The author is not frustrated but rather passionate enough to believe his bias can catalyze a solution to a stalemate that holds the evolution of higher education in a stalemate. Lack of frustration comes from success - the limited local success The continued in the State of North Carolina of one solution to the problem. success of this solution will depend on the solution of the exchange problem which we will attempt to define. The general problem has already been clearly Instructional The problem set out in the Rand Corporation report, "The Emerging Technology, Uses of the Computer in Higher Education," Roger Levlen, et. al. 1 will be defined, the one local solution described, and a proposal made for beginning a national solution. I.
