They plan to put "the whole self

Smedberg said he favors the

movement before the people."
The draft is "the major issue

Editor's note: The following is
an article written by Bob Spann
of N. C. State for the university's
student newspaper, The Techni
cian. It was one of a series of
articles in which Spann discussed
the proper perspective of learn
ing within a gradepoint system.
"To Him I will bow and pray."
This sign hangs above the desk
of a prospective engineer trying
to "learn" his craft at State. It
is hung with as much reverence
as a sacred picture might be dis
played on a church wall.
Each morning and afternoon
he looks at it and gives it a rev
erent nod, for the magic number
is truly his god. He must con
stantly try to achieve its image.
He must constantly conform to
the standards the gradepoint god
sets for him. He must constantly
try to please the demi-gods of
books, quizzes, assorted facts,
test tubes and other heavenly ap
paratus that will give him the
grace to achieve the image of
this great god.

God of 2.0 determines whether or
not he will bo privileged to re

And what does he get with this
golden key ? It opens the door to
many wonders his parents may

definitely does not have. It will t

Grades, not learning are too

c"hool. The query "how did you

ever met with a reply such as

Students become addicted to
leasing the god of 2.0 or what

Unfortunately, instructors are

sually learns what will determ

However, this worship of
rades is not really surprising.

Grades determine whether or not
a student graduates, they deter
mine whether or not he will be
target practice for the Viet Cong,
they determine whether or not
he can participate in many stu
dent activities, they determine
whether or not a student can
take certain courses and make
many other decisions or the
average student.
The result of such a system is
inevitable. Learning fades into
the background. Students will do
anything to achieve the magic
grade. The amount of cheating
exposed (luring recent Air For"e
Academy scandals should not he
viewed with alarm or considered
uncommon. The only unusual
thing about them was the fact
that someone was honest enough
to blow the whistle.
