Crompton: students resocialized
"Schools have become vast factories
for the manufacture of robots," author
Robert Under said about 15 year ago.
Students are not educated, they are
"resocialized". Education's focus to
ward the job market, he continued,
limits a student's perspective on the
world.
Louis L. Crompton said he has defied
the ethic of specialization, pursuing
interests in science, music, literature
and social reform.
Crompton was graduated from the
University of Toronto with B. A. and
M.A. degrees in mathematics. In 1954,
he received his Ph.D. in English at
Chicago University. The following year,
the 49-year-old English professor came
to the University of Nebraska.
In literature, Crompton favors George
Bernard Shaw, whom he said "had a
broad range of interests." He is a
classical music enthusiast, preferring
Bach, Monteverdi and Mozart.
The trend in education to specialize
resulted from economic trends, accord
ing toCrampton.

Louis Crompton, UNL professor of
English, talks about recent trends
in education.
"It's a natural reaction to economic
ticket," he said. "It's a swing away
from the 60s downgrading of the
professional work ethnic."
. Students no longer downgrade the
pursuit of a career, he said.
"The student counterculture in the
1960s saw regular work or careersas
part of a cop out," he said. They
thought that by joining the system you
were limiting yourself." . ! .
Crompton said the exploring spirit of
the last decade has been replaced by
cynicism and disillusion. Many student
activists have shunned political involve
ment, although some have entered law
shcool, he said.
, "The revolution isn't around any
more because it worked as least as far as
the war was concerned, ne &aiu. m
unpopular as the unrest was, it worked.
And the country owes the colleges a big
debt." .
The books Crompton has written, he
evnlained. are critical writings. Proba
bly his best known book is "Shaw the
Dramatist , an anaiyuuai siuuy ui
Bernard Shaw compiled after six years
of work. He was awarded the Phi Beta
Kappa award for this book in 1969.
Crompton is writing .a, book on the
history of attitude's towards horhpse.xu-
ality. After twd years of work, CrPmpton
said the book is halfway finished. The .
first half of the book is concentrated
upon the development of legal attitudes
toward the homosexual,, religious proD
lems facing the gay person and the.
Crompton noted recent polls reveal
that students are more accepting of gay
people than a few years ago. The change
of attitude, he said, results from
national concern for minority rights. The
Women's Rights Movement opened the
issue of sexual oppression, according to
Crompton.
. "Through the gay liberatipa move
ment, sexism has become a concept
parallel to racism," he said. - , -
The American Psychiatric -Association,
Crompton said, helped the gay
liberation movement by ruling homo
sexuality was not a sickness.
For which of his accomplishments
does Crompton hope to be remem
bered? "I'll have to answer that 10 years
from now." he said.

Correction
In the Friday, Sept. 20,
issue of the Daily Neb
raskan, Leo Scherer of the
Housing Administration
inadvertently was mis
quoted. Scherer actually said
the Housing Administra
tion had no legal right to
evict the Lindells from
their home because of
religious inscriptions
painted on the house.
