Weingartner's book, Teaching As A Subversive Activity, coauthored by Neil Postman, has sold more than a, million copies, and has been translated to at least 10 foreign countries. The in fluential book proposes changes and different approaches in education which attempt to shift the emphasis in the roles of teacher and student. Weingartner received a B.A. and B.S. degree from Syracuse University and a doctorate from Columbia University. He has had broad experience in education, having taught in high schools and various Northeastern colleges, including Columbia. He is currently a Professor of Education at the University of South Florida at Tampa. Weingartner, however, clearly demonstrated that a lecture topic and a book by the same name must not necessarily coincide. The evening became a series of anecdotes, personal reminiscences and statistics. He began the very informal lecture to a near capacity audience in the B.A. Auditorium by repeatedly proclaiming, "I don't know whether I have anything worth saying." Weingartner named me present age, "The Age of Redefinition." He said if an institution wants to exist in our time it must redefine itself. He parodied this idea with an example of Peter's Lutheran Church in New York City. "They tore the old church down and redefined it as a condominum St n policies I church, more culturally oriented. They sold the church's air space to a neighboring company in order to bring about the redefinition. " Education must redefine itself in such a way that it may prepare young peoDle for a totally different world, he believes. A complete change must be made in the mode of education as it has the greatest effect on society. "Schools operate the same as they did in the fifteenth century, the days of the manuscript, in both method and function," he said. Weingartner characterized our way of thinking as "Old Think" and advocated "New Think". But no definition was offered for this term. He also supported a reversal to the ethical notion more is better to less is better and a return to nature. "It is not so much that we don't know enough as what we know is not true anymore," he said. There is a great amount of knowledge today but it is nor used to solve the problems of today." Weingartner evidenced our growing knowledge by predicting in the next century, the call cards in Yale's library will Edwards orga "Carolina Students for Ed wards," a newly formed political group to aid the candidacy of Charleston State Sen. James B. Edwards, has been recently for med on the. USC campus. Activities of the group, organizers said last week, will include canvassing, phoning, distributing literature and assisting at the polls election day.

As in his book, Weingartner discussed in the lecture, sponsored by the University Union's Ideas and Issues Committe. terms used in education. "Material is said to be 'covered' which means to be obscured. Students work for a degree to obtain this obscurity," he said. He said, this is in ine with The Vaccination Theory of Education "a subject is something you 'take' and when you have taken it, you have 'had' it, and if you have had it you are immune to 4 it and need not ake it again." A large portion of the lecture consisted of statistics relating the future growth of population, urban centers, and technological products. Weingartner said there will be such urban growth man will gain many more acquaintances but no depth or meaning to his relationships. "Man must learn to co-exist with the rural com munities," he said. But those who have not read Weingartner's book, no insight was given into it in his lecture, nor any reason why they should read Teaching As A Subversive Ac tivity.
