Davy Crockett craze changed his life….
MSUM’S CROCKETT: DESCENDANT OF KING OF THE WILD FRONTIER
The legendary American pioneer Davy Crockett ran away from home at the age of 13.
About 150 years later, on Wednesday, Dec. 15, 1954, when Walt Disney debuted the first episode of its wildly popular Davy Crockett ABC television series starring Fess Parker and Buddy Ebsen, another 13-year-old Davy Crockett felt like running away too.
“It literally changed my life,” said Crockett, now MSUM’S vice president for administrative affairs. “You’d have to be a baby-boomer to understand just how that show impacted popular culture at the time.”
The real Davy Crockett (1786-1836) was a heroic Indian fighter, frontiersman, politician and hunter who died at the age of 49 during the siege of The Alamo.
“I once stayed at a hotel in Iowa called The Alamo,” MSUM’s Crockett said. “When I left the next morning, their sign outside read ‘Davy Crockett slept here.’ Now that’s pretty quick marketing.”
It wasn’t until he was 31 years of age, however, when Crockett discovered that he actually is a descendant of the celebrated frontiersman. “That’s when my mother and father started tracing the family tree,” he said.
The MSUM vice president is the great-great-great-great grandson of Davy Crockett’s brother, William.
It’s a connection he’s proud of today. But it was an unbelievable loadstone at the age of 13.
In today’s media-saturated culture, it’s hard to imagine a time when a single image could captivate an entire generation.
But in a single day in 1954—the same year Bill Haley released “Rock Around the Clock” and the French lost the battle of Dien Bien Phu in Vietnam—the Davy Crockett craze swept the nation. More than 40 million viewers—mostly between the ages of five and 15—tuned in to the popular Walt Disney television series.
By the end of 1955, the New York Times estimated that American kids had their choice of over 3,000 different kinds of Davy Crockett merchandise—from coonskin caps and lunch buckets to underwear and comic books. It was a $300 million marketing craze created literally overnight.
Ten percent of all children’s wear sold that year could be linked to the rage. More than 5,000 coonskin caps a day were selling in the summer of 1955.
The first six months of 1955, “The Ballad of Davy Crockett,” written in about 20 minutes by Disney scriptwriter Tom Blackburn, who’d never written a song in his life, and George Bruns, a Disney composer, sold nearly seven million copies and spent six months on the Hit Parade charts. Since then more than 40 separate musicians—from Eddie Arnold and the Sons of the Pioneers to Burl Ives and Tennessee Ernie Ford—made covers of the 20-stanza ballad.
By the end of 1955—when Elvis Presley was on the cusp of releasing his first hit song, “Heartbreak Hotel”—Crockett mania ended.
How quickly they forget. “In my 30 years of education, I don’t believe many of my students have made the connection,” Crockett said. “Kids today just don’t remember that era.”
But back in 1955, Davy Crockett was probably the best-known 13-year-old in northern Iowa.
“I remember being interviewed by KFGO-TV in Mason City,” Crockett said. “They insisted I wear a coonskin cap. They called me Iowa’s own Davy Crockett.”
He also made the front page of the Mason City Globe-Gazette and the Des Moines Register.
Impressionable and introverted at the time, the notoriety left him stunned. “Every day I’d hear some comment—at school, at the candy shop, wherever. I bet I’ve heard ‘The Battle of Davy Crockett’ more than most anyone.”
Even when the craze was over, the connection continued. “I’ll never forget that day when I was 15 years old, quarterbacking the high school football team against neighboring Lake Mills. On the first play of the game, before the ball was hiked to me, the entire Lake Mills team stood up and shouted: ‘Fumble, Davy Crockett. Fumble, Davy Crockett.’ I started to laugh, then got so rattled I had to call a time-out. My coach wasn’t very happy.”
It got better in college. There were three Davy Crocketts at the University of Iowa at the time—two students and one faculty.
“Once I picked up a pair of wing tips from a repair shop and after wearing them a day, I noticed they were a half size too small. After thinking about it, I called the other Davy Crockett and asked if he happened to pick up a pair of shoes at the same shop that were a size too large. Yup, he did. We exchanged shoes.”
His best friend in college insisted he had a worse time growing up with his name: Harry Coffee. “I conceded that argument,” Crockett said.
Maybe it was fate, but his name might have predisposed his future.
“As a junior at the University of Iowa, I enrolled in a class called Corporate Finance taught by Dr. Charles Marberry. When he took roll that first class, two of us stood out because of our names: me and a guy named Phil Sinatra. That’s when he announced to the class that if no one happened to know the answer to any of his questions, he’d call on Crockett and Sinatra first. Well, he did just that in the next class session. It got my attention and I went to class and started studying seriously.”
Crockett ended up taking five more courses from Marberry and majoring in finance.
In recent years, Crockett and his family have taken more interest in his ancestry. They’ve  traced the Crockett lineage to France, where the family name originated as Crocketagne. But when the clan became Protestants in Catholic France, they fled to Ireland with the Huguenots to escape persecution. And to avoid the same persecution in Ireland, they shortened the family name to Crockett to avoid any connection with Catholic France.
The first Crocketts landed on American soil in 1706 and subsequently migrated south along the coast. “Today, there are lots of Crocketts in the south, and probably quite a few Davy Crocketts.”
The MSUM vice president said he’ll continue researching his family’s genealogy when he retires.
“What I’ve learned from all this,” he said, “is that if you look at how are forefathers lived and what they accomplished in this country, we should all be proud of our heritage.”

HATE CRIMES & HATE INCIDENTS
Hate Crimes & Hate Incidents seriously threaten society today. Thousands of people are victimized each year because of their actual or perceived skin color, ethnicity, religion, gender, and/or sexual orientation. The US Federal Bureau of Investigation statistics show that schools and college campuses are the third most common place for hate crimes to occur. Due to such statistics and the fact that the majority of hate crimes are committed by young people, there is a pressing need for colleges and universities to take the lead in preventing hate behavior and creating a safe learning environment for all people.
Participants in this workshop, presented by Teresa Helfter Glover, will develop an understanding of hate crimes & explore the scope of their mpact our our campus.  Through group activities and interactive discussions you will develop ideas for a comprehensive approach to hate crime prevention on your campus. Thursday, November 28, 6-9 PM, CMU 205
If you have questions, please contact The Center for Leadership and Organizations at 236-2790.

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
Have you ever wondered why one person succeeds at work and relationships and another equally intelligent person just can't get it together? Academic and work success mean little if you are unhappy. Research indicates that once you enter a career, ultimate success may depend on your ability to manage your and others' emotions.
A new, one-credit, 8-week class will introduce the concept of Emotional Intelligence (PDEV 190).  Students will assess their own emotional intelligence as it applies to self-awareness, interpersonal relationships, adaptability, stress tolerance and optimism. Research on EI will be investigated and ways to strengthen and develop EI will be identified.
Class meets MW 2:00-3:15 and starts March 18, 2002. For more information, contact Elizabeth Evenson (evensnel@mnstate.edu) or Deb Seaburg (seaburg@mnstate.edu) at the Counseling Center, 260 Bridges, 236-2227.

 GRADUATE PROGRAM PROFILE SERIES
SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGY
School psychologists provide consultation, assessment, and intervention services to students, families, and school staff. Usually school psychologists work with preschool and school aged students in public school settings, but they also may work in mental health settings, and with college students and other adult learners.
MSUM’s School Psychology Program in the Psychology Department has graduated more than 220 students since 1971. Most are working as school psychologists in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Iowa, but we also have graduates in states such as Washington, Oregon, Arizona, and Kansas. School psychology students earn a thesis-based Master’s degree and then complete an additional 30 semester credits, portfolio, oral exam, and national written exam for the Specialist degree (a total of 61 graduate semester credits).
The School Psych program is one of only two graduate programs on campus to require that students be enrolled on a full-time basis (the other program is Speech-Language Pathology). Students are on campus for 2 years of classes and then complete a 1-year (1200 hours) internship, generally in the public schools.
MSUM’s School Psychology program was one of the first in the nation to become approved by the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) in partnership with NCATE, and we continue to maintain that status.  Upon completion of the program, graduates are eligible for certification as a Nationally Certified School Psychologist, as well as being eligible for certification as a school psychologist in almost all states. Currently there is a shortage of school psychologists, so job prospects are excellent for graduates.
For more information on the School Psychology Program, contact Dr. Peg Potter, program director, at 236-2805 or potter@mnstate.edu or visit the program website at www.mnstate.edu/gradpsyc.

 ‘THE FULL MONTY’: WHAT’S
IT ALL ABOUT, NIGEL?
“Going for the Full Monty,” an examination of why that 1997 British movie became such a commercial hit, is the focus of a lecture by Nigel Morris, a professor from England’s Lincoln University, at 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 15 in King Hall Auditorium.
His talk is part of campus International Education Week events.
Morris, a senior lecturer in media theory, will discuss why “The Full Monty” toppled “Jurassic Park” as the highest grossing release in Britain while earning the best-ever receipts for a British film in the United States. He’ll try to explain why this modest production managed to out-profit the mega-film “Titanic” and how the Brits seemed to beat Hollywood at its own game, earning four Academy Award nominations in the process.
The talk is free and open to the public. For details about other International Education Week activities at MSUM, contact the university’s International Programs office at 236-2956.

 Arts & Humanities Series…
EARLY AMERICAN WOMEN
TRAVELERS TOPIC OF
NOV. 15  COLLOQUIUM HERE
“Early-American Women Travelers: Ruminations and Encounters” is the focus of a lecture by Susan Imbarrato, an assistant professor of English and director of Women’s Studies at 4 p.m. Thursday Nov. 15 at 4 p.m. in the Center for Business 109.
It’s the opening lecture in this year’s College of Arts and Humanities Faculty Colloquium Series, which provides a forum for learning about the research interests and accomplishments in the department. They’re free and open to the public.
Imbarrato’s talk comes out of her larger, ongoing project on “Women and Travel in Early America and the New Republic,” a study of women and travel conditions in America from 1750-1830, a period marked by the establishing of the stage coach and the coming of the railroad. She wants to understand how women traveled, what they observed, and what they experienced.
She has been working on women's travel narratives and tavern records for information on the frequency of female travel and details on how long they stayed, how much they spent, what they ate, with whom they traveled, and why they traveled. Thus far, Imbarrato’s research suggests that the female traveler has a unique view of her surroundings, and whether she is venturing into the frontier or along more well known routes, the female offers an articulate view of lodgings, roads, towns, and people.
Imbarrato, at MSUM since 1999, earned her doctorate at Claremont (California) Graduate University, and writes and speaks frequently on American travel narratives, early American women’s issues, and slave narratives. Her most recent book is “Declarations of Independency in Eighteenth-Century American Autobiography,” published by the University of Tennessee Press (1998).

‘I WANNA BE ME’ LOOKS AT HOW
MUSIC EXPRESSES IDENTITY
How listeners use rock music to express their identity to themselves and others is the focus of a new book by Minnesota State University Moorhead philosophy professor Ted Gracyk titled “I Wanna Be Me.”
The celebrate the new publication, Gracyk will sit for a reading and a book signing from 3 to 4 p.m. Tuesday Nov. 27 in the MSUM Bookstore (Maclean Hall). Refreshments will be served.
Released this month by Temple University Press (304 pp., $22.95 paperback), the book looks at rock as a mass art, drawing people together in communities of listeners who respond viscerally to its sound and intellectually to its message. From the Sex Pistols and Eminem to Bonnie Raitt and the Rolling Stones, Gracyk says, rock music contributes to our cultural capital.
In a nutshell, he argues: What you listen to is who you are, but the context in which you listen alters what the meaning of what you listen to.
This is Gracyk’s second book that takes a philosophical look at rock music. His first, “Rhythm and Noise: An Aesthetics of Rock,” which reasoned that rock music is an art form in its own right, was released in 1996 by Duke University Press.

Enz Finken moved.  Conteh seconded to approve the new course:
Honors 308: Aesthetics of Music (3 cr.)
(The Liberal Studies committee approved this course for Liberal Studies
Division D at their 9/21/01 meeting.)  Theodore Gracyk was present to answer questions.
Motion carried unanimously.
3. Graduation Honors Requirement
Change the Graduation Honors Requirement to:
The College of Education and Human Services proposed that all students who complete at least 43 credits at MSUM as candidates for baccalaureate degrees may graduate with honors.  The APAC discussed the proposal during meetings on 4/17/01 & 5/1/01.  Minutes of those meetings are available on the academic affairs webpage.
The APAC members reviewed academic honor policies from six other universities.  They also reviewed data from an analysis of the Spring 2000 MSUM graduating class provided by John Tandberg.  Donna Heald was present to support the proposal on behalf of the nursing department.
These points were discussed by the committee: Credits accepted in transfer by MSUM should be included in a student's GPA.  (Some students transfer to MSUM with an Associate of Arts degree.)  Liberal Studies credits are approved for transfer by Admissions, and the appropriate department decides whether to approve transfer coursework required in the student's major.
-Grade inflation.
-Implications that the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum policy has on transfer credits.
-The number of nursing students graduating with honors.
-If the existing academic honor policy, which was established long ago, is fair to students currently earning degrees from MSU Moorhead.
A subcommittee of APAC volunteered to review the academic honors policy: Kathleen Enz Finken, Gary Edvenson, Steve Bolduc, Jarilyn Gess, and Ron Jeppson. Jeppson will convene the first meeting.  Other members of the university with expertise may also assist the subcommittee.  The subcommittee's charge is:
-to review MSUM's academic honor policy, and to consider if a student's
 GPA should include coursework/grades accepted in transfer by MSUM.
-If a change is recommended, the subcommittee must also address:
*when the policy would be implemented,
*if an appeals process is needed and if so, the period of time alums would be allowed to appeal. -The subcommittee will obtain feedback from the campus prior to their
recommendation to APAC.  APAC will discuss the recommendation at the
April 2 meeting to allow time for policy revisions, if any are recommended, to complete the governance process this spring.
Meeting adjourned at 4:20 p.m.

RANDAL BERGQUIST APPOINTED (Nov. 7 issue)
TO ATHLETIC FUNDRAISING POST
Moorhead native and Minnesota State University Moorhead graduate Randal Bergquist joined the MSUM athletic department as fundraising/promotions coordinator, athletics director. Katy Wilson announced this week.
Bergquist, 32, replaces Dave Sabolcik, who resigned in September to accept a similar position at the University of New Mexico.
A 1988 graduate of Moorhead High School, Bergquist received a bachelor of arts degree in history from MSUM in 1995 and a bachelor of science degree in social studies in 1997. He spent three years as a teacher and coach at Barnesville High School before joining the faculty at Lake Park-Audubon High School in 2000. Bergquist’s coaching resume included volleyball, football, girls’ basketball, baseball and softball.
“ My short-term goals are to meet as many of the faculty and staff as I can, and meet all the Dragon Fire members,” Berquist said. “Obviously, I’d like to raise as much money as possible for Dragon athletics, and I hope to contact as many graduates as possible to ask them to help us reach our goals. I would also like to establish a positive relationship with our corporate sponsors.”
He and his wife Melissa reside in Moorhead.

PLAY EXAMINES MINNESOTA’S
POLITICAL PIONEER COYA
KNUTSON NOV. 8 AT MSUM
As part of the MSUM Women Alive Series, Kathy Ray will perform the one-woman play, "Coya Knutson Comes Back," at 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 8 in Weld Hall Glasrud Auditorium. It’s free and open to the public.
Coya Knutson's life has inspired a generation of feminists who look to the first and only Minnesota congresswoman as a model for defying the conventions of her time.
Knutson twice won election??in 1954 and again in 1956??to the U.S. House of Representatives from northwestern Minnesota's Ninth District.
Actress and playwright Kathy Ray of Barrett, Minn., brings Coya back to life as she re-enacts the circumstances surrounding Knutson's terms in office at the state and national level.
Her congressional career came to an end in the 1958 campaign, derailed by the intrigues of her own party's leadership and fallout from rumors of an extramarital affair with her Washington chief of staff.
The anti-Knutson machinations were fueled by the nationwide publication of two "Coya Come Home" letters written by husband, Andy, suggesting the congresswoman had abandoned her family in favor of a political career.
As a representative, Knutson made progress in support of farming and successfully introduced legislation that provides low interest loans to students wishing to attend college.
The program is sponsored in part by the Loft Literary Center with funding provided by the Blandin Foundation and the Land O'Lakes Foundation. The MSUM Alumni Foundation and the Red River Women's Network generously provided additional funding.
For more information, call MSUM Women’s Center director Patricia Nunn at 236-3792.

It will focus on how important magazines were to early 20th-century North Dakotans.
 MNSCU ENROLLMENT HITS ALL-TIME HIGH
Enrollment this fall is the largest in recent history at the 34 Minnesota State Colleges and Universities, where the projected full-year-equivalent enrollment in credit-based courses is 123,225 for this academic year. That represents a 3.6 percent increase from actual FYE enrollment of 118,907 in the 2000-2001 school year.
Fall headcount enrollment has increased even more dramatically over last fall, with a jump of 5.6 percent. This fall, 161,972 students are enrolled in credit classes, compared with 152,018 in fall 2000. This is the third consecutive year for headcount increases.
“The enrollment increases are a clear indication that more people are becoming aware of the excellent opportunities offered by Minnesota State Colleges and Universities and the reasonable cost of tuition on our campuses,” said Chancellor James H. McCormick in announcing the enrollment figures today. “Clearly, students are voting with their feet.”
Additionally, enrollment of new students is up 8 percent this fall, compared with the overall increase of 5.6 percent.
Campus officials attribute the enrollment gains to various factors, including new academic programs, more students transferring to continue their education, higher retention of current students, more effective marketing and personal contact by admissions staff. The economic downturn also may be prompting more people to start school or return to upgrade their skills or change career directions. Some cited local business layoffs as a factor in the increased student numbers.
The full-year-equivalent enrollment is a measure calculated by counting the number of credits taken and equating them to full-time students. The headcount represents the number of students enrolled in credit courses at a particular point in time. Normally, the count is taken on the 30th day of class at each institution, but because of the state employee union strike, the headcount was made Oct. 26.
The Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system is made up of 34 institutions located in 46 Minnesota communities.

BRITISH PROF EXPLAINS
SUCCESS OF ‘THE FULL
MONTY’ NOV. 15 AT MSUM

7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 15 in Minnesota State University Moorhead’s King Hall Auditorium.

F-M CIVIC OPERA
PRESENTS HOLLEQUE
RECITAL HERE NOV. 16
The Fargo-Moorhead Civic Opera Company presents Elizabeth Holleque in recital at 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 16 in MSUM’s Weld Hall Glasrud Auditorium.
Holleque, who once taught art in the Fargo school system, sang with the Metropolitan Opera for several years, most notably in the title role of Tosca alongside leading tenor Lucianno Pavarotti.
Holleque’s career began with the F-M Civic Opera Company in the mid-70s, when she was an art teacher at Agassiz Junior High. She began voice lessons at Concordia College, and worked backstage for the FMCO, painting and designing sets. She also studied voice with David Martin, artistic director of the FMCO at the time.
Holleque was among the 10 winners of the Metropolitan Opera auditions for Young Singers in 1984. She debuted with the Met in 1991 as Musetta in La Bohème. Critics have hailed her voice for its mobility, purity of tone and power. On the occasion of her September 1992 Covent Garden debut in the title role of Tosca, with Pavarotti as Cavaradossi and Zubin Mehta conducting, the Mail on Sunday (London) wrote: “Coquette and virago by turns, her dramatic passion…stirred memories of Callas. I predict this is a debut we shall remember for many years.” The Times (London) also praised her singing, adding that her performance was “great theatre.”
Tickets for the recital are $15. Current season ticket holders to the opera pay $10. A reception for Holleque will be held following the event.
To purchase tickets, call the FMCO office at 239-4558.

EARLY AMERICAN WOMEN
TRAVELERS TOPIC OF
NOV. 15 COLLOQUIUM HERE
“Early-American Women Travelers: Ruminations and Encounters” is the focus of a lecture by Susan Imbarrato, an assistant professor of English and director of Women’s Studies at MSUM at 4 p.m. Nov. 15 at 4 p.m. in the Center for Business 109.
It’s the opening lecture in this year’s College of Arts and Humanities Faculty Colloquium Series, which provides a forum for learning about the research interests and accomplishments in the department. They’re free and open to the public.
Imbarrato’s talk comes out of her larger, ongoing project on “Women and Travel in Early America and the New Republic,” a study of women and travel conditions in America from 1750-1830, a period marked by the establishing of the stage coach and the coming of the railroad. She wants to understand how women traveled, what they observed, and what they experienced.
She has been working on women's travel narratives and tavern records for information on the frequency of female travel and details on how long they stayed, how much they spent, what they ate, with whom they traveled, and why they traveled. Thus far, Imbarrato’s research suggests that the female traveler has a unique view of her surroundings, and whether she is venturing into the frontier or along more well-known routes, the female offers an articulate view of lodgings, roads, towns, and people.
Imbarrato, at MSUM since 1999, earned her doctorate at Claremont (California) Graduate University, and writes and speaks frequently on American travel narratives, early American women’s issues, and slave narratives. Her most recent book is “Declarations of Independency in Eighteenth-Century American Autobiography,” published by the University of Tennessee Press (1998).

TEACHING IN A TIME OF PLAGUE
by James M. Kaplan, languages
(This article by MSUM languages professor Kaplan appeared in a recent edition of the MnSCU Center for Teaching and Learning Update newsletter.)
Two days after the attacks on New York and Washington I was slated to drive from my home in Fargo, North Dakota to Roseau in northern Minnesota to give a lecture for the Minnesota Humanities Commission. The audience would be a large group of rural Swedish-Americans, the heart of Middle America, a very different group from my usual French students at Minnesota State University Moorhead. My talk was to be on "Christmas Among the Swedish Pioneers", a subject sure to appeal to this audience. But oh how changed everything was since the plans were made! I, no different from the whole nation, was staggering under the repeated blows, and I was heartsick, emotionally exhausted and deeply upset. I was reminded of Albert Camus' great novel "The Plague" about a whole city tormented by the disaster of an epidemic of bubonic plague. All Americans felt like the beleaguered residents of the plague-ridden city. But the group in Roseau wanted to go ahead with its scheduled meeting, and on a crystalline Autumn day I drove north through the beautiful Minnesota countryside, by farms and silos, shelter belts, little towns and crowds of growing turkeys scratching about in the fields. It was comforting, a much needed comfort, to travel through that land of peace and plenty.
Although my talk was all prepared, I and the people and the atmosphere were tense. My emotions were roiling right below the surface, and they couldn't help but show in my presentation. I talked about the Swedish pioneers in this country - no different from their fellows from many lands, who gave up their language, their rootedness, their culture, their feeling of security for a chance at economic betterment and for freedom from oppressive social, political and religious structures. One of the pioneers I talked about was Stella Halsten Hoencke, born in a log cabin in Harwood, North Dakota who would live to fulfill herself as a gifted poet and music teacher. I had interviewed her at age 96 when, though blind and deaf, she eloquently bore witness to a long life of struggle and high accomplishment. I read aloud one of her charming poems, bound to please this audience of rural seniors:
MILLER'S DELIGHT
I remember the days of my childhood
When clothing was made from a sack,
With Miller's Delight on the front side
And Certain to Bake on the back.
No silk or rayon in our budget;
We washed the flour sacks clean,
And made petticoats, pants and pajamas,
All worn with the air of a queen.
For those were the days of our childhood
When things were simple and sure,
Deep rooted as our convictions
And clothing was made to endure.
I like to remember those old days
When clothing was made from a sack,
With Miller's Delight on the front side
And Certain to Bake on the Back.
To my great astonishment, it had certainly never happened to me before, the large audience applauded in an almost euphoric expression of joy and affirmation. We all were going through so much, so much pain, and our values and certitudes and self-concept as Americans had been shaken to their roots. Yet the proud story of this pioneer woman gave us a transcendent moment of communion and celebration. Her message, encapsulated in this simple, charming poem, was a powerful image of our dignity and our values that no vicious terrorist could take away from us. It was so appropriate that this experience happened at a program sponsored by the Minnesota Humanities Commission, for fundamentally their mission is to help citizens learn about the shared values that despite our great diversity, bring us together as one.
For me as a teacher this was a uniquely exciting and meaningful experience. It made me think that the same spiritual resources that cause us to love and serve our students can help them (and us) to heal in a time of plague when the whole of society is shaken and anguished. The teacher has the unique capacity to turn the classroom into a place of healing. I was reminded of the son of Madame Curie, Pierre Joliot-Curie, who in German-occupied Paris in World War II would close the door to his classroom and say to his students, "Now we are free." In a time of plague we teachers are called upon to bear witness to shared values that give strength, comfort and solidarity to our students. There is no formula for this sort of civic bearing of witness, and there is certainly no precedent for how we felt and what we were going through in those dark days of September. Yet it seemed to me and to many that our students looked to us for this strength. Whether we were gathered around a V8 engine in a Technical College, around a chem lab bench in a Community College or in a lecture hall in a State University, our students looked to us for affirmation and healing, for reassurance about the shared values that are the underpinnings of our society. Hopefully, we never again will have to play this role for our students, but when called upon, it is certainly the proudest service of the teacher.
