THE MICHIGAN DAILY SGC HASH: Asks Deadline for. PSYCHOLOGICAL INSTRUCTION-The newly installed dial-selectors and monitoring system in the language laboratory are part of a new teaching program which emphasizes conditioned behavior in language learning. Lingual experts from a remote monitoring booth can listen to a student and serve to reinforce him as he responds correctly. Dial-Selector To Aid Language Learning By CAROLYN WINTER The first 'dial-selector and monitoring system in the nation for language learning will be put to use at the University this. fall. This system was to be installed last fall, but technical difficulties delayed its completion. In Feb- ruary 1961, three test booths were installed. ' This fall forty-five booths are being operated with the new dial-selector. There are 150 booths in the lab, leaving' 105 seats in which the system is not yet installed. The equipment for the system is sensitive and complex. This ac- counts for the difficulty in in- stallation. The earphones are the latest type used anywhere and have high fidelity characteristics. Only recently have they been pro- duced in quantity. Accounts for Difficulty Occasional difficulties in ser- vice of the equipment is partially due to unfamiliarity with it on the part of the student. Every booth has an instruction sheet to explain how to use the appartus correctly and monitors are there to help at all times. I The dialing system is similar to using a telephone. The student dials numbers and by his selec- tion of numbers chooses his pro- gram. There is also a new monitoring system, which is only partially in efect now, by which trained lin- guists in a remote monitoring booth can listen to each student's circuit and carry on a two-way conversation in order to correct an error. Dean of the literary college Roger Heyns, in his annual report to President Harlan Hatcher,,said the dial-selector system "offers a definite teaching advantage as it enables each student to proceed at his own pace, dialing a new program only after he has master- ed the preceding one." Qudruples Programs Another advantage, he men- tioned, was that it quadruples the number of programs that can be played simultaneously. Students will be able to hear any one of over 2,500 individual language tapes. Since there is a central control room- in which all the tapes are played, one can be selected sim- ultaneously by a number of stu- dents. In cooperation with the'labora- tory, research is being done to- ward native mastery of foreign language by the new Institute for Behavioral Research And Pro- grammed Instruction under the direction of Prof. F. Rand Morton and aided by a staff of linguists, psychologists and educators. Their research is- being done to discover "methods of conditioning behavior in learning language," acting director of the language laboratory, Erwin M. Hamson said. Student Reinforcement Applied to the language lab, this means that the student will be reinforced as he responds cor- rectly. The questions are so ar- ranged that the student will build up knowledge, answer each ques- tion right, and in turn be stimu- lated. This is somewhat in prac- tice already in the lab in the French, German, Latin, Russian and Spanish programs, Hamson noted. The researchers are seeking practical ways of using the prin- ciple of reinforcement to teach the student to discriminate be- tween sounds that are difficult to distinguish in a foreign lan- guage. The research has no connection with the use of the language lab by University language students. The results of this research will eventually be used in language teaching throughout the nation. SGC Offers Reading ,List Student Government Council, has announced the plans for its fall Reading and Discussion Pro- gram. Seminars, focusing upon six areas of cultural interest, will be led by members of the faculty. Under the category of Utopian Literature, Prof. Kenneth Bould- ing of the economics department, Prof. James Gindin of the Eng- lish department, and Assistant Dean of Men John Bingley, will lead a seminar focusing upon George Orwell's "Nineteen-Eighty- Four." The discussion will be held at 7:15 p.m. Wednesday in the Honors Lounge of the UGLI. Other seminars planned for the semester include: Science and Culture, "Two Cultures and the Scientific Revolution," by Sir C. P. Snow; Psychology of Religion, "The Future of an Illusion," by Sigmund Freud; Ayn Rand's Philosophy, "The Fountainhead," by Ayn Rand; E. E. Cummings, "100 Poems," by E. E. Cummings; Modern Marxism, "To the Finland Station," by Edmund Wilson. Eugenia Pann, '63, chairman of the Reading and Discussion Com- mittee, urges all students to at- tend these seminars, especially if they have read the primary books. "It is a good opportunity to meet some of the professors you will encounter in the next four years and to hear their ideas," she told freshmen. At Wednesday's Student Gov- ernment Council meeting, a letter from the Committee on Member- ship in Student Organizations was. read which requested that SGC establish a definite time limit for organizations to submit their constitutional membership claus- es. These by-laws, along with their interpretations, are to be turned into the office of James A. Lewis, vice-president for student affairs. SGC President Richard Nohl, '62BAd, was directed to invite Jesse McCorry, '62, acting chair- man of the Committee on Mem- bership, to speak to the Council at its next meeting. In other action, SGC passed a motion to cancel the late-closing hours of student-sponsored orga- nizations on Oct. 7. However, it extended late-closing hours to 1 a.m. on Oct. 14 and on Oct. 21, Homecoming night, till 2 a.m. To Serve on Council On a motion by Per Hanson, '62, SGC appointed Assembly As- sociation President Sally JoSaw- yer, '62, and Brian Glick, '62, to serve on the Interviewing Com- mittee for the two Council vacan- cies available due to the resigna- tion of Mary Wheeler, L, and Phil- ip Power, Spec. The students selected will fill these posts only until the next SGC election. The committee was advised to proceed immediately and report to the Council at its next meeting. A motion to hold the fall elec- tion for SGC on Nov. 7-8 was adopted. An amendment by Rog- er Seasonwein, Grad, added that petitioning be opened following the next meeting. The Council is investigating the $1,300 debt incurred by the Wol- verine Club due to the purchase of new 'M' cards. It is also looking into the possibilities of holding' the 16th National Student Asso- ciation Congress at the Univer- sity in 1963. The Michigan region of NSA will meet at the TJniversity from Oct. 27-29. Housing for delegates will be Plan Meeting For Rushees Fraternity rush will begin with a mass rush meeting in the Mich- igan Union ballroom Wednesday evening at 7:00 p.m. Bob Peterson, '62, Interfraternity Council Presi- dent, said yesterday. Actual rushing will begin Sun- day, Oct. 1, with open house at all the fraternities. Open house will continue for three days after which there will be lunches and smokers for the rest of the week. The second week will consist of lunches and smokers, starting Monday, Oct. 9 and ending Sun- day Oct. 18. Band To Present Review of Tour The Michigan Marching Band will present a review of their tour through the Soviet Union during the half-time of the Michigan- Michigan State game on Oct. 14, conductor William D. Revelli an- nounced: To be viewed over coast-to- coast television, the show will open with an airplane formation, showing the way the band travel- ed to Russia. Later in the show an old-fash- ined train formation will demon- strate how the group got around within the country. Russian music is to be featured throughout the show. The band will play "The Great Gate of Kiev" from Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition," as well as "Meadowland," a Russian folk song. Another highlight of the pres- entation will be a Cossack dance executed by members of the band. Schorger To Talk At Club Meeting The Near East Club will hold a meeting at 8 p.m. today in the Rackham West Conf. Rm. Dr. William Schorger will discuss "Why Study the Near East?" arranged through Interquadrangle Council and Assembly Associa- tion. Meals will be served at the Union, and the meetings will be held in the SAB. The Council approved the In- dia Student Association dance program to be held Oct. 11 at Ann Arbor High School. It also approved the appoint- ment of Barbara Postle, '63, as of- fice manager. The full text of the motion pass- ed by Student Government Coun- cil Wednesday concerning student, participation on the Study Com- mittee on the Structure of the Office of Student Affairs is as follows: "Student Government Council desires to appoint four students as full voting members of the Study Committee on- Structure of the Office of Student Affairs and notes having received recom- mendations as to appointing stu- dents to that end from Vice-Pres- ident James A. Lewis. Membership Requirements "All members shall be from the Student Government Council, two coming from the Committee on the University and two from the Council at large. - At least one member of each sex shall be in- cluded in the group.' "Student Government Council will instruct the delegates to re- port back to the Council in pub- lic session at regular intervals on the progress of the study. "Student Government Council. does not by this action imply en- dorsement of the present arrange- ment in which the study commit- tee functions outside the normal By-Laws advisory channels of the Univer- sity. SGC. in fact, questions the advisability of this arrangement. ,By appointing members to serve on the committee the Council does not commit itself to support the committee's final recommenda- tions. "SGC recognizes and shall ful- fill its own responsibility to de- bate fully all relevant issues, to initiate proposals, and to review, evaluate and comment upon the recommendations submitted by the study committee. SGC Recommendation "In view of the fact that the study committee has been pre- sented with the report from the Student Relations Committee and has been appraised of all facts regarding the initiation of the study, SGC recommends that one member of the original study group serve as an ex-officio mem- ber without vote. That original study group included the 1961 Daily senior staff and the 1961 SGC Human Relations Board. "Recognizing that the educa- tional responsibility of the Uni- versity rests, ultimately with the faculty, SGC recommends strong- ly that the findings of the study committee be reviewed by the University Senate sub-committee on student relations. "SGC mandates its Committee on the University to ,compile in- formation relating to the Office of Student Affairs and to trans- mit it to the Council in order that members may be better informed. To this same end SGC requests that Vice-President Lewis make available to Council members' the full report of the Student Rela --_ tions Committee on the Office of Student Affairs. "SGC further requests that the minutes of the study committee be transmitted in confidence to the SGC Committee on the Uni- versity."

More than 290 students signed up at registration last week, and there were only places for 150, Prof. Anderson explained. This mis-estimate was due to a larger number of students choosing to take this course than was antici- pated. Since the course is a require- ment of all pre-medical, pharma- cy and other science students, ac- commodations were made imme- diately. New laboratories were opened, new equipment ordered, and additional faculty was trans- ferred to the organic chemistry classes. The lecture section was moved to a larger room so that the 290 students could meet in the same lecture, he said. The large number of students enrolling in organic chemistry oc- curred even though it is now a two-semester course instead of the previous one-semester course, Prof. Anderson said. r >I l i 4 i 9 P.M.-Midnight GERMAN PARK 7 mi.
