!T THE MICHIGAN DAILY SUNDA R IY, FERRUAR'. 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. TEACHES COURSE-Prof. Paul G. Kauper of the Law School will give a non-credit course entitled "Church-State Rela- tions in American Life" at 7:15 p.m. Tuesdays at the Lutheran Student Center.

The new seminar emphasizes flexibility. Of the two sections now operating, the one taught by Prof. Allan Seager is considering the relationship between French fiction and Anglo-American fic- tion, while the section under Prof. Charles R. O'Donnel is concentrat- ing more on American literature. Permission Required Entry into English 480 requires permission of the concentration advisor, and usually a 3.0 overall average.

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.
