PAGE EIGHT TH MICHIG.'aAN£ D ifA T.SSJS PAGEaEIGH THE MariallilnAf ww TUESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1961 i TEACHER TURNOVER: Cites Power Struggles Of American Education r ., - Authority and power struggles in the American educational sys- tem are responsible for a high rate of teacher turnover, Prof. Gale E. Jensen of the education school said in a recent edition.ofL the school's bulletin. "Pwower struggles develop mostly in connection with an organiza- tion's decision-making," he added. Prof. Jensen cited six sets of conditions in which these strug- gles develop. He also considered the resultant behavior of teachers ecposed to the struggles. Suspicion Arises 'When only a few persons know how any decision is made it tends Make Change, To Trimester A'PPLETON (IP) - Lawrence Colle'ge has shifted from its tra- ditionlal two semesters a year to the trimes ter plan. Studyints will take three con- centrateA courses per term in- stead of the usual five. The com- mittee wiich approved the new system lis ted more independent study, flexible scheduling and better-patt rned extra-curricular activities as some of the trimester's many advantages. COMM" -IN ., t to make them suspicious and un- communicative," he explained in the first set of conditions. Bad decisions about goals are a second cause of power struggles, he said. "A great deal of personnel energy is given to criticizing de- cisions that have been made and to expressing concern for the wel- fare of the organization."' Prof. Jensen cites personal pa- tronage and the intervention of influential persons outside the ed- ucational process as another cause of power struggles. Interdepartmental Scuffles A fourth set of conditions cen- ters on different values concern- ing educational goals. "The strug- gles here usually take the form of scuffles between teachers and ad- ministrators of the humanities, the arts, the sciences, and the practical arts," he explained. "Candidates for administrative posts are chosen for their values and attitudes more than for their actual competence in performing the job well," Prof. Jensen felt. Power struggles are also creat- ed when some outside force holds a "police power" over the orga- nization. "The newcomers appear to be meddlers and bureaucratic nuisances. "The educational system has a tendency to employ personnel who are unable to contribute to in- structional work but are skillful at 'keeping the enemy at bay'," Prof. Jensen explains. Finally, Prof. Jensen cited "the failure of personnel in authority roles to make the decisions needed by the educational system." NIC Meets To Discuss Goals, Plans By MICHAEL ZWEIG Four representatives of the Uni- versity'5 Interfraternity Council joined some 1500 other fraternity members and alumni from around the country at the 54th National Interfraternity Conference held in Pittsburgh Nov. 29-Dec. 1. "The major area of discussion at the conference was the pos- sibility and necessity for fraterni- ties to function as an academic complement to university life," administrative vice-president of IFC, Fred Riecher, '63, said after returning from the conference. According to Riecker, a definite proposal for action by fraternities was made by Andrew Truxal, pres- ident of Anne Arundel Community College. Truxal suggested that fraterni- ties establish certain academic fa- cilities such as a library contain- ing standard reference material, and discussion rooms where aca- demic people might be invited to speak, Riecher said. NIC also discussed the fraternity as a social outlet in universities which pay little attention to social matters, Riecher added. Although NIC passes no resolu- tions or formal motions, it acts as an advisory body for fraternity policy and disscusses the goals and problems of fraternities, ac- cording to an official NIC publi- cation. Other IFC members at the con- ference were president, John Mey- erholz, '63, executive vice-presi- dent, David Croysdale, '63, and secretary, James Denbo, '63. By ROBERT SELWA Labor union leaders from the United States, Bolivia and Indo- nesia discussed "The Emerging Nations" with Samuel Hayes, Saul Padover and Prof. Vera Micheles Dean recently at the conference on "Our Changing World." Mrs. Dean, contributor to the controversial Liberal Project and professor of international develop- ment at New York University, ex- plored the inability of the United States and the emerging nations to understand each other. Padover, author of over 20 books and a political scientist at the New School for Social Science, noted how new and widely desired democracy is. Rich Nations Hayes, former professor of eco- nomics at the University and now president of the Foreign Policy Association, cited statistics to il- lustrate the widening gap be- tween the rich nations and the poor nations. The United States was born an adult, Mrs. Dean pointed out. Un- like the countries of Europe, Afri- ca and Asia, the United States had no dark ages. "We inherited all the fruits of all the revolutions of the past," she explained. The emerging nations are now going through these revolutions, she continued, and it is a shat- tering experience. "There is a rap- id telescoping of many revolutions into one revolution of change. The developing nations have the bends physically, mentally, socially, in adjusting to these immense chang- es. Non-Western "The whole universe is chang- ing around you when you live in the non-Western countries," said Mrs. Dean, author of "The Na- ture of the Non-Western World." The United States is not well 'OUR CHANGING WORLD': Discuss 'Emerging Nations' ,. equipped to understand the prob- lems of the emerging nations be- cause of a different starting point, she explained. "Our best contri- bution would be to send techni- cians to the non-Western coun- tries to work with them in devel- oping themselves." Padover described this age as the age of the democratic revolu- tion. Democracy was unpopular as an idea until Walt Whitman pop- ularized it; the founding fathers did not use the word democracy, he said. Noble Democracy Woodrow Wilson popularized democracy for the rest of the world, showing people its nobility, greatness and opportunities, Pad- over said. "Wilson's ideas began to change the world. The new leaders of the world began to seek the democratic ideal. Even the Communists have taken up the Wilsonian ideal." Padover stressed that democra- cy is a political system and is not tied by necessity to any economic system such as capitalism or so- cialism. He described the three basic elements of democracy as freedom, equality and justice. "Democracy is not utopia-it is simply a political arrangement for a humane way of living, and the most stable and most legitimate way," he said. Slow Achievement "Let's not be impatient if the Asians are slow in achieving de- mocracy-it is still far from per- fect in the United States even though we have been at it much longer." Hayes said the rich nations are getting richer more quickly and growing in population more slowly than the poor nations. "The gap is widening between the more in- dustrialized and the less indus- trialized countries," he said. Describing this as a stark situ- ation, he noted that ntot only are populations growing more rapid- ly but also they are crowding into cities. The three spoke on the second day of the two-day conference. The sessions also heard six-time Socialist Party candidate for pres- ident Norman Thomas and Prof. Kenneth Boulding of the eco- nomics department.
