STUDENTS MUSTHAVE SAY IN CURRICULUM

No one would deny that students play an important part in the learning that takes place in Schreiber. F ew would deny that we students have a valid perspective on education that no one else has. Yet many would deny the logical conclusion that we should have a voling part in deciding curr iculum.

The basic argument of the "den ie r s " is that "teachers, because of their experience, know what's best for students." However, if a teacher truly does have proof that his suggestion is superior to a stu-dent's, and if he is a good teacher, he should be able to communicate his point to the students. In this way, a Hoh;Ue on curriculum would be a debate of the issues '" '•oAed. rather than the credentials of the debaters. If

d?as are sound.they should stand on their own, and not need a B. A. or M. A. as a crutch. If a teacher cannot communicate his suggestion to the students, he either has no proof or he is not a good teacher.

Another reason why some would deny students the r i ^ t to vote on a curr iculum committee is that Schreiber is an "educational institution" and teachers are "professicMials who are not out to sell their fields to the public." People who state this are missing the point of education. School has for too long been a place divorced from our " l i f e . " It has been a place where we "[N'epare for the future." School should mean some-thing NOW. It should help us to live better lives today, as well as tomorrow. F o r this to happen, students must have a say in what they are to learn for W E know best

' — -whaf is important to us.

It is only in this way that school can be a part of our lives rather than apart from our lives.

To the Editor The recent Student-Faculty

Board Commiltee to review the marking system w a s a complete failure and entirely missed the point. As a member of the committee. 1 knew at the outset exactly whal our problem would be, but I hadtiopesof solving it. The basic prob lem in our meetings was one of objectives. Several members of the com-mittee felt that we were at-tempting to perfect a mechnical system for the translation of averages and similar means of evaluation to one letter grade on each report card. Some others felt that the goal of t h e commiltee was to fully analyze not the mechanical process of grading but the actual process of the judgement of a student's work-how a teacher would look at the wortt of a student and then assign the proper evaluation to it.

[ have always fell that it is useles.s to discuss how our present system works because it IS based on a method of evaluation that 1 believe is the real problem The question is one of what a leacher expects from a student in a given course to warrant a specific judgement on Its merit. Methods of judgement vary from class to class, from subject to subject, and even vary within one class itself.

Whal the committee should have applied itself to was how to determine a system of evaluation not one of number to let ter translation as we have today. Basically, the present system is not based on individual students bul on a comparison of class members , invo l v ing numbers

A program of speakers, f i lms, and seminarssimilar to that used last October on Moratmium Day, is now t>eing planned. The day wi l l be concerned with such problems as the pollution of a ir . land, and water; overpopulation; the destruction of our natural resources; as well as the at-titudes of students in relation to these problems.

and letters. 1 felt the committee should have looked at this mechanical process as having its roots in a system thai is totally ambiguous about the way it judges an individual's work. In fact, teachers should publicize their methods of evaluatiixi by department or ind i v i dua l l y . Hopefully, a new committee w i th more power than this old one w i l l

To the Edi lors. The March 4th issue of the

Schreiber Times contains an e d i t o r i a l "We Mus i Choose Pr inc ipa l , " in which the editors express their view thai students are not getting enough power in the selection of a new principal. The ed i t o r i a l ends, " M r McGuigan-either give us the power as qualified citizens of Schreiber to choose our own leaders or force us to admit that democracy has no part in today's wo r ld . " Giving students total control over selection of the principal, apparently what the Times suggests, is in fact not democratic Parents (the ones who arepajtne) must have a voice in determining who runs the schools.

Perhaps the Times did not really mean to request total control over principal selection, yet it CO Ins iders the present system mere l y a " s o p . " I disagree. The views of the student committee wi l l be taken into account by McGuigan and, if rejected, we wi l l st i l l have the oppor tun i t y to present those views directly to the Board of Education. Of all things said

continuing its innovative policy, has again widened the range of subjects for senior Eng l i sh electives. New Courses for the fourth marking period are:

"Smiles, Chuckles, and Belly L.aughs." taught by Mr. Broza period 3, wi l l examine dramatic comedies of the past four cen-turies in conjunction with essays which explain the nature of com-edy. The instructor promises not a few of each of the responses mentioned in the course title.

The Creative Person." taught by Mr . Mock and Mr . Bocarde period 3. wi l l crffer a study of a se-lection of works of art in various media The goal is to establish any possible common ground on which the artist stands with other a r t i s t s despite the i r v a r y ing forms of creative expression.

"Russian L i ters t t i re , " taught by Miss Starkman period 3, wi l l examine worts by Dostoevski, Lermontov, Turgenev and Yev-tu&benko.

Grading System (Continued from page 1)

to discuss the present grading system M r . Al len and M r Bartels in an effort to coordinate these movements formed the "Committee for the Reevaluation of the Grading System.

By the lack of attendance of the meetings of the committee one must conclude one of three things the grading system we have now is perfect and needs no adjustment, no one gives a damn about i t , or the real issue is

about the Board, no one has ever termed i t a n]l>ber stamp body, and our views would get a secorid hearing

Eight percent of ttie school voted in the election for student representatives to help choose the new principal. Two of ttte candidates won by the margin of their own vote. One of the win-ners received exactly thirteen votes, not an outpour ing of support. The significance of these statistics is obvious to a l l : no representaUve on the committee can c la im to t>e a qualified representat ive of the 1600 students of Schreiber

I cannot argue with the Times point that the students of Schreitier are qualified to in-fluence the decision of a new principal. But to suggest that five students, appointed by 130 of the colleagues tie given thepowerto name a new principal is the height of pomposity. A l l power to al l the people!

Sincerely yours, Tom Wood

Hdltors ' Reply

Mr. Wood need only read the editorial he is criticizing to find the answers to his poorly rea-•oned arguments However, •Ince his flrst reading failed him. we w i l l help h im the secraid time through.

'Hie March 4 editorial in no way •uggested that we be given total control over selection of the principal. The editorial merely, stated tha t ) " i t is time...to...demand a voice in the actual choosing." With the help of a dictionary. Mr Wood can find for himself that "a voice ' and " tota l control " are not synon-yms.

Mr Wood's suggestion thai the Board tA Education will hear us if the Superintendent wiU not is also answered by the edilorial ilaetf. Like Mr McGuigan's offer, i l "promises us evaything yet guarantees nothing " Any Junior High >ii stor^ student knows that dictators promise to "consider" recommendations. Democracy begins when rights are guaran-teed.

Mr Wood then dodges the issue by claiming that the poor (nroout at the polls invalidated the Sec-tion of representatives In actual-i ty, the election was invalid be-fore the polls even opened It is easy to see that students didn't vote tiecause they knew that their vote carried no weight. Until the Superintendoit is serious about our right to vote, who can expect us to be serious about our responsibility to vote?

Ut>es si'hool always have to be a drag? Mr. Leon (ioutevenier of the science department is trying to prove thai it doesn't. He in planning a "school within a s c h i H i l " project for next year whichwii l experiment with many ol Ihe ideas Schreiber students have been suggesting recently.

Mr. Uoutevenicr seems to be dmng away with al l the standard, worn out ideas of education in favor of a fresh approach. First tu go IS the traditional format of same classes, same teachers, same lectures eveiT day. In-stead. Mr. Goulevemr is planning small group sessions run by students in which ihey can discuss and explwe topics cf itieir own choosing.

Unte a week, all the students wil l meet in large group sessions. These wil l serve as the basis for furltier exploration by the in-dividual small groups. Rather than have the same teactter give the lecture each t ime. Mr . Goutevenier wi l l use a team teaching pr t^ram in which each teacher w i l l talk about his specific field.

In line with the aims of giving the individual a chance to do things on his own. much of the time now taken up by regular classes wil l be Free to the students in ttte project. Among the opportunities available to them in this l ime wi l l be the use of science laboratories, history and Knglish resource centers, as well as the cafeteria. Teachers wil l be required to tie available during Ihe day lo hear questions, ideas, and complaints.

Conventional fact tests would be very impractical (or this proposed system, so testing wi l l be much less rigid Instead of tlie often used pattern of lecture, me in or iza lion, and regurgitation on an exam. Mr. Goutevenier hopes lo have a broad based system which would a l low students to simply explore a particular area of interest to them, and then show their un-derstanding of It on the test. This meanp that each student may explore different angles of a problem, but that everyone can

In past years there has been a lot of talk about modular schedul ing especial ly in reference to the proposed new high school. Mr. Goutevenier ol the Science Depar tment has organised ttie school within a school program, to see how i t would work . I t w i l l involve students who wi l l be Sophomores inanaverage track next year. A l l of the i r classes would be scheduled in a modular system. Their teachers would al l eat at Ihe same time so ttiey could confer, and further co-ordinale the system. The experiement w i l l try to develop student respon-sibility in making them see and understand what Itiey must do. and how much lime they' l l need for it The student wi l l have the responsibihty of learning placed squarely on his shoulders, the teachers wi l l merely help him lo help himself. I t wi l l also be an education, in d<.3CUssion making and class conduct ing . The students wi l l actually be con-ducting their own classes. The project welcomes suggestions from students now enrolled in Schreiber. Ihough they wi l l not be participating in it next year. Upinions on how to run small and large group discussions, avoiding personal i ty conf l ic ts . and keeping large group lechires wi ih in certain guidelines wi l l be appreciated. Faculty wi l l also want opinions from the students participating in the experiment atl i lude tests that wi l l be given, and trends in reaction wi l l be noted. The program wi l l keep the current curricul ium as it is. h<iwever teachers wi l l have time lo meet and plan tc^ether so the lessons wi l l be co-ordinated, and not contradict or over lapr Though the program is sti l l in planning, the future of modular schedul ing in Fort Washington wi l l probably depend on its

take tite same test on general understanding.

Mr. Goutevenier expects to incorporate h is tory , science, ma th , and Eng l i sh in to Ihe program. Each student wi l l be allowed to apply his specific lalenl to whatever tte is studying. For instance, if a student's main interest lies in creative writ ing, tie would be free to write a poem concerning the main biological concepts he is exploring.

The "school witt i in a school" project may be the beginning of a similar program for Ihe whole district, so it w i l l be serving as a pi lot s tudy for f lex ib le scheduling.

But for the present, the idea is to give ttte student more freedom of self expression in his studies and above all . as Mr. Goutevenir sums it a l l up. " T o really learn how lo learn,"

Scientific Study "A School within a School" is

the title of the new program started by Mr. Goutevenier for next year. The purpose of the pr t ^ ram is lo determine sci-entifically whether students wi l l respond more positively to an educational program based on modular scheduling. For this reason, Mr . Goutevenier is using Sophomores who have not yet been exposed to the teaching sys-tem at Schreiber.

Bomb Threat Rankin Investigates School Disruptions

In tbe past week, there have tieen bomb scares at Schreiber High School, Wet>er Junior High School, Sousa Junior High School, St. Mary ' s High School in Manhasset. He r r i cks High School, and numerous other secondary schools. So far this year, there have t>een ttiree bomb threats at Schreiber alone. The result each time has been con-Tusion and tbe disruption of classes. Since a l l Schreiber students are personally affected by each tramb scare, it is im-perative that we learn how our administration and police force are handling this problem.

There liave l>een eight bomb threats in Port Washington this year. A l l of them have been directed at public schools. Most of the calls have occurred in the morning and have been received al the Port Washington Police station.

After receiving a call at their switchl>oard which says that "there's a bomb at Sclveil>er," the Por t Washington pol ice immediately notify Mr. Allen and send a special a larm to the fire department. The police also call the Nassau County 6th Squad Detectives who instantly send out a specially trained t>omb dLsposal team. When tbe firemen arrive at Schreiber they wait outside of the building- this is because the search is a police matter and they are there only in case a bomb goes off.

The P w t Washington police call in as many available men as possible for the search. The school is completely evacuated of al l people except for Mr. Allen, the police, and the custodians. "Hte custodians assist in the search by opming every locker and by their knowledge of the school's lay out The main things that the police search (or are packages and they check every possible place whore a bomb could be concealed: lockers, desks, closets, etc. Hiey search the school by areas - first, they check out the wing wtiere the cafeteria and auditorium are located; second, ttaey search the gym; and th i rd they then covo' the rest of the school. Tbe resMO behind the proc«kB:e is so that tbe students and teachers can be b r o u ^ t back into Uie school and be able to w«it in tbe cafeteria.

auditorium, and gym unti l the rest of the school has been thoroughly searched. So far. no tximb has been found in any of the bomb scares although Chief of Police Rank in of the Port Washington Police Department remarked that during a bomb scare this past week at Schreiber, a one-half gallon container with a wick stuck in the top and a sign saying acid on the outside was found in a student locker. For-tunately, i t was discovered that the liquid inside was only water. I f a bomb is ever found in Schreiber, though, the principal, custodians, and police would t>e cleared from the building Then the special squad of Nassau County detectives would take over and be in ctiarge of disposing of the bmnb.

Up to now. the police have very few leads as to who are making these bomb threats. I I has been impossible for them lo learn if one person has been making the calls or many different pec^le. Since the callers have only said a few words and then hung up. the police tiave had no opportunity to trace the ca lb . When asked what the police are doing to investigate these bomb scares. (Thief Hankin replied, "We've tteen talking to students and teachers and are keeping an eye on tbe absei^ee l is ts . " If the tximb threats con-tinue and are numerous wwugh. Chief Rankin stated that "We wiU lock in our 5witcht>oard so that we can tell where the calls are coming from. Ttiis device locks tbe phone even though the caller hangs up. Ttien we can trace the ca l l . " Chief Rankin went on to de5crit)e how this same device caught a Great Neck South student who had been making biHnb threaU. Mr. Allen has stated that school ofricials are keeping an eye on the telefdiones in the school lo make sure none at tbe threats are phoned in fnnn inside of school building.

I t is quite apparent people pbooing in threats are doing it sole cmfuaion i t creates threats contimte tftfphnfM. lock-in devices can easily be installed in the school and pobce switchboards.

Spring Sports: Outlook Encouraging Only Two Lettermen From Championship

Baseball Squad Remain The outlook this y ea r is a question mark . The defending North

Shore Champs only retain two players From last yea r ' s team. Those two a re the co-captains. Kev in Beck and John Y a k a c k i . The re are many juniors and sophs going out. who are inexperienced bul show talent

Some Seniors who h a v e made the team include: John Rob intm. B i l l Hoover. Al Schwabe. Mike H y m a n . and Dennis I.ukens

Juniors who have gained a berth a r e : L a r r y Wurzel. Randy Shea . Jon Gould, Tony PontiUo. Randy Wal l . J a c k Roth, and Mike Malewicki .

Coach Cul ler has a rule that unless a Sof^omore starts , he won't m a k e the Varsity . Instead he wil l play on the J . V . (or " seasoning" . F i v e Sophs who are making a good showing a r e : Mike Cannon. J i m Cosoiilo, Andre I^obanoff, Steve Laber , and Dave Spann

On the general the league wil l be weaker this year , with other teams, l ike Port , losing key players. P la inview Kennedy, usually a strong team, is not in our division anymore , and has t>een replaced by Pla inview

Port certainly has no lack of talent. T w o North Shore C h a m -pionships in three yea rs , and the amount of Sophs and Juniors coming up guarantee a strong team for the next few yea r s .

Blue Blazers Seek Championship

A t e a m i s bui lt a r o u n d a nucleus of the sironger per-formers. Th i s nucleus is ex-tremely strong this year and promises to car ry Port to many wins. The most superior is Kevin Rc i l ly , the team's superstar tor the last three years . I-ast year, running a s a Junior in the half-mile, he was secwid in the Stale. Th i s year he is almost a sure l>ol lo go undefeated and grab the number one rating that eluded him last year . Another standout IS Steve LAjbar. Despite his smal l stature be is a very hard worker and can be counted on for a two-

mUe victory in almost any meet. Josh Heller leads the sprinters Hf! is tremendously fast, c an run with anybody, and should pile up plenty of points for Schreiber .

Tracic Has Winning Outlook

Reilly - all round athlete

With the best turnout in years , prospects for a fine season a re bright. And with most of the prospects from the Sophomore c lasses the outlook for the future years a re even brighter. I t is st i l l ear ly and time trials have not been held yet and our jumping runways a re stil l wet so we wi l l have to wait for a good look. A veteran »rf which much is ex-pected is Kev i n Rei l ly . second in the State 880 last year, who can run anything from 220 yards to 2 miles and be a winner. B i l l O 'Keefe looks good in high and low hurdles and Wayne While 's good points a re the low Inirdles, the pole vault, and sprints. Josh Hel ler should handle the 100 and 220 and run a leg on the relay. Steve Lubar , is much improved from last year a s evidenced by his Cross Country season, wil l score in the 2 Miles. J a y Kugler had a 56 quarter indoor and wil l helpas wi l l T o m Wood in the 880. Roger Weaver, Andy Zaremba. Pete PesUlozz i , Bob Hylas and Bob G u m a u g h wi l l handle the distances and should do a good job. Sophomores that a r e promising - Ph i l K levan . Discus , s p r i n t s a n d h igh jump.

Band Concert (Continued from page 1)

fourth IS a celebrated march known to many a s the theme of the Lone RangVr Afler this was the first movement of the Con-certo in C Major for o b o e by Johann F i scher . A challenging work, it was flawlessly per-formed by Bob Falkowitz, who is the first chair oboist in tMth the band a n d ihe o r c h e s t r a . Fol lowing this was another major work, the F ina l e from the Fifth S y m p h o n y by S h o s t a k o v i i c h . B e g i n n i n g wi th a powerfu l opening, a quiet middle section, and a mass ive ending, this is one of the most impressive and challenging works in the band's repertoire

After the intermission which followed, attention was shifted to a new organization, the stage band. Fo rmed this year under the direction of Mr Howard Winslow and the leadership of Steve Oldford. the stage band is one of the most fantastic groups around. P laying such popular pieces a s "Spinning Wheel , " " F a k i n ' I t . " and " Ind ian Lady , " the stage twnd was a greal success Afler Ihe stage band finished the regular band played a Spanish style piece cal led " A l l e g r i a " by Rober t P e a r s o n . Next c a m e another specia l number, this time featuring the percussion section Coached by Mr Albert Poll ick, this group played a piece

ca l led ' -3 Brothers . "

Directed by Mr Christopher, band a lumnae were invited to come join the band
