Before and After (V): Bildungsnotstände - Oder: Jim Morrison ohne Studienplatz
Ein - in vielerlei Hinsicht - wunderbares Fundstück:
This video is in the public domain. It's a clip of Jim Morrison that was discovered among films that WFSU (a PBS station operated by Florida State University) had donated to the state of Florida in 1989... The video was shot in 1964 (!!!).
In the FSU promotional film, Morrison is seen walking to a mailbox and opening a letter. He stops suddenly with his leg thrust forward as a voice-over says, "We regret to inform you that we are unable to accept your application."
A little while later, Morrison is in a university office, dressed in a jacket and tie and questioning authority.
"We would like to accept you," Morrison is told. "Indeed, we'd like to offer more courses, more sections, but we just don't have the space, that together with the lack of professors."
"But what happened?" Morrison asks. "How come my parents, and the state and the university didn't look ahead?"
James Morrison later dropped out of FSU to attend the University of California Los Angeles film school. And the rest, as they say, is history! :)
Gleichzeitig in einer anderen Gegend der Welt: GEORG PICHT alarmierte ... die bundesdeutsche Öffentlichkeit mit der Warnung vor einer Bildungskatastrophe": Wenn nicht sofort Notmaßnahmen ergriffen würden, könnte spätestens 1970 nur noch die Hälfte der Lehrerstellen an den Volksschulen besetzt werden. Auch die Zahl der Abiturienten und der Studienräte müsse verdoppelt werden, um - nach zwei Weltkriegen - den "dritten großen Zusammenbruch der deutschen Geschichte in diesem Jahrhundert" zu verhindern (SPIEGEL 31/1964). DER SPIEGEL 34/1965
Vgl. aktuell z. B.: Kritik an Hochschulpakt „300 000 Studienplätze fehlen“
