nger Queries Peace Studies
To Instruct
By LAURENCE KIRSHBAUM
"The peace research movement
seems to be dominated by schol-
ars from the wrong disciplines
asking the wrong questions," ac-
cording to Prof. J. David Singer,
researchtpolitical scientist of the
Mental Health Research Institute.
Writing in the Bulletin of the
Atomic Scientists on "Peace Re-
search, Peace Actions," he observes
that it is the psychological and
physical scientists and not the po-
litical scientists or sociologists
who are dominating the peace re-
search movement and who are
focusing on the wrong issues in it.
His observations are based on
his findings from a questionnaire
in which 44 people active in peace
research-from most of the aca-
demic disciplines-were asked
what they they thought were the
basic peace research problems, the
best method of researching them,
and the way to convert research
into programs of action.
On the question of the basic
peace research issues, Singer says
31 responded that the emphasis
should be placed on the psycholog-
ical aspects concerning public at-
titudes and information. These re-
spondents asked that the attitudi-
nal barriers to peace (such as the'
inner conflicts of 'which was is an
outlet) and the informational bar-
riers (such as the lack of knowl-
edge of the Soviet people) be in-
vestigated.
"From the point of view of an
international relations specialist,"
Singer writes, "these results are
most alarming." He reasons that
"public opinion plays a relatively
minor and essentially indirect role
in the determining of policy."
It is rather the top decision-
makers who should be examined-
only five responses said they
should be--because the decision-
makers "play the central role in
determining public opinions" and
Chabot Secures
Party Leadership
Joseph Chabot, '65, was elected
chairman of Voice political party
Thursday night. Also elected at
the meeting were the six mem-
bers of the executive committee
chosen at large from the member-
ship. They are Michael Brown, '63,
Christopher Cohen, '64, Alan Ehr-
lich, '64, Nancy Hollander, '65,
Stanley Ka ilowitz, '66, and Bar-
bara Steinberg, '65.
make the decisions which deter-
mine the role of the nation in in-
ternational affairs, Singer says.
"We can study, understand and
even try to manipulate popular
opinion and information on for-
eign policy until we are blue in
the face without it having any
serious impact on the traditional
strategies of the nations," he
writes.
It is for these reasons that he
is alarmed at the "large number
of intellectuals who feel that the
development of techniques to im-
prove public information and at-
titudes should get major priority
in peace research," he says.
As to methods of conducting
research, Singer found that the
respondents to the questionnaire
seemed to feel that research by
either one man or group "doesn't
matter, as long as the job gets
done."
However, Singer contradicts in
his article, investigating the in-
ternational system-a system with-
out a counterpart for comparison
-requires teams of analysts "who
can classify the most ambiguous
sorts of previous events."
Singer notes that the survey
indicates that while the non-spe-
cialist-"be he in the psychological
or the physical sciences"--"has a
great deal to offer" but he should
realize "he is an amateur."
It is the responsibility of the
sociologists and political scientists
to combine "their more sophisti-
cated" grasp of the patterns of
nations with the "methodological
progressiveness" of psychologists
and physical scientists in peace
research, he says.
From that combination, Singer
feels, "could come a rigorous,
imaginative and operational out-
pouring of theoretical and empiri-
cal results."
A substitution of the right schol-
ars from the right disciplines for
those from the wrong ones would
result, in an improved peace re-
search movement, he concluded.

G. Kauper of the Law School

By EDWARD HERSTEIN
Distribution requirements, so
often thought of as the root of all
evil-especially by distraught stu-
dents around registration time,
seem to vanish into a trivial noth-
ing when compared to those at
many other schools in the Big
Ten.
A second year language profi-
ciency is required at all Big Ten
liberal arts schools except the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin which re-
quires three years, and Michigan
State University and the Univer-
sity of Minnesota which require
only one year.
Nearly all Big Ten schools ex-
cept the University require be-
tween one and four semesters of
ROTC for all their male students-
Purdue University, Northwestern
University, and Minnesota being
the only other exceptions. In ad-
dition, at least two semesters of
physical education are universally
required.
Hours Vary
Other requirements are largely
dependent on the total number of
credits required for graduation.
These range from a high of 192
for MSU which is on the quarter
system, to 120 for the University
and several others which are on
the semester plan. Purdue is high
for those on semesters with 136
credit hours.
Every Big Ten school requires
that its B.A. candidates have sev-
eral courses in the' social and nat-
ural sciences and the humanities.
The State University of Iowa and
the University of Illinois demand
under 15 credit hours specifically
in these areas, while Ohio State
on the quarter system requires 70.
The University, by comparison, re-
quires only 38 and offers a wide
range of choice in courses to sat-
isfy these. Many of the schools
specify exactly which courses must
be taken for most of the hours.
With the exception of Iowa, all
Big Ten schools require at least
a year of English composition.
Iowa makes its students pass a
rhetoric test and only take com-
position if they fail it. Wisconsin
and Purdue also require a year
of English literature, while Pur-
due additionally requires courses
in reading and speech..
Special Courses
Many of the schools also have
a number of special required
courses. MSU requires all its stu-
dents to take a three semester
course entitled "American Thought
and Language." Wisconsin requires
a course in United States history
and institutions for all those who
cannot pass an examination. Pur-
due has all of its students take a
"Great Issues' course. Both Ohio
State and Minnesota r e q u i r e
courses in health education, with.
Ohio State also requiring an art
survey course.
Actors To Try
Improvision
At vanguard
Detroit's professional resident
theatre, Vanguard Playhouse, is
beginning a Monday night series
developing experimental theatre
techniques.
The first of its Monday evening
experiments will be "instant thea-
tre," which is improvisational
theatre.
The spontaneity of improvisa-
tion comes from the audience
Curtain time for "Instant Thea-
tre" is 8:30 p.m., Feb. 11 and 18.
