Carli tells of year By Guy Kennedy Morning tea at 10:30 and afternoon tea at 3:30 were some of the adjustments Angelo Carli, Palomar English instructor, had to make in his daily routine during his tenure at Neville's Cross College_ in Durham, England. "And they take their tea seriously," Carli said, a smile playing at the tips of his heavy mustache. " Instructors showed up for tea even when they had no classes scheduled for that day." The past year spent teaching in the small college in Northeast England on an exchange program gave Carli and hi s family a new pe rspective on life. Shopping was a chore. Meat could only he purchased at the butcher's and vegetables at the green grocers, hut according to Carli's English friends , "It makes life a hit more intimate," when one deals with the same people on a daily basis, sees the same faces on the streets, and treads the same narrow walks. But Mrs. Carli remained unconvinced of the total value, "She had better things to do than to spend much of every day shopping for food and necessities," Carli explained . Neville's Cross is one college in a complex of higher learning institutions in and around Durham. It was named for a battle fought between the Brit-
ish and Scots in the area. "Durham is basically a medieval city, complete with an ancient castle and a beautiful cathedral commissioned b} William the Conquerer in 1068," Carli reminisced. "But the same beautiful quaintness caused problems . For instance, all the inner city streets are very narrow. Consequently, if a car should meet a lorry on some of those streets, one of them has to drive up on the sidewalk in order to pass. This spells trouble for unwary pedestrians . .-\nd the sidewalks themselves, are only wide enough for one person to walk on comfortably. '' "In order to shop, one had to park in a lot and walk downtown, make only those purchases you cou ld get into your shopping hag and take it back to your car. Then repeat the performance throughout the shopping trip. Or e l se end up with more parcels than one could safely carry . " he said with a slow s haking of his head. "And the variety of fresh vegetables were limited, though the meat was quite good and plentiful. :\1y wife never wants to look at another brussel sprout." As to the fam il y's accomodations: "It was a fine old home, about 70 years old, with 10 rooms and an oil-fired central heating plant. There were electric heaters al so, in the public roomstHe living and dining rooms," he quick-
ly corrected with a smile. And the language problem? "None, as long as the natives didn't revert to the local dialect!" His eyes twinkled. ''But I did have trouble communicationg with young children, and with the local euphemisms. For instance, a canny lad is a nice guy." "I didn't have any difficulties fitting into things, as the staff had planned well and was most helpful. I also had good friends on the faculty and they were all great aids ." As a comparison of Neville's Cross to Palomar? "First of all, eville's Cross had only 600 to 700 students and they all lived on the campus. That alone made it easier to plan anything out of the ordinary. The students only had to come out of their digs to class, no matter where on campus you wanted them to be at the appointed time. Second, Nevi lle's Cross specialized in training teachers. Students were there on a three year program which led to a certificate qualifying the individual to teach at elementary and secondary schools. The student could go on to get a degree, with an additional year's study at Neville's Cross, under the supervis ion of a university. But few . students went that far." "Also, most of the students were girls with grades of B's and C's," he smiled ,

then went on to explain. "English students take national exams, called Al evel exams. How the individual places on these exams really determines the type of higher education available. For instance, in order to get to Oxford, grades of at least 2A/1B would be necessary.'' What was the academic atmosphere like? "Good. There are more social barriers in England, and the relationship between students and instructors is more strict, due simply to custom . For instanc e, in sports cricket is understood to be the 'posh' students' game; socce r, the workingman's 'go.' Horseracing, however . belongs to everyone." "On the campus, itself, a student has to make an appointment to talk with an instructor about anything s pecial. There is not as much informa lity between the staff and students. Everyone is certainly most friendly toward each other, but there is a recognized and accepted distinction between them,~ Carli's eyes twinkled and his face brightened, "But the instructor can quite often finish before being interrupted!" His thick brows knitted. "Freshmen students, however. were generally very hesitant and quiet when asked to express what they thought about classroom material. The question would go out and silence would reign. Sometimes
I would wait them out. Eventually someone would shuffle to their feet, another would cough, and finally I would get a timid response . But once things began to move .. . " "But, this was more a reflection of the British high school system than a result of college discipline. As few students explained to me, in high school, most of them had been lectured to, and were not expected to share in discussions . '' Was he able to make any side trips? "Oh yes. we made four expeditions to the continent. We camped out on one, camped part of the time on another until I over- inflated the pump- up type tent. We made every place in Western Europe except Scandinavia and Spain. We just ran out of time," he elaborated. "And I was able to visit my grandmother in Italy." And what happened to the well known Carli example of male hirsuteness? He chuckled. "I had intended to shave my beard off before we left. last year. But my passport picture contained it, so I was stuck with it until I returned. But I'm glad I waited; my daughter laughed at my bare face, my son wept, but my wife likes it! I wonder what the reaction would have been at Neville's Cross? Back here I've even been overontinued on page 2)
