Actually, many of them are go- ing out to teach in the "combat zones of the inter-city," where the instructor comes face to face with the "culturally alienated" - the Negro, the Puerto Rican, Mex- ican, the poor whites in the large cities, he asserted. The average white teacher comes from a middle class back- ground, attends middle c 1 a s s schools and as a result expects to teach "the Pepsodent kid," the middle class student. Negro Teacher The situation is far different for the Negro teacher, Prof. Gottlieb pointed out. Unlike the white teacher, 70 per cent of the Negro teachers come from the inner, city. Thirty per cent had no father in the home, as compared to only four per cent for the white teach- ers, he added. 'The different backgrounds and expectations result in different perceptions of the school situation, Prof. Gottlieb noted. A recent study revealed that among these teaching in the inner city, the most dissatisfied were the whites, especially those with middle class backgrounds. The dissatisfaction increased with years spent in the classroom, he said. In contrast, Negro teachers were happier in their jobs, only 26 per cent of them asking for more in- tensive teacher training while in school; 62 per cent of the white teachers made the same sugges-- tion, he explained. Reasons for dissatisfaction were quite different for Negro and white teachers, Prof. Gottlieb said. Among Negro teachers, complaints were usually directed toward "sys- tem factors," 70 per cent calling for more and better materials and facilities. White teachers, on the other hand, blamed dissatisfactions on human factors, 75 per cent regis- tering that complaint, he added. When teachers from different schools throughout the country were asked opinions of their all- Negro kindergarten and first grade c l a s s e s, discrepancies between white and Negro teacher reactions ranged as high as 56 per cent, Prof. Gottlieb reported. Divided Opinions Negro teachers listed them as fun loving, cooperative and ambi- tious, in that order. White instruc- tors, however, said that the Negro children were lazy, easy going and rebellious, he said. A similar phenomenon takes place with adolescent Negro stu- dents, Prof. Gottlieb said. While there is no great problem in all- Negro or all-white schools, the Negro student in the inter-racial integrated school is less likely to perceive the white teacher as hav- ing the desire to help him attain his goals, although he does see the teacher as one who has the abiilty to help him attain them, he explained. The study from which he took his data is still in progress, and further research should help clar- ify the why behind the results. PTP PRESENTS--The Professional Theatre Program will present "A Man for All Seasons" at Hill Aud. on Friday, Feb. 14, one week in advance of the date originally scheduled.

ACADEMIC REVISION: Group Considers Distribution Changes Commit Continued from Page 1) work may be added as the labora- tory expands its administrative and research structure. Structural details of the rela- tionship between the special edu- cation program of the education school and the laboratory have not yet been determined. A re- search program description set- ting forth the internal and ex- ternal administrative structure will be determined about the end of March, Prof. Melvyn Semmel of the education school said. "With the emphasis. on envir- onmental control and the inter- est in the adaptive behavior of the retardate, the laboratory gives us an opportunity to train both re- search and service personnel in special education," Prof. Semmel added. "We are willing and would com- mit ourselves to direct involve- ment in conducting research in a number of areas. For example, the core of our research program might be studies of the role of attention in retardates and the interaction of retardates within a classroom situation," he fur- ther added. However, the optimism for this project "doesn't preclude an equal interest in other programs" at the University and in the school sys- tems of the neighboring coun- ties, Prof. Semmel said. Behavorial scientists fell into two basic groups regarding their opinions on the degree of their relationship with the medical pro- fession. Some favor a close rela- tionship, emphasizing the fact that the great breakthroughs in knowledge of mental retardation have been made through medical research. Others favor a looser relation- ship. They stress contact with medicine to keep retardates heal- thy and to provide case informa- tion and say that the discoveries of medical research affects only the 15-20 per cent of retardates whose conditions are organical- ly originated. "There is a thin line where certain behavorial research ends and where medical research be- gins," Dale Brethower, research (Continued from Page 1) might be annoyed to find rela- tively unprepared "free-lancers" in their courses, he said. Finally, the adjustments re- quired by the trimester and the last change in distribution re- quirements-only two years ago- make further reform hard to get approved; the faculty may take a "wait and see" attitude, Prof. Gra- bar commented. Reading Period The idea of a one-week reading period, replacing the last week of classes, is "due to a feeling a lot of people had" that the new calen- dar, because it has "no interrup- tions", puts students under greater Elect Phillips AIESEC Head Kenneth Phillips, Grad, was elected national president of the Association Internationale for the Exchange of Students in Econom- ics and Commerce at the national conference held in Ann Arbor last Sunday.

At present there is no reason why an individual instructor or department can't establish a read- ing period, but it is seldom done, he explained. The committee may recommend that the standard lit- erary college calendar be changed to include a reading period-but that it leave instructors and de- partmen s free to deviate from it by holding classes. "All we can do is say it's our feeling that this would be a good thing. We can neither force it nor prevent it, but we can suggest so- lutions," Prof. Grabar commented. System Changes Changes in the credit-hour sys- tem present roughly the same sit- uation: the committee - and the college's administrators-can rec- cmmend policies, but final deci- sions are made on the department- al level. The committee may suggest that many advanced undergraduate tee Plans Research Laboratory courses, now three-credit, be raiesd to four while retaining only three hours of class per week. Stu- dents wound earn the fourth credit by undertaking additional work .utside of class. Too Many Courses Prof. Gi abar cited a "feeling that five courses a semester - which students must take if their courses are three-credit - are too many, "that taking this many forces students to neglect one or to "skim through" all of them. Also, in certain fields there is "a lot more work students can do by themselves," he said. A survey of department chair-I men drew a "very favorable" re- action to the idea from social sci- ences and humanities, while natural science department chair- men were "opposed," Prof. Grabar reported. The committee is await- ing the last few replies before making a final recommendation, he said. associate, Office of Research Ad- ministration, said. Some of the suggestions from conference participants noted the need for facilities such as an elaborate system of observation c e n t e r s surrounding laboratory areas, the use of a mobile labora- tory housed in a trailer to per- mit field experiments to be con- ducted under controlled situations and other suggestions.

Brethower said he first thought a mobile lab would be unnecessary for research on a resident popula- tion, but now has changed his feelings because of discussion at the conference.
