Page "learned" Paragraph 462

Films were used, as with all sections, but with one big difference.

Our campus, unfortunately, owns no films.

Since they are all either rented or borrowed, the requested dates for their use have to be far in advance.

The writer never knew from week to week just where the section might be.

For example, the steering committee might announce that the group felt a topic under study should not be dropped for an additional week as there was still too much of it untouched.

Since the writer had established this democratic procedure in the beginning he had to go along with their decision -- after, of course, pointing out whether he thought their decision was a wise or an unwise one.

Thus the films seen as they came in ( coordinated for the regular sections ), were often out of context.

Nevertheless, the writer has never experienced such spontaneity of discussion after film showings.
