Campus J-Hop Faces Extinction by SGC

"Group dynamics work, espec-
ially in the area of. the classroom,
is relatively new," Elmer van Eg-
mond, research assistant at the
University's Center for Group Dy-
namics, said.
He said there can be little doubt
as to the value of group dynamic
studies in the school room. In one

CORE Plans
Study Group
By MICHAEL OLINICK
The Congress of Racial Equality
is seeking Southern students for
an international action institute
to be held this August in Miami,
Florida.
"Participants will study the
theory of non-violence, but the
emphasis will be upon its practical
application in action situations,"
Gordon R. Carey, organization
field director said.
"Evaluation will be based on
actual successes and failure ex-
perienced in direct, non-violent
projects."'
Trainees in the course will be
expected to put the principles of
non-violence and passive resist-
ance into practice in their own
community, the CORE leader said.
CORE, which has been prominent
in Negro demonstrations in the
South this year, held a similar
institute last summer.
Participants will be limited to
about 30 Negroes and whites be-
cause of the intensive nature of
the training. Applicants for the
program must also waive all rights
to damages against the institute
arising from personal injury suf-
fered as a result of activities
against discrimination.
Tuition for the institute is $150,
but some scholarship aid is being
offered to students.
Miami's city manager M. L.
Reese said he did not understand
why his city had been chosen for
the institute, because an inter-
racial citizen's committee has been
formed there. He said he thought
that progress had been made to-
ward an agreement to end segre-
gation where demonstrations had
been staged in the city.
Union Readies
children made by the Group Dy-
namics Center, a number of sig-
nificant facts about the contem-
porary classroom emerged.
First, there is a definite social
power structure within the class-
room. This power structure was
tabulated in one elementary school
by having students rate their
classmates on a four point scale
indicating the degree to which the
person being rated could influence
others to do what he wanted them
to do.
Have Position
It quickly became apparent that
every student had a position,
whether high qr low, somewhere
in this power structure, and this
position determined how effective
the student was in his dealings
with others.
"There is, in other words," Mr.
van Egmond said, "a definite cor-
relation between a person's learn-
ing ability and his Status in the
social structure.
The implactions of a study such
as this are indeed profound, he
pointed out. The teacher of today
must acquire a new dimension to
his traditional character. He must
not only know thoroughly the
subject he is teaching and be able
to present it in the most effectual
manner possible, but he must also
be somewhat of a social worker
in administering the classroom,
Affect Performance
He'must realize that a child's
relations with his peers, whether
he is liked or disliked for example,
will often affect that child's per-
formance in class.
How to make the teacher aware
of the importance the classroom
has in affecting the student? Mr.
van Egmond explained that "Un-
fortunately, group dynamic re-
ports of this kind as yet are found
in professional journals intended
for other investigators, rather
than for the practical application-
er, the teacher."
