During her 16 years here she has taught Russian . history, Asian civilization, American foreign relations, international relations and beginner survey courses. “I found that lecture-teach ing was not helping the student learn as much as they could. So I developed the polylogue method,” she said. The polylogue form of teach ing requires the student to orally participate in discussions relating to assigned reading or from topics brought up by the professor. “I consider myself as a cat alyst in the classroom,” she said. Loretta Besa, a freshman computer science major from Eagle Pass, said Unterberger’s classes are interesting. “She incorporates open dis cussion during class, and every one feels free to express their own opinion,” she said. “Dr. Unterberger relates problems in history with everyday prob lems today. It makes it a lot eas ier to understand.” Unterberger said she tries to make the student think in her classes. “History is more than memorizing dates and battles,” she said. Melisa Welborn, a junior Ag ricultural Education major from Shiner, said Unterberger’s classes are challenging. “If I had taken a class like this when I was a freshman, I know I would have been more pre pared for other classes,” she said. Unterberger said she plans her classes carefully. “I want to inspire my students to develop their own views and decisions.” Craig Thornes, a freshman from Irving, said that a lot of preparation must be done for her class. “She acts as a chair man and directs our class dis cussions about the assigned readings,” he said. tant issues and personalities in history. “You know, history is peren nial — the questians are always the same. Therefore, the more . . . a student is brought into un derstanding history, the more wisdom is acquired.” Her unique method of teach ing has made her well-known. The Ford Foundation has sent her to many universities and colleges across the nation to dis cuss and teach her polylogue method. Outside the classroom, Un terberger enjoys reading po etry, philosophy, and writing historical books and papers. She currently is revising a 1,300-page manuscript to be published this year entitled “The United States, Austria- Hungary and the Rise of Czechoslovakia, 1914-1920: A Study of International Politics.” Unterberger said her teach ing philosophy is to introduce historical information to the students by incorporating a thoughtful contrast of ideas and views in class discussions. “I try to teach what a book can’t,” she said. “I want my stu dents to reflect on the impor- In June, Unterberger and three other historians will travel to Russia to present scholarly papers on an aspect of twen tieth century diplomacy in So- viet-American Relations at the Fifth Colloquium of the Ameri can Historical Association and the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sci ence in Kiev. The delegation, headed by George Kennan, an ambassador and authority on Soviet affairs, will be the first American group of historians invited to Russia in the 20th century. NISSAN .

Scientists: Deathst( doomed dinosaui United Press International BERKELEY, Calif. — Scientists say an as yet undiscovered “deathstar” tliat showered the earth with comets 28 million years ago probably rid the planet of dinosaurs and other prehistoric forms of life. It will happen again, they said, but not for another 15 million years. In a report to the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, the re searchers from the University of California at Berkeley said they used evidence from fossils, rare metals and ancient impact craters dotting the earth to ex plain why certain species of life have become extinct at regular intervals over the past hun dreds of millions of years. The scientists describe the star as a “dwarf,” or smaller star, which orbits in space as a companion to the sun and takes 26 million years to complete one orbit. They conceded they 8 THEATRES Mon-Fmly Nlte-Sch 6 Tue-Fmly NUe-MEIII Student Disc. M-W $2 with i.D. have only indirect evident 1 the star exists.
