Dr. Taylor Criticizes Lack of Aid
By ROCHELLE SECH
Students have been forced to grow up without the help of faculty or administration, Dr. Harold Taylor, former president of Sarah Lawrence College, told a LAS Convocation Friday.
Speaking on ‘‘The World of the American Student,” he described education today as Oa “knowledge industry” where the university president is not an intellectual leader but a promoter, fund-raiser and public relations man.
Addressing the small audience, Dr. Taylor cited students as the “avant garde” of a new set of forces in education and credited them as ‘‘much more politically and socially mature.”
Sell Education
“Today we sell education,” Dr. Taylor charged, “and the question is whether the student can or cannot afford to buy.”
He feels part of the reason for this “knowledge industry” is the tremendous emphasis on technological development, particularly defense. This not only distracts funds which should be used for education but also the best educators who now devote their time to private or governmental research.
“This is not to argue that a strong military is not a necessity in the modern world,” he said, “but it is to argue that educators have lost track of this mission.”
He also cited universities and colleges misguided in their move to fulfill their obligation to students.
While the faculty is busy with research and the ad-

OVERSEAS STUDY
International Experiment Sends Five to Tunisia
Five USC students are among seven Americans enrolled at the University of Tunis, Tunisia, as part of this year’s Experiment in International Living.
The program for overseas study is sponsored by the School of International Relations, the Experiment in International Living, and the American Friends of the Middle East. Inc.
The students first spent two summer months in France. They lived with native families and toured the nation to improve their ability in the language.
They reported to Tunis early in September and were invited to live with Tunisian families.
USC student Clark Butler,
for example, was a three-week house guest of Mongi Slim. Tunisian foreign minister and former president of the U.N. General Assembly.
In October the group toured Tunisia for two weeks as guests of the Youth Wing of the Neo Destour Party, which arranged and financed the tour.
They returned to Tunis on Oct. 14 to enroll at the university, which conducts all classes in French.
Graduates and undergraduates are both included in the group, who are living in dormitories.
Dr. Willard A. Beling, coordinator of the project, raid some of the students are working for degrees at the university itself.
He added that others will there to degrees at USC and apply the credits earned other colleges.
Included in the group are Jon Parssinen, a graduate of Ohio Wesleyan University and former teaching assistant in the USC political science department; Randall Bruce Monson, senior in international relations and economics; and Clark Butler, a junior in political science and international relations.
Others are Rosemary Smilh, a senior in French; Ronald McLaurin, senior in international relations; Stanley Smith, graduate of Washington College and Clark University; and Mark Tess-ler, graduate at Northwestern University.	I

Shakespearean Expert Discusses Use of Wit
STUDENTS IN TUNISIA—American students now attending the University of Tunis are, from left, John Parssinen,
Randall Bruce Monson, Ronald D. McLaurin, Stanley Smith, Clark Butler, Rosemary Smith and Mark T ess ler.
Shakespeare’s strategy may be described as “the innocent insinuation of wit,” according to an English professor from the University of Iowa.
Professor Murray Kreiger spoke on “The Strategy of Language in Shakespeare’s Sonnets” Friday before an audience composed largely of English graduate students.
“Through this application of wit,” he continued, “Shakespeare uses two poetic effects in his writing of sonnets; the metaphor and the pun.”
In his explanation of Shakespeare’s use of the metaphor, Kreiger critically analyzed excerpts from Sonnets 12, 64 and 73.	|
Krieger described Shakespeare’s puns as “smuggled j conceit," pointing out that one imust have a “special glossary jto fully understand what is ; being said.”
“The pun.” he continued. | “is not only word coincidence 1 but. phonetic meanings and associations as well.” In this explanation Kreiger quoted Shakespeare's ‘ruin hath tot me thus to ruminate.’
The talk was intended to be a post script to Kreiger’s latest book. “A Window to Criticism: Shakespeare's Sonnets and Modern Poetics.” Kreiger. who holds the Carpenter Chair of Literature Criticism, also wrote "The Problems of Aesthetics,” and “Tragic Vision.”
