STUDENT PERFORMANCE:
Atkinson Examines
Role of Motivation

By ROBERT GRODY
"Motivation to ;achieve deter-
mines the level of accomplishment
in the classroom," Prof. John W.
Atkinson of the psychology de-
partment said recently.
Students who are strongly mo-
tivated to produce are usually the
ones who show the greatest ac-
complishment, he said, in a lecture
sponsored by the Center for Re-
search on Learning and Teaching.
G eive Award
To Townsend
Lynn A. Townsend, president of
Chrysler Corp., will receive the
business administration school's
annual-Business Leadership Award
today.
Dean Floyd A. Bond will pre-
sent Townsend with the award in
the first of three programs in the
school's 33rd Alumni Conference.
Townsend, an alumnus of the
University, is the sixth person to
receive this award. The award was
established by the business school
Student Council to honor a "busi-
nessman of accomplishment who
has shown an understanding of
the responsibilities of business to
society and an interest in busi-
ness education."
Prof. William Paton, professor
emeritus of the accounting and
economics department, will intro-
duce Townsend.
The alumni conference will con-
tinue tomorrow with a speech by
Prof. George S. Odiorne, director
of the school's Bureau of Indus-
trial Relations. Prof. Odiorne will
speak on "The New Utopians-To-
ward a National Personnel Poli-
cy."
Dean Bond will speak at a
luncheon today. His topic will be
"Peaks and Valleys in a Dean's
life."
After these three formal ses-
sions, the conference will break
up into smaller groups to discuss
accounting, industrial relations
and marketing.

Situations in the classroom
where students are placed under
pressure cause anxiety and fear
of failure, which may produce un-
favorable reactions in a student's
rate of achievement, he continued.
"Surprisingly, however, in col-
lege students motivation to achieve
and fear of failure are not corre-
lated."
Prof. Atkinson made it clear
that the degree of expectancy of
success also plays an important
role in how much or how little a
student will produce.
"Very high and very low levels
of expectancy of success tend to
minimize performance. But when
the level of difficulty, which usu-
ally determines expectancy of suc-
cess, is close to the median, both
motivation to achieve and anxiety

Cites Curbs
On Writers
At Colleges
A preliminary study of a survey
on 62 student publications in-
dicates a basic misunderstanding
of the meaning of freedom of the
press by those with the publica-:
tions, Detroit Free Press editorial
writer Verne Edwards noted re-
cently.
Reporting on a survey of North
American journalism schools, Ed-
wards commented that replies to
the survey questionnaire often
claimed the student paper was
free, yet said that news and edi-
torial copy were often read and
censored by the faculty.
"Real freedom occurs when the
students are totally responsible.
Nobody says 'this article should
not run because it is stupid or
controversial'," Edwards asserted.
Three Types
Tentatively, Edwards has divid-
ed the student press into three
types:
1) the laboratory newspaper
where the operations are closely
supervised by the faculty;
2) the official university paper
that serves as a house organ; and
3) the independent, student-run
newspaper.
Misunderstanding
The first two types of publica-
tion create misunderstandings
about freedom of the press accord-
ing to Edwards. Many college-
educated people believe news-
papers should not be allowed to
criticize government. This attitude,
he said, often reflects their ex-
perience with their college news-
paper.
Edwards cautioned that the re-
port was a preliminary one, as no
statistical tabulation has yet been
made. He added that he hoped to
write an article on the survey to
attempt to clarify the term "free-
dom of the press."

VOTE:
Panhel Plans
ToEvaluate
Spring Rush
(Continued from Wage 1)
and in acquainting the women
with sorority living.
Mrs. Leslie expressed strong
approval of methods which would
bring freshmen into more in-
formal contact with sorority life.
"Any kind of breaking. down of
this contact rule (which prohibits
first semester freshmen from en-
tering sorority houses) would
bring about better relations be-
tween Greeks and non-affiliates,"
she said.
Concerning changes in spring
rush, it was suggested that rush
might be squeezed into two weeks
instead of close to three. Another
sorority president called for a
heavier rush schedule during the
first week of classes and a lighter
one during the second week. "The
situation now is just the reverse,"
she explained.

PROF. JOHN W. ATKINSON
...studies motivation
reach their highest points," he
added.
He also demonstrated the effects
of homogenious groupings of stu-
dents with respect to IQ.
"Homogenious grouping, regard-
less of the level of intelligence,
tends to intensify the trait that
is dominant in the individual stu-
dent's personality, be it motivation
or anxiety," he said.

Prof. Reuben Kahn of the Medi-
cal School has been awarded an
honorary doctor of medicine de-
gree by the National University
Medical School at Athens, Greece.
"Dr. Kahn is one of the Uni-
versity's most distinguished people;
his reputation is known all over
theworld," Associate Dean Charles
J. Tupper of the Medical School
commented today.
The degree was presented to
Prof. Kahn in an impressive cere-
mony, filled with local color and
attended by faculty, students and
physicians. The dean of the Med-
ical'School gave the'doctor a tra-
ditional kiss on the cheek.
The most famous - of Prof.
Kahn's accomplishments is his
development of the Kahn test for
syphilis, a definite improvement
over the well-known Wassermann
test, Tupper said.
The serologist received the de-
gree in his 50th year of contribut-
ing to scientific publications. In
the last half-century he has pub-
lished 226 papers.
"Although retired, he continues
to make significant contributions
to medical science," Tupper added.
Prof. Kahn is currently doing
research on the effects of radia-
tion upon tissue. This research
specifically concerns the radiation
treatment of cancer and deter-
mination of the effects of nuclear
explosions on human life.
Another honor afforded Prof.
Kahn while in Greece was an
honorary membership in the der-
matological society of Greece.
