TODAY'S GOALS: to help students get and keep jobs: [1] time management; [2] Literacy, esp. ability to read and follow directions; [3] help students be more aware of emotional aspects of this first semester; [4] informal writing: how to write blogs for Discussion Boards and class discussion; [5] + To capture a of the university as a place, esp. the campus as an alma mater, a second home; To invoke the personal presences (ghosts, genius loci) embodied in place
TOPICS: emotional aspects of this first semester; life and death; diversity at U.T.
FEELING FRUSTRATED, OVERWHELMED, LOST? SADNESS OF EXILE FROM HOME AND CHILDHOOD, TRANSITIONING TO INDEPENDENCE?
FEELING STRESS FROM YOUR PERFECTIONISM?
FEELING STRESS OF FINANCIAL BURDENS, HAVING TO WORK WHILE IN SCHOOL?
FEELING STRESS OF ADJUSTMENT TO LIFE HERE, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE A MINORITY OR INTERNATIONAL STUDENT?
HAVING LEARNING PROBLEMS? Have you been diagnosed as learning disabled and/or in denial about this?
HAVING SELF-DESTRUCTIVE THOUGHTS? FEELING SUICIDAL? KNOW SOMEONE WHO IS? About 3500 students on this campus will have suicidal thoughts this year: about 500 will attempt suicide on this campus.
STRESS: Next problem: you are considered the pass-class-without-opening-a-book generation, but now you are without your helicopter parents to push you and you will not realize the academic danger you are in until the end of the first semester.
SOLUTIONS
1. It is essential that you follow our physician’s advice. For example, do not stop taking antidepressants, anti-anxiety, learning-disability etc. medications that were prescribed for you before you got here.
2. SUPPORT FROM COUNSELING CENTER: walk-in counseling, appointment counseling, groups, mind-body stress management lab, etc. You have already paid for eight visits to the counseling center. Why not use them? They can be far more important for creating a new self than any course on this campus.

TODAY'S GOALS:
ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT P1, discuss the idea of the university: composing a self, building character +
UNIVERSAL COLLEGE GOAL OF
learning to think, to connect:
"Only connect! . . .Live in fragments no longer.” E. M. Forster, Howards End (1910), ch. 22
‘One
day when I was twenty-three or twenty-four this sentence seemed to form
in my head, without my willing it, much as sentences form when we are half-asleep, ‘Hammer
your thoughts into unity’. For days I could think of nothing else
and for years I tested all I did by that sentence [...]” William Butler
Yeats (cited in Frank Tuohy, Yeats , 1976, p.51 )
[2] Our goal is thus also unity, of the self, of the self and others, of the self and nature, of one subject and another, etc.
[2A] This is a central principle of Newman’s Idea of a University, for Newman emphasizes again and again the necessity of synthesis, connection between the various courses and activities of university life, to achieve a strong sense of university education as the unity it is supposed to be rather than the fragmented multiversity it all too often is.

We will also expand the sense of “literature” to the meaning used in the science of semiotics: all of your world will be your textbook, including art, architecture, and landscapes.

Specific instructions for the DB
1] Read Tennyson's #123 (from (In Memoriam), which focuses on the firmament of time. This is the poem quoted on the south side of the Hogg building, referring to the time when this part of Texas was at the bottom of the sea. Relate to the quote from Eiseley's Firmament of Time.[2] Read "Evolution" on the debate between Darwinism and the literal interpretation of the Bible. Basically, the problem was the belief that fossils and multiple strata in the crust of the earth (more than seven) meant that Genesis could not be scientifically true if taken literally. This was not necessarily a problem for a Rabbi or a Jesuit priest, but fundamentalists, then and now, who insist on a literal interpretation of the Bible were and are troubled by this. [3] In that context read poem #56 (In Memoriam), written by Tennyson when speculated on the meaning of fossils in "scarped cliff and quarried stone." In this poem "type" means "species." As you can see, to him, fossils provide that species could become extinct, and thus according to the Darwinian interpretation, homo sapiens also could become extinct. If this is true, he feared, churches and organized religion based on the Bible could become meaningless and "love thy neighbor as thyself" reverts to the war among dinosaurs and other "dragons of the prime." Eventually he solved the problem in the same series of poems (In Memoriam), but this is a famous statement of the predicament.[4] Read our Darwin selections to see for yourself what Darwin said.
NOW MAKE YOUR DB ENTRY AN ANSWER TO THESE QUESTIONS, including a least one quote from Tennyson and at least one from Darwin:
In Memoriam and the Disappearance of God: Do you or do you not accept Tennyson's spiritual/moral/sentimental evolutionism as the solution to the Darwin vs. religion dilemma? Why or why not?
