Feel Guilty
As Parents',
"Americans often feel self-con-
spicuous and guilty about their
role as parents, being in constant
fear of doing the wrong thing,"
Prof. Warren A. Ketcham said at
the 32nd annual Parent Educa-
tion Institute yesterday.
Prof. Ketcham, coordinator of
psychological services at Univer-
sity schools, told his audience of
parents that the first question they
greet him with in interviews is:
"What am I doing wrong?" There
are few iron-clad rules for child-
rearing. "Recipes seldom work. A
mother always has a difficult time
finding her particular child in a
textbook."
The child who is allowed to
make a decision and blow off
steam once in a while has been
helped toward emotional health.
Parents should include the chil-
dren in the planning of family ac-
tivities, responsibilities and rules,
Prof. Allen Menlo of the educa-
tion department explained. He
added that the wise parent seeks
to maintain a spirit of coopera-
tion and an acceptance of indi-
vidual differences.
"We are close to seeing defiance
and lack of any type of psychol-
ogy control in our young people,"
Prof. William rMorse of the edu-
cation department, said. "Natural-
ly we expect change in any gen-
eration, but it seems that our
change is- critical. Moving away
from the idea that work is the be-
all and end-all of life, we may
have moved so far toward pleas-
ure-seeking that We are develop-
ing a host of bums and beatniks."
When it comes to a conflict be-
tween adult approval of adolescent
behavior and the approval of'oth-
er youngsters, the latter force may
be stronger, Prof. Morse said, "thus
the popularity of all the sad songs
about faithless friends and the
distrust of social relations."
Poll Reveals
Student Faiths
A census based upon 15,000 stu-
dents who specified religious pre-
ference on the fall registration
form indicates that the University
community is approximately 62
per cent'Protestant, 19 per cent
Roman Catholic and 17 ,per cent
Jewish.
The remaining two per cent is
made of various religious denomi-
nations including: Agnosticism,
Buddhism, Confucianism, Deism,
Druidism, Ethical Culture, Hindu-
ism, Sinto, Sikh, Zen and Zoroast-
rianism.
The census represents no major
changes over previous years. The
largest proportional raise appeared I
in the Muslim religion. There were
139 students who indicated the
Muslim faith this fall, whereas no
one specified it last year.
Of the 22,290 students who went
through registration, 7,290 gave
no religious preference.

Future
Planning the projects and solv-
ing the problems of Ann Arbor is
the unique and involved role of
Guy C. Larcom, city administra-
tor.
Larcom describes himself as the
"chief administrative executive to
carry out the policies of the may-
or and city council." His job is
somewhat similar to that of a city
manager, although it entails a
lesser degree of authority.
With the University situated in
the center of Ann Arbor, certain
unusual conditions arise and must
be met by the city government.
Traffic congestion from student
and faculty cars poses a problem
which is eased by designing spe-
cial automobile routes to fit traf-
fic patterns.
Expand Services
According to Larcom, rapid
growth of the city in all directions
requires expansion of services such
as utilities and roads. Filling these
needs at the right time and plan-
ning ways to finance them comes
under the jurisdiction of the office
of City Administrator.
Larcom and vice-president in
charge of business 'and, finance of
the University, Wilbur K. Pier-
pont, work together toward coop-
erative planning of mutual proj-
ects and problems. There is also
a Council Committee on Univer-
sity-City Relations which is cur-
rently studying University pay-
ments for city police and fire pro-
tection and other public services.
From time to time, meetings
are held with the student Govern-
ment Council to discuss student-
city relations.
Closer Contacts,
"This could probably be orga-
nized a little more formally," says
Larcom. "Students often feel that
the city is hostile to them, be-
cause of traffic regulations, vot-
ing laws, and bicycle ordinances.
Planning and construction of
a new city hall is one of Larcom's
chief concerns at the present, as
the contract is expected to be .let
in November. The new city hall;
to be located at Huron, Fifth, and
Ann streets, will replace the five
buildings now housing the city
government.
Rounding out Larcom's many
projects are expansion of the sew-
er and water treatment program;
multi-million dollar highway con-
struction, including the proposed
new Huron Parkway, acity-wide
reappraisal program, expansion of
off-street parking, the proposed

First Administrator
As the first City Administrator
of Ann Arbor, Larcom has held
the post since April 9, 1956, when
the new city charter went into
effect. Previously, he was a con-
sultant for the state of New Jer-
sey, and was director of both the
Cleveland Citizens League and the
Bureau of Government Research.
Larcom received his B.A. from
Harvard and did graduate work in
public administration at Columbia
University.

The indefatigable Dr. Seuss
has charmed an entire genera-
tion of children and their par-
ents with his ingenious tales of
egg-hatching elephants, stub-
born kings, and wayward chil-
dren. Certain recurring ele-
ments in his writing help to ex-
plain his enduring popularity.
Absurd wishes come true; com-
pulsiveness is comic; and dis-
aster looms for the unwary. He
does not shun a home-made
miracle:
In a striking departure from.
his usual production Stanley
Kramer collaborated with Dr.
Seuss some years ago in making
The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T., a
fantastic story of a little boy
who detested his piano teacher,
worried about his widowed mo-
ther, and worshipped the
plumber who worked in his
house. His dream projections,

performance was sold out.
Cinema Guild is again happy
to present Gerard Philipe in
what was probably his greatest
role-the saintly and epileptic
Prince Myshkin, The Idiot.
Why it is that the French are
supremely successful in trans-
lating Dostoievsky's works into
the visual language of the film
whereas Americn attempts are
heroically unsuccessful, is not
a question that can be answered
in this limited space. But if
you compare the French Crime
and Punishment (shown last
year by Cinema Guild) with its
American version, or the French
The Idiot with the American
The Brothers Karamazov, the
answer to this question is im-
mediately apparent. In The
Idiot, the spiritual intensity, the
jealousy, the murder, the sac-
