction and some non-fiction and was published in scholarly journals and popular magazines such as the Reader’s Digest and Parents’ magazine.

What sort of articles did you write? 4 McNEIL: Well, I wasn’t very successful with fiction, having sold only a few short stories. I ended up writing He’s a strong about education. I did an article on “The Role of the Negro in Arizona.” I must have spent two weeks going to government officials for background material. After trying believer in mass various markets, I ended up selling the article for thirty-five dollars. About this same time I was a coach of the local Little education League. I came home one afternoon after listening to angry

Did you write historical fiction? McNEIL: No, just a novel, still not publishable, and several short stories. I am quite interested in the short story. 5 "You have to Find out about yourself . . . good arguments for living in the Bangor area, good argu­ ments for living in the Augusta area.

But I have been involved in intramural sports and that’s what I like. I enjoy exercise.

McNEIL: The biggest task is to learn about Maine, to McNEIL: Yes, I wasn’t in the participation sports meet its people and to get acquainted with them. like football, but I’m a great fan. I like professional football ... especially, of course, the Green Bay Packers. Will you be spending quite a bit of time discussing the new budget?

We have McNEIL: But that’s the way Green Bay was for years. the problem of Portland and Gorham campuses located The Patriots have new leadership and are ready to move up. so closely together. We have the problem of what we are going to do about two-year post high school education. What does your family think of Maine? The other major problem is merging the two systems. Each system works quite differently. We’re going to try to bring McNEIL: Well, so far only my wife has seen it. My seme uniformity after full consultation with the people nine-year-old son has a sense of adventure about it. I involved, then decisions will be made that will lead us to have purchased a home in Portland and the nine-year-old more efficient use of the resources we have on these is quite excited about it My wife Pat is enthusiastic about campuses and to build the schools to the quality we all everybody she’s met. We like to camp. We go camping want. While it will take some time, we do have to move almost every summer.

But we’re decisions are made that dictate future direction. not really that fond of hunting. Ultimately we’ll have a master plan for public higher Has anything about the state disappointed you? education in Maine.

McNEIL: About Maine? No It’s fresh and new and We don’t have one now? I’m enthusiastic. I think, of course, there are problems here. One of them arose following my first decision as to McNEIL: No, I think that creating a structure and the location of the chancellor’s office. I think that this is hiring a staff is a beginning. I think that the State of a temporary problem. Maine has established one of the best systems of public higher education in the United States, which is why I came here.

When we get established of-war between the northern and southern sections of the state? and get strong public support, we can use existing resources better. A strong, single unit organization will be better McNEIL: Yes, I think it will. There’s got to be more equipped to get federal money. There are going to be statewide coordination, even regional coordination, and federal programs in the next ten to twenty years that will I’m sure we’ll get into that later on. But there always will ignore the states that lack coordination. It’s going to be rivalry between particular geographical areas.

McNEIL: The consolidation into a single university is going to save the state money in the way that we are using existing resources. What happens when you use your re­ sources wisely is that you begin to bring a quality through­ out the system that begets further educational needs. Take a student, let’s say in Washington county, where he likely would have gone someplace else previously, because of the quality and the standards and so forth, now he has a good institution where he can get educated near home and that is where he is going to go. Ten years ago he might not have gone at all. He’d have gone out and gotten a job at a gas station, or at a hairdresser’s shop. I want to make this very clear: the consolidation promotes efficiency Chancellor Donald R. McNeil, his wife Patricia and son and better use of resources.

This is happening. Look at the revolution that’s happened in the last fifty years. You know it was only around World War One, when a lot of people didn’t go to high school.

my fall semester

BY RICHARD E. DODGE Class of 1969 ELL, here we are,” Steve said flatly as Wwe watched the big four engine Hercules aircraft, which we had moments before fran­ tically unloaded taxi over the wind blown snow and then climb into the air, leaving us isolated on the barren ice field. It was quite different from the mid October Maine scene which we had left only a few weeks ago to begin geological work in Antarctica. By chance the weather was a sunny and calm 0°F. and within several hours we had our two Scott double-walled polar tents erected and our cache of food and equipment neatly arranged. No sooner than our tiny campsite was completed, the wind, as if sorry to have muffed its first opportunity, began to pick up speed, encouraged by falling temperatures. The chill factor became about -60°F much too cold to work for any prolonged time outside. We eagerly crawled into our tents to await the end of the blow. Dr. Harold W. Borns, troop commander due to his previous Antarctic ex­ perience, and Dr. Bradford A. Hall finally shouted over the roar of wind and the thun­ derous booming of our tent wall, “When’s supper?” Steve Brown and myself, senior geol­ ogy majors at the University of Maine, now relegated to the positions of chief cooks and rock carriers on the mission, made no reply. We were involved in the much more intricate problem of extracting maximum heat from a minimum stove which we had finally discov­ ered how to light.

I I ing our enforced confinements we often thought of the sunny island of New Zealand, our hopping-off point before landing at the navy station at McMurdo for equipment and training. We had stayed several days in New Zealand since some dis­ cussions were necessary with the two New Zealand geolo­ gists who had originally worked in our field area. We found New Zealand to be “quite English” and very charming in nearly all respects. We remembered, however, sampling the national dish—whitebait (sort of like fried clams to a Mainer) which consisted of numerous little white minnows, batter fried in deep lamb fat, complete with heads, tails and black beady eyes that seemed to watch you as you sus­ piciously watched them.

BY JOHN DAY

How has original concept of ETV evolved since 1962? ENGLISH: It started out, of course, to aid school children. All ETV stations still carry out this function; but, especially on the national level, more and more effort is being directed toward evening public affairs and cultural broadcasting. Locally, how does your programming break down? ENGLISH: We program four regular school programs in the morning and afternoon. We concentrate on adult education, courses leading up to college credits, and public broadcastings. I guess that’s what you’d have to call it, in the evening, although you have to wonder sometimes just what difference there is between adult informational and public broadcasting. We do documentaries, plays, concerts ... this type of thing obviously is educational. Are the so-called public broadcasting programs more expensive? ENGLISH: Not really. The additional costs result from keeping on our transmitters in the evening. Very little is spent for the evening programing. It’s like icing on the cake. Does anybody censor or shape ETV programs? ENGLISH: I travel around a little and talk with peo­ ple in the industry. There are states where people ask what right does the FCC (Federal Communications Com­ mission) or some Board in Washington have to say your state system must do this or that. But we really don’t have any problem like that in Maine. You mean you are your own bosses? ENGLISH: We are responsible to the University of Maine president, or chancellor, whatever the case may be,

and the board of trustees. < I We are limited by funds, of course, from the legislature How did the ETV network become involved in the present controversy regarding the governor’s televised press conference?

oday’s college student, often criticized, many times type-cast as a discontented non-conformist ungrateful Tfor all his opportunities, has a staunch defender in a Uni­ versity of Maine administrator who has been actively en­ gaged in helping these people for 41 years. He is U. of M Dean of Men John E. Stewart who will retire from that post in June of this year after some 18 years in his current position and an additional 23 years as a teacher of mathematics at the State University. “Today’s college student is much better informed than the student of the 1928 era, seems to have a clearer purpose when coming to college, is likely to be better adjusted and more devoted to academic life,” says Dean Stewart, who has been granted a leave of absence for the spring semester in Dean Stewart,a order to prepare himself to go back into the teaching field. He now holds the academic rank of professor of mathe­ matics at the university. “In fact, I have found students of today to be extremely forthright and honest in their dealings with me. They seem staunch defender to want to get the facts of the matter which is troubling them out into the open, have the problem discussed and a solution found as quickly as possible,” adds Stewart. In his 41 years at the university Dean Stewart has been in a position to counsel students almost from the outset in 1928, as he was adviser to freshmen and later became chair­ of college students man of the freshman and sophomore advisers for the college of Arts and Sciences.

24 BY DR. JAMES M. CLARK n the twelfth century in Europe a new institution appeared in the history of Western civilization: the university. ITeachers and students gathered together in a number of medieval towns and organized themselves into guilds of masters and scholars. These new corporate structures were SWrf ftuM R soon recognized by church and state, beginning a tenuous existence that continued through the centuries. Today’s colleges and universities are the lineal descen­ dants of those early European institutions. In fact, I suspect that the college or university is one of the few American institutions in which so much goes back to the Middle Ages. Academic garb, degrees and their titles, examinations before juries on the graduate level, and other accouterments of higher education are medieval in origin. Of course, some students complain that the professors are medieval as well. And some critics argue that teaching methods in higher edu­ cation have not changed much since students gathered around their masters in the twelfth century. Certain other things appear not to have changed very much either. A medieval father wrote to his son, who was a student at Oxford University: “I have recently discovered that you live dissolutely, preferring play to work, and strum­ ming a guitar while others are at their studies.” He probably wore beard and sandals as well. Other reports of the time show that all was not the pleasureful and relaxed life of the student prince. Violence and strife appeared occasionally within the university and between the university and un­ comprehending townspeople.

Student Unrest

owever, until recently such descriptions of student life H and unrest were quaint and distant tales used to titillate students in medieval history classes—to help get them through the dreary, drowsy hour of a one o’clock class. But times have changed. Hardly a university or college in the country, indeed in the world, has not known some manifes­ tations of student frustration and protest. Last year there were incidents of varying degrees of seriousness in Argen­ tina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Spain, Great Bri­ tain, France, Germany, Dominican Republic, India, Italy, Japan, Senegal, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey, United States, and Yugoslavia. San Francisco State University many times has been forced to resort to police intervention in an at­ tempt to restore order to campus. What had seemed an historical curiosity has become a contemporary reality. * * We used to bemoan the apathy and political naivete of our students. I happened to be in Europe at the time of the Dr. James M. Clark, university vice presi­ Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and the subsequent Soviet dent of academic affairs, discussed the con­ repression.

All I could come up with at the time was a weak » reply to the effect that demonstrations on political questions were not part of the folkways of American college life. 25 How times have changed' Students have seized offices or today on one particular area: the demand for student power buildings at Columbia, Tuskegee Institute, Virginia State, in higher education.
