POP ULATION CRISES:
Growth Passes Three Billion
MUG Gets Face-Lifting
'PSYCHOLOGICAL DRIVES':
Professors Study Achievement Factors
By THOMAS DRAPER
The world's population has just
passed the three billion mark and
is moving ahead an at annual rate
of 1.8 per cent.
The greatest rates of growth are
in Central America and Southwest
Asia according to the latest Unit-
ed Nations Demographic Survey.
Commenting on 'the recent
growth in population, Prof. A. H.
Hawley of the sociology depart-
ment said in an interview that the
Service Lends
Play Collection
T o Amateurs
Students, professors, community
Stheatres and others in search of
a play to perform may find the
needed help at the University Li-
brary Extension Service.
"Our. play-lending service' al-
,"lows them to borrow plays for
"their selection "committees to
r ead,",Miss Clover M. Flanders,
e tension librarian, explained.
"The collection is extensive and
is supplemented regularly by the
drama publishers as plays are re-
leased for amateur use in this
area," she added.
Publishers catalogs are also
available.
To Give Shots
For Influenza
Flu shots will be given at Health
Service on Thursday and Friday
of this week.
Hours are: 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.,
and 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. The shots,
which will cover all types of in-
fluenza, will be available to stu-
dents at $1.00 and to members of
the faculty at $1.50.
Those who had a series of shots
last year will find one shot now
" to be sufficient, according to
Health Service officials. Anyone
who did not have such a series
Will need two shots, six to eight
weeks apart. Opportunity for the
second shot in the series will be
given later.

social and religious norms of these
areas often prevent population
control.
tantly determined that this will
not happen in other areas of Cen-
tral and South America.
Prof. Hawley said that the pri-
mary factor determining the pop-
ulation an area could support is
economic development. The areas
where increasing population re-
sults in deepening poverty are re-
ceptive to Communist propaganda
and revolt.
He said that the United States
has chosen to help these under-
developed countries by aiding their
economy rather than take the
more controversial course of try-
ing to control population.
Legalized Abortion
"In isolated areas there are pro-
grams to c o n t r o 1 population
growth," Prof. Hawley said. "Ja-
pan has legalized abortion. The
government of Taiwan is advocat-
ing the use of contraceptives. Prof.
Hawley said India has planned 20,-
000 family planning clinics. How-
ever, lack of personnel to oper-,
ate the clinics has limited them to
?00."
There have been no new scien-
tific breakthroughs that would en-
able a larger population to enjoy
the same or a .higher standard of
living. However, medical technol-
ogy has made the death rate easy
to lower.
"The use of DDT and immuniza-
tion shots lowered the death rate
in Sicily and Ceylon by 40 per
cent in months," Prof. Hawley
said. "One of the great moral ques-
tions of our time is whether we
can withhold life saving techniques
until the economy is ready for the
people.
"The accuracy and interpreta-
tion of these new statistics must
be examined," Prof. Hawley cau-
tioned.
"In recent years methods of
census taking have greatly im-
proved. A thirty per cent increase
in population could be due to
counting people that just weren't
counted before."
By GERALD STORCH
Using University High School
and Elementary School as their
research laboratory, four profes-
sors are investigating some of the
social and psychological drives
that have a significant affect upon
the educational achievements of
school-age children.
The three-year project, support-
ed by a $90,000 grant from the
United States Office of Education,
is probing into aggressions, group
dimensions, creative thinking and
perceptual development these chil-
dren exhibit.
The four researchers-Professors
Warren Ketcham and William
Morse of the education school,
and Richard Cutler and Elton Mc-
Neil of the psychology department
-will integrate their findings into
a comprehensive final report.
Use Equipment
They are using psychological ap-
paratus tests, a variety of intelli-
gence tests, class observation and
interviews with parents as their
major means of gathering data,
and will follow up these patterns,
relating the data to several in-
dices, as the children develop
through the years.
The researchers hope to gain a
renewal of their grant at the end
of the three-year period, because,
as Prof. Cutler pointed out yester-
day, the entire childhood period
should be studied for a thorough
understanding of school achieve-
ment.

Prof. Ketcham is looking into

attempting to develop an adequate
mechanism of discerning and
measuring signs of creativity in
early childhood.
Anti-School Outlooks
Group characteristics that re-
sult in anti-school or educational-
ly-favorable outlooks are Prof.
Morse's area of inquiry. He is
examining a hypothesis that if a
class of children is kept intact
through several years, the group
attitude towards schooling will re-
main the same.

Prof. Cutler is researching the
cognitive and perceptual develop-
ment of children as young as three
years old. He is trying to find out
when each child learns to discrim-
inate among symbols (for instance,
in telling a "b" from a "d"), and
by what means this development
can be discovered and measured.
Aggression-how it emerges and
how it is expressed-is Prof. Mc-
Neil's field of investigation. Prob-
lems such as how aggressive in-
stincts are channeled into fighting
or bullying, or into leadership and
outstanding schoolwork, are being
considered.

there is some resistance in the
Moslem religion because four is a
magic number and, therefore, the
preferred size for a family.
Manhood is believed to be dem-
onstrated by having male progeny.
Wherever the family is the econ-
omic unit, the family will increase
its numbers to gain economic
strength.
In Central America the Cath-
olic Church prohibits any system
of birth control except the rhythm
method. Prof. Hawley said, how-
ever, that to expect the use of. the
rhythm method with semi-literate
people was ludicrous because they
did not have the knowledge nec-
essary to make it work.
He said that in Puerto Rico the
Church was pushed aside and birth
control information is available.
However, the Church is now mili-

"A program of orientation for
fraternity men who are interested
in becoming members of Student
Government Coucil or working in
related areas of activities" was
approved by Fraternity Presidents
Association at their retreat Sept.
13, according to Inter-Fraternity
Council President John Meyerholz,
'63BAd.
Meyerholz explained the purpose
of the experimental program "is
to inform the men on many of the
issues important to them as poten-
tial SGC candidates."
Improve Candidates
He said he hopes programs like
this will improve the quality of
future SGC candidates. "We wish
other organizations would pick this
idea up," Meyerholz said.
Panhellenic President Ann Mc-
Millan said no such program is
planned for her group this year.
She explained she thinks it is very
important that women "under-
stand how SGC works, understand
what types of things it considers,
and understand the beliefs of
members and candidates."
Consider Plan Next Year
A plan like the FPA program
"might be a very good idea for

In other action, FPA approved a
change in the counseling system
used during Aish.
Beginning this year, each stu-
dent participating in rush will be
assigned a counselor to help with
any problems he encounters. Pre-
viously, unassigned counselors were
