PAGE TWO THE MICHIGAN DAI-LY FRIDAY, 29 JANUARY 1965 PAGE TWO TINE MICHIGAN DAILY FRIDAY, 29 JANUARY 1965 Fricke Tells Import Of 'Cooked Carrots' MOVIE PRICE INCREASES: SGC Hears Butterfield Justification I By CAROLE KAPLAN Prof. Benno G. Fricke, of the psychology department, creator of the widely-discussed Opinion At- titude and Interest Survey, re- cently revealed the meaning of the test's most famous true-false question, "I like cooked carrots better than raw carrots." Dr. Fricke, chief of the Evalua- tion and Examination Division of the Bureau of Psychological Ser- vices, described the: "cooked car- rots" question as relatively un- important since most items ap- pear on at least three trait scales, while this question only appears on two. 'he two traits it helps illustrate are. 1. Desire to give a socially ac- ceptable response-students an- swering "true" tend to answer other questions in a socially a- ceptable manner more frequently than those answering "false." 2. Interest in social and be- havioral sciences-students an- swering "false" are more likely to be interested in these areas. OAIS Scales Some of the other scales the OAIS contains are: the Achiever Personality Scale, which predicts academic success: the Intellectual Quality Scale; the Creative Per- sonality Scale; Social and Emo- tional Adjustment Scales and In- terest Scales for Business, Hu- manities, Physical Sciences and Biological Sciences. Commenting on the unusual items in the OAIS, such as "Bridge is a rather foolish game" and "Middle-aged men should not marry young women," Fricke said that the sense of the question is unimportant. It doesn't matter if a prefer- ence for cooked carrots is directly related to social attitudes. It may be unrelated and, in fact, prob- ably is, he said. But research test- ing of about 10,000 students, car- ried out between 1951 and 1961, showed that, for some reason, stu- dents interested in making a good impression tend to answer the question "true." Accurate Predicting Although no one item is very significant, tests given at several universities, as well as those giv- en here, indicate that the OAIS Achiever Personality Scale, made up of 86 items, is as accurate in predicting academic success as the By JUDITH WARREN Student Government Council Wednesday night was informed of the Butterfield Company's jus- tification for the recent increase in movie prices. Douglas Brook, '65, president of SGC, read to Council a letter he had received from Lyle Smith, a representative of the company. It stated, "Butterfield's manage- ment's decision to raise prices in Ann Arbor was based solely on the economic factors involved. "'The price of any service ren- dered must necessarily reflect the cost of providing such services, the letter added. Increased Costs Barry Bluestone, '65, explained to SOC that the costs of operat- ing the Butterfieldttheaters in Ann Arbor had increased, due to the recent increase in the mini- mum wage law, from 85c to $1.00. Bluestone said that the increase in wages paid to nine employees who usually work each day re- sulted in an increase of $14.85 in Across Campus Prof. Louis Weinberg, visiting professor in the engineering col- lege, has been named to the cir- cuits committee of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics En- gineers. At the same time he was reappointed chairman of the IEEE committees on linear graphs and operating costs each day. How- ever, Bluestone explained, if the Butterfield theatres fill to capa- city for only two shows each day, charging $1.25, they will take in $650 or a net gain, with the price increase, of $635.15. "Butterfield theatres can cer- tainly continue to charge $1 and still make a substantial profit," Bluestone charged. Smith's letter further stated, that "motion picture theatre ad- mission prices are not any higher in Ann Arbor than they are in comparable first run theatres, and are less than in many similar theatres." Criticizes Justification In a return letter to the com- pany, Brook crticized the state- ment as an inadequate justifica- tion. He also protested Smith's unwillingness to meet with repre- sentatives of SGC for negotiation. In other action, SGC voted to establish an SGC exchange store which will resume the activities of the Student Book Exchange. The new store will be run by three students and one full time mana- ger who will, be appointed by the executive committee of SGC. It is hoped that the store will be in operation by the end of this tri- mester. SGC also voted to recommend to the Off-Campus Housing Of- fice that they compile an accur- ate and current listing of all apartments and rooms available in Ann Arbor for student occu- pancy. Council members expressed the hope that some type of ob- jective rating scale can be used to insure adequate housing that will meet the needs of the stu- dents, IFC PRESENTS HITE JOSH PROF. BENNO FRICKE DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN Verbal SAT, which is used as an admissions criterion throughout the country. Fricke sees each test rec- ord as the profile of a real stu- dent, not just as a set of num- bers, and finds that analysis of a large number of test scores yields some interesting observa- tions. -There is a slight negative cor- relation between Creative Person- ality Scores and Achiever Person- ality Scores. -There is also a slight negative correlation between Creative Per- sonality Scores and both high school and college grades. Achievement Overemphasis Fricke said this means that, al- though high school records and academic achievement tests are useful screening devices, the uni- versities sometimes carry them too far. "The kind of person that colleges should really be concerned about is the person with a cre- ative make-up," he said. "We've got to reorganize high- er education so that creative peo- ple will not have to take courses because we think they are good for them." Fricke now hopes that more attention will be given to the. Creative Personality Scale, to the factors that determine who will be creative and to the/significance of the negative correlation be- tween creativity and college grades for the modern American univer- sity.

But at many companies it's difficult to obtain a wide range of work experiences. A college gradu- ate can join a company, get locked into one type of activity and stay there and stay there and stay there. That's not the way we do it at Ford Motor Company where our young men may work in several areas to develop their full capabilities. We believe that a thorough grounding in many phases of our business is one of the best ways to cultivate management talent. An example: Bob Anderson of our finance staff. Since Bob came to us in July, 1963, he's been Robert Anderson A.B., Univ. of So, Carolina M.B.A., Stanford University "HOLDS THE VIEWER BREATHLESS actively involved in five important areas of the Company. As a member of our finance staff, he has reviewed budget and cost programs of a division marketing cars, another manufacturing tractors and subsidiaries engaged in automobile financing and insurance. In addition, Bob was selected to assist in the 1964 national labor-management negotiations. His present assignment is as a staff budget analyst for product engineering and styling. Because of experiences like these, Bob will be able to channel his career toward the activity that interests him most.
