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. .si r A+ } ) t # f MM.,.«ry M h i MM44{ ;ice ::::..:...... ,,.. ...,. .........

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.

Saws buzz, hammers pound, but it's all caused by the remodeling effort now under way in the Michigan Union. TRAINEE PLAN: FPA Initiates Pro grain For SGC Leadership Prof. Ketcham is looking into the creative thinking process, and 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. U r MMIoinmoerGooZ rT.

N. Y. Post I 1 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. Dial 8-6416 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- GRADUATES ELIGIBLE: Scholarships Now Available For Study in Great Britain By ELLEN SILVERMAN Applications are available Im- mediately for Marshall Scholar- ships for study in Great Britain.

Sawyer To Speak To Nuclear Society The student branch of the Amer- ican Nuclear Society is sponsoring a talk by Vice-President for Re- search and Dean of the Graduate School Ralph A. Sawyer on "Re- search at the University" at 7:30 p.m. today in Room 3B of the Michigan Union. By JAMES NICHOLS "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 ORGAN IZATION NOTICES USE OF THIS COLUMN for announce- ments is available to officially recog- nized and registered organizations only.

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 available in the Union. Meyerholz predicted the new system would be more effective.
