GIT CHILDREN:
Educators Doubt AMA Study
By FREDERICK ULEMAN
Two University educators ex-
ressed doubt in the results of a
udy reported by the American
edical Association which claim-
i that the creative child is most
ten the product of a not "par-
cul'arly well-adjusted" family.
The study, by Dr. Paul S. Weis-
rg and Kayla J. Springer, both
the department of psychiatry
Cincinnati General Hospital,
sted children to determine the
evel of creative function" and
Zen studied their family relation-
lip in the hope of discovering
in optimal family pattern.".
Emotion Aids Creativity
From this, they report that it
s a family in which there is
pen, and not always calm ex-
ession of strong feeling, without
SO Units Ask

No fraternity or sorority ap-
lied for an extension of time to
ibmit membership statements to
ie Office of Student Affairs as

rday.
Under legislation, adopted Dec.
by Student Government Coun-
l, these groups have until noon,

d yesterday.

es that have not turned in state-
ents.
that expression being used to bind
the child to the values of the par-
ents" which best favors the emer-
gence of creativity.
While he agreed that a "fluid"
family situation may permit the
children to seek their own solu-
tion, the study is "interesting, but
hardly definitive," Prof. Charles
F. Lehmann, dean of the school of
education, said.
Citing the study's small sam-
ple group of only thirty-two as
one reason to question its im-
portance, Prof. Lehmann added
that he doubted the family struc-
ture's ability to manufacture cre-
ativity. It seems as though all one
can do is "nurture" creativity by
"freeing up the environment," he
added.
Tests Unproved
Prof. Warren E. Ketcham of.
the education school further not-
ed that the interest in creativity
is only recent and that none of
the tests have been proved to sup-
port reality.
The thing which is needed is to
follow these people's lives to see if,
indeed, they either are now or be-
come creative, Prof. Ketcham said.
Otherwise, the tests lack validity,
he explained.
Not only are people studying
the problem not yet sure that the
tests measure creativity, the ac-
tual substance of creativity is still
uncertain, he said. Prof. Ketcham
added that he felt "the dynamics
of creativity are much more pro-
found than this,. and it is diffi-
cult to give credence to any single
explanation."
Creative Person
"The creative - person must
somehow become intrigued with
new and unusual combinations of
things and ideas which are unac-
cepted by the society in which he
grows up, and he has to be so at-
tached to these that he is willing.
to cling to them with all his ten-
aciousness," Prof. Ketcham said.
Both Prof. Lehmann and Prof.
Ketcham agreed that, while crea-
tive children may emerge from a
loose family structure, the pres-
ence of such a structure will not
necessarily produce creativity.

WITH WAYNE:
Plan Hospital
Cooperation
Wayne County General Hospi-
tal, the University, and Wayne
State University made a joint
agreement Saturday permitting
the universities to use the hospi-
tal's teaching and research facili-
ties.
Senior medical students at the
University are already making use
of hospital facilities, and Wayne
students will follow shortly. The
plan will be reciprocal in that it,
will also allow more care for hos-
pital patients.
The plan of cooperation will
utilize closed circuit television
originating in Ann Arbor.
Dr. Scott, the general super-
intendent and physician-in-chief
of the hospital, refers to the set-
up as "a very sensible arrange-
ment," and ". . . another thing the
two universities are doing togeth-
er for the need of the state."
Wayne already has affiliations
with Receiving, Herman Kiefer,
Women's, Harper, Grace, Sinai,
and Children's Hospitals.
To Improve
Instruction
Of English
A program entitled Project Eng-
lish has been drafted by the Gov-
ernment Office of Education to
improve the teaching of English
in schools.
The plan, developed by a team
under Sterling M. McMurrin,
commissioner of education, has
been given special priority. It will
be concerned with the entire field
of English instruction, from the
teaching of reading in elementary
schools to English composition in
high school.
To Establish Centers
As a major step, three curric-
ulum study.centers staffed by uni-
versities, colleges and state edu-
cation agencies will be established.
Their sites have not yet been de-
termined.
The program received priority
because of reports by the Nation-
al Council of Teachers of English
that 70 per cent of colleges and
universities had to provide remed-
ial work in English, and that 150,-
000 students failed college en-
trance tests in English in 1960.
Ralph C. M. Flynt, assistant
commissioner for research, said
the work would be coordinated
with current efforts by teachers,
university scholars and school ad-
ministrators.
Hopes For Approval
The program hopes to get con'-
gressional approval to conduct
teacher training institutes. The
curriculum centers would func-
tion for about five years. Proposals
for sites and staff selections are
being reviewed.
Still in the planning stage are
a series of conferences and con-
tracts. A proposed conference
would enable appraisal of meth-
ods and indicate priorities for re-
search.
Conference members would be
leading scholars in the ' field of
reading instruction. "Executives
of the major professional societies
in English," will also be consulted
on selection of center sites.

The problems of human be-
havior in business and how to
solve them is the major concern
of the Foundation for Research
on Human Behavior-a national,
non-profit organization to stim-
ulate research and make its find-
ings available to the business men.
The specific areas in which the
Foundation is interested are man-
agement and organization, con-
sumer economic behavior and pub-;
lic communications.
One of the problems it has been
considering is creativity. Findings
have 'shown that high intelligence,
preference of the complex and
flexibility in an individual are
factors that correlate highly with
creative ability. At present the
Foundation is trying to develop
tests that will measure these fac-
tors.
Seminars, Reports
Businessmen are informed of
such results through seminars and
published reports sent to large
companies throughout the coun-
try.
The Foundation, directed by
Hollis W. Peter and financed by
contributions f r o m companies
throughout the country, distrib-
utes the grants it receives to the
institutions that it feels will best
be able to solve the problems that
are suggested.
The University received a grant
from the Foundation to study
"Breakdowns in Boss-Subordinate
Communications." The researchers
spoke with 35 pairs of superiors
and subordinants in 5 different
plants.
Duties Involved
It was found that both men
agreed about such things as the
content of the duties involved in-
the subordinate's job, but dis-
agreed about such things as the
content of _the subordinate's job
obstacles. In the last area the sub-
ordinate was afraid that his super-
Regents Sell
'U' Property
The Regents approved the ac-
ceptance of a bid from George M.
Zeltzer, Detroit attorney, for 29.6
acres of the University's former
Botanival Gardens at their De-
cember meeting.
Zeltzer made a bid for $120,200
for 28.9 acres in one parcel and
$4,000 for .4 acre in an adjoining
parcel. This acreage is off Iro-
quis Place and is suitable for res-
idential construction.
The Regents accepted a recom-
mendation from Vice-President
for Business and Finance Wilbur
K. Pierpont that authority be giv-
en to negotiate the sale of 10.2
acres bordering on industrial
highway and suitable for business
property in whole or in part.
should know about their employes
before they offer them voter-in-
formation lectures, or advocate
their taking a stand on a certain
issue.
Other programs which the
Foundation has supported and is
continuing to support include "So-
cio-psychological Factors in Sci-
entific Performance," "Networks
of Communication and Reference
Group Influence in the Adoption
of New Farm Products and Prac-
tices," "Size, Shape and Function
in Industrial Organizations" and
"Personality and Organization."

There's no place at Western Electric for engi-
neers who feel that college diplomas signify
the end of their education. However, if a man
can meet our quality standards and feels that
he is really just beginnin'g to learn .,., and if he
is ready to launch his career where learning is
an important part of the job and where gradu-
ate-level training on and off the job is encour-
aged - we want and needjdim.
At Western Electric, in addition to the nor-
mal learning-while-doing, engineers are en-
couraged to move ahead in their fields by sever-
al types of educational programs. Western
maintains its own full-time graduate engineer-
ing training program, seven formal manage-
ment courses, and a tuition refund plan for
out-of-hours college study.
This learning atmosphere is just one reason
why a career at Western Electric is so stimu-
to Western Electric at one of the best times in
the company's history. In the management
area alone, several thousand supervisory jobs
are expected to open up to W.E. people within
the next 10 years. And our work of building
communications equipment and systems be-
comes increasingly challenging and important
as the communications needs of our nation and
the world continue to increase.
Challenging opportunities exist now at Western
Electric for electrical, mechanical, industrial, and chemi-
cal engineers, as well as physical science, liberal arts,
and business majors. All qualified applicants will re-
ceive careful consideration for employment without
regard to race, creed, color or national origin. For more

tions, Western Electric Company, Room 6206, 222
