Lamb Views
Party Role
In Coni-Con
By MARK BLUCHER
"Factional differences within
Michigan's political parties pre-
vented either party from agreeing
to end the stalemate in govern-
ment and therefore, citizens
groups were necessary to place the
question of calling a constitution-
al convention on the ballot," Prof.
Karl A. Lamb of the political sci-
ence department said Thursday.
Speaking to the local chapter
of the American Association of
University Women, he discussed
the role of political parties in the
convention.
Role of Parties
The parties did play an impor-
tant role in the election of dele-
gates, however, by supporting su-
perior candidates and eliminating
the "crackpots," he said.
Parties in the convention are
able to resolve some of the con-
flicts where citizen groups may be
unsuccessful. "While the conflicts
will remain with the new consti-
tution, the governmental policy
outlook will be different," he add-
ed.
Prof. Lamb observed that the
"delegates have not fallen down
on their knees in front of the
shrine of knowledge raised by the
political scientists."
Politics Intervene
This was due to the fact that
politics has intervened and that
Michigan's problems can't be dis-
cussed in the abstract, he said.
"Since the majority of the dele-
gates are from the 79 counties that
originally opposed con-con there
is bound to be dissension between
them and those that favor a new
document."
By ELLEN SILVERMAN
"The floor cue is the cue most
involved in what a rat is able to do
in a maze," Prof. Emeritus John
F. Shepard of the psychology de-
partment said yesterday.
Prof. Shepard spoke to the psy-
chology department in the first of
a series of annual lectures named
in his honor. He described his
research, done at the University
between 1928-1935, on rat mazes.
Unit-Like Mazes
Initially the rats were run in
unit-like mazes. In each of these
the pattern is fairly consistent
with only a few differences lead-
ing to blind spots.
Ask ,petitions
For 'Gargoyle'
The Board in Control of Stu-
dent Publications announced Mon-
day that it is willing to consider
student proposals for reinstating
"Gargoyle" humor magazine next
year.
Petitions to the Board should
include a proposed philosophy for
the magazine, plans for managing
and staffing it and plans for
operating it on a continuing basis.
The Board's action followed de-
nial of a request by two students
to publish an issue of "Gargoyle"
in time for Michigras this spring.
Asks for Study
Of Drop-Outs
Prof. George Odiorne of the Bu-
reau of Industrial Relations asked
that high schools study the 30 per
cent drop-out rate. He spoke be-
fore the Pleasant Lake Parent
Teachers Association yesterday.
SHEPARD EXPERIMENTS:
'Floor Cue' Guides Rats Through Maze
,';
Although the popular opinion of
the day thought that the rat ran
the maze through the use of ol-
factory, kinesthetic or visual cues,
Prof. Shepard soon found out that
the floor seemed to be the domi-
nant cue of the rat.
After the first observation of
this process, he installed a "soft"
floor made of hair felt. Prof.
Shepard related that he was sur-
prised to observe that the rat could
learn on the soft floor, and in fact
in one case learned more easily
than on a hard floor of masonite.
Complex Floor Maze
In 1931 a complex floor maze
was set up. The floor of the maze
consisted of a separate substance
under each unit such as wood, ce-
ment, cotton batten or hairfelt
covered with a continuous cloth.
On top of that a layer of mason-
ite was placed. Each of these ele-
ments could be switched or inter-
changed.,
When the first layer, or the ma-
sonite, was interchanged among
units all but one rat was able to
learn the maze changes again
quickly.
When the materials below were
interchanged the other rats re-
sponded also. In large scale re-
sults taken through the years
935-1938, the results showed that
all but one rat in a series of
changes reacted to a various
change, Prof. Shepard reported.
