                         %CHANNELS OF COMMUNICATION 730910

     When   the    technocrat   considers   channels    of
communication  thoughts  are  likely  to  turn  to  radio,
television, cables,  microwaves, telephone,  etc,  wherein
there  are  various  possible  ways  of  ensymbolment  and
transmission of information.   Such is the dominant  focus
of information theory.  Consider, on the other hand, human
experience  and  various states of consciousness  and  the
ways  in  which  humans influence each other's  states  of
consciousness.   The channels of communication which  play
important roles are quite varied.   Most persons are aware
of  and  consciously  use written and  spoken words,   and
perhaps  hand  gestures.   Not  so many  people  would  be
inclined to at the same time consider body language,  body
contacts,  tone of voice, eye contact, facial expressions,
posturing,  contexts  of expressions,  odors,  absences of
expressions expected, etc. Human motivations, however, are
affected as much by non-verbal  communication as by verbal
communication.

     Decisions  and   actions  are  a   major   means   of
communication. Consider: use of time, selected priorities,
ways of setting priorities,  use of scarce resources, foci
of  attention,   and  unexamined  assumptions;   they  all
communicate  to  associates  some  messages  whose   power
exceeds that of most verbal messages.   If there are among
them  disparate  messages---they are a sign of a  lack  of
integrity and an invitation to play dishonest games. It is
the  total  communication  which  is  effective.    Hidden
messages may dominate.

     The teacher who gives unending assignments downgrades
the  importance  of  meditation  and  time  to think.   An
inflexible  course  structure  tells  students that  their
desires   and   unique  concerns  are  unimportant.    The
compulsive researcher  communicates a disinterest  in real
students.    The  systematic avoidance  of  sacrifice  and
suffering   communicates  a  selfish  nature  inclined  to
dependence upon techniques.

     The attractive scientist will work with real students
as  an  adult;   and  with  respect  for  their  emotional
responses  will  seek  to  facilitate  the  decisions   of
students in such a way that  they  will be  free to accept
new  questions  and insights which will be the  basis  for
later  helpful  political  action to  solve  real  persons
problems.   By being an incarnation with  integrity,   the
attractive   scientist's   total   communication  can   be
integrative with power to help students  become  liberated
through a liberal education.
