Cuban By FRED MONK Staff Writer separation from one's country can only be a thought in the minds of many people, but for Professor Luis Quesada it has been a reality for eight years. The Spanish teacher is one of many Cubans who fled to the United States in the wake of Castro's changeover to communist policies. And he, like his fellow refugees, feels very strongly on the issues concerning the revolu tion and present Cuban situation. Quesada said that the eight years of separation from Cuba has given him a more realistic outlook on how his homeland might be liberated from Castroism. 0 CA 661 11l6 CLP~RrtT TNA S6\jD 6F TbM's vot c , -TIEO Tb foLAaw Yaur iA orii A SHRIUkD 6XE(T a ur CoULD '1415 SC &r :r 'UIPPED 6\1E R. rr 5 GURfI- DR%l I CRUSTYVI RARD', 0d41f telyaw!

"Large classes force an instructor - to be better organized," he said. "I give printed lecture outlines to my classes." "Most of the problem with large classes is students who are used to high school. They feel alien ated. For some people it's a bar rier that can't be overcome." Mitchell blamed students for communication difficulties be tween teachers and classes. "I make myself available, but stu dents don't respond." The gray-bearded teacher said he expected more from his stu dents. "The only real education is self-education. The only way to become self-educated is to actively enter the process." If a student is looking for an swers, Dr. Mitchell went on, he can develop the skills necessary to find the answers. n Comprehensive STROLOGICAL RT- JUST $7 or printed general sum your sun sign.

Lpplied mathematics to jun ior nfgineering s:udents. "Math is the most im por ant <h >arhitment to develop on campus or science," he said. " I l ike to how the students the role that dgebra plays in applied math.i Cormally' calculus is the tood of he engineer. 'I feel that if a student has een how something is done he cani to on by himself. I try to teach hem to go beyond what they're ooking at." l'ormne ly a teacher a'. the t. S. Sw al Academy, Cicero said he ad found many junior engineer - ng students at USC who are more ntelligent than Naval Academy n en. "I don't require everyvhody to~ vork at the same rate, and I lon't think you can judge a man >y his grades. How he carries imself and how he approaches hings is more important. If he as high grades, you can expect omething. If he has low grades, lon't stop looking." Cicero said he enjoys teaching. 'There's a never ending challenge n this business. We can't become tagnant. "Appreciating math is as much un as a ball game. I show stu lents the things that are around hem all their lives, things that tre not obvious. I try to get hem comfortable with four ili nensions." Now in his fourth year of teach ng at USC, Cicero said there v'ere tremendous problems in ombining graduate studies with eaching. "You have to prepare 'or a class you have never taught ef ore, in a field you are not amiliar with. You have to go by he book, yet you find it's not ractical to follow every idea in he text."
