THE MICHIGAN DAILY SUNDAY W * 5- s -:crap Group Dynamics Center Makes Classroom Study GIVE STUDENT AID: World UniversityService To Start Drive By SUSAN HERSHBERG v J-HOP-ThIs year the all-campus tradition may end. Attendance has been getting smaller each year. Last year, J-Hop lost money. SGC will decide the future of this event this week. Campus J-Hop Faces Extinction by SGC By JEROME WEINSTEIN "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 report of a survey of grade school 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." Loehr Leaves For Harvard This Summer The History of Art Department has announced that Prof. Max Loehr will leave the University this July to teach at Harvard University where he will become the first Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Professor of Oriental Art. Prof. Loehr has taught Far Eastern art here since 1951. Before -joining the University faculty, Prof. Loehr, a native of Germany, was the curator of oriental art at the Museum Fur Volkerkunde in Munich. Prof. Loehr, who received his doctor of philosophy degree from the University of Munich in 1936, went to China in 1941 as director of the Sino-German Institute in Peking. He was a professor at China's Tsinghua University. He returned to Germany when the Communists took over. -- The World University Service fund drive will begin May 9 and will last for three days.
