New Courses To Replace Psychology 31 This year, the psychology de- partment is offering two new courses to replace the previously offered introductory course, psy- chology 31. The two courses approach the ' subject in different ways. One course, psychology 100, is an in- troduction as a natural science; and the other course, psychology 101, is an introduction as a social science. The credits from each course meet different distribution requirements. Psychology 32 was also elimi- nated and in its place there are honors sections of both 100 and 101. A new introductory laboratory psychology 110, was also started this year. The lab can be elected with either 100 or 101. Psychology majors must take 100, 101, and 110. All the new courses will feature more individual study. Students will be expected to use more mnia- tive and there are optional lec- tures to attend along with recita- tion sections. Students will also be expected to explore a small area of know- ledge in depth. The changes are but one step in the remodeling of the whole psychology department. IhlI Company recruiters often avoid the liberal arts graduate and the non-conformist, Prof. George S. Odiorne, director of the Bureau of Industrial Relations charged re- cently in a speech to the Midwest College Placement Association. Speaking at the Mackinac Is- land convention, Prof. Odiorne noted that recruiters mislead stu- dents about work requirement and do not know the future manpower needs of their own company. "Despite the lip service which many senior company officers pay to the hiring of liberally educated men, it is the professionally train- ed person who gets the most at- tractive job offer. Effects Registration "This has a tangible effect upon course registration in the more academic subjects which have as their objective the mak- ing of a better man who can per- form as a citizen of a free society rather than a good employe," Prof. Odiorne declared. Recruiters prefer the older, more mature looking student who will "fit into the organization as the recruiter perceives it back home," he said. By failing to mention that hard work and application will be re- quired, the recruiter is mislead- ing the student. "The prevailing image is one of power, size, influ- ence, and fun." Lack Study "Most corporations not only cannot forecast their manpower needs beyond the amount neces- sary to fill their current recruit- ing requisitions, they have not be- gun to study methods of under- Auditorium's, Front Rows Now 'The Pit' A new orchestra pit in Hill Auditorium will be used for the first time Oct. 24, when the Mazowsze dancers from Poland appear as part of the Extra Con- cert Series. Constructed during the summer, the pit is created by removing the first three rows of seats in three sections of the auditorium. Steel beams allow the seats to be taken up in sections of four seats and then one. The flooring, which was especially installed for this' purpose, is then removed, forming a pit large enough for a 40 to 50 piece orchestra. The construction was carried out at the suggestion of the Uni- versity Musical Society under the supervision of the University plant department. "It was quite an engineering process," Executive Director of the Society Gail Rector said. "The six-inch floor, installed in 1913 when the auditorium was built, had to be blasted out." The wall of the pit, located be- low floor level, was part of the original building, indicating that an orchestra pit had been intend- ed in the early stages of its con- struction. Lack of funds probably prevented the completion of the pit, Rector said. Three doors leading from the basement into the pit were cut in order to facilitate entrance for musicions. Due to the cost of removing the seats and flooring, the new or- chestra pit will be used only twice this year, for the Mazowsze danc- ers in the fall and for the Ameri- can ballet threatre in the spring. taking such projections," Prof. Odiorne said.I Although college recruiting is al highly professional field, a lack of understanding between the uni- versity and the business world exists, Prof. Odiorne noted. Recruiters see the university asI having faculty aloof from busi- ness and defensive toward the student. They often guide the best students to academic and profes- sional careers and fail to screen candidates for the recruiter. The universities, recruiters be- lieve, have an unrealistic attitude toward business. It is less respec- tive and appreciative of the prof- it motive than it should be and it fails to understand the prob- lems of company communications, behavior and politics, Prof. Odi- orne explained. On the other hand university Arts Grads placement officials see recruiters I as being unappreciative of its goals, concern for students, and its loose organizational structure. Not Understood The youthful mind is also not understood by recruiters, univer- sity officials feel. They look for 20 year olds with 40 year old minds. The corporation is considered to be wielding too much power and influence through the re- cruiting process, he noted. College and university place- ment officials must seek to "de- pressurize" recruiting by promot- ing fewer but longer and more in- tensive interviews, by insisting on better company literature, by edu- cating recruiters, and by refusing to+ serve as "an arranger, fixer, match maker, hand holder, and chaplain," Odiorne suggested.
