:' THE MICHIGAN DAILY THURSDAY, NOVI THE MICHIGAN DAILY THURSDAY, NOV Li 'A mericans 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. ADMINISTRATIVE ROLE: Larcom Plans City's By KATHRYN VOGT Free Delivery Free Delivery Free Delivery 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 JGP Announces Central Committee Hope Marder, '63, central chair- man of Junior Girls' Play, yester- day announced members of the central committee for JGP. The committee chairmen are Anne Raffel, '63, Daily, Stunt and Campus publicity; Betsy Holleb, '63, makeup; Elizabeth Manske, '63, call-director; and Rhoda Pre- gerson, '63, properties.

PAID ADVERTISEMENT Cihea quil presents Thursday and Friday THE 5,000 FINGERS OF DR. T. 7:00 and 9:00 Saturday and Sunday Dostoievsky's THE IDIOT 7:00 and 9:00 1 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, year. Once more nearly every 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- I I I I 1
