r THE MICHIGAN DAILY THURSDAYFEBRUARY 18. 1960 PROGRAM EXPLAINED: Train Teachers of Disturbed Children r v - to be able to manage the children on her own," Prof. Cutler ex- plained. Set Up Program The psychologists set up what might be called a three-point pro- gram which they try in one form or another in all the local schools they work in. First come "executive seminar developments for principals," where the principals are persuaded to "redefine their roles." "Not much thought is usually put into a principal's role," Prof. McNeil said. "Being the only free agent in the school, he's the per- son who answers the phone when the secretary's having coffee. Everyone brings their garbage and dumps it on him." Lectures Useless The mental health experts see the principal as "the gatekeeper to mental health and try to have him feel the same after the train- ing sessions-("lectures are a use- less way to get ideas across, semi- nars are much better," Prof. Mc- Neil said).. Seminars are also arranged for the "special service people," and these seminars are "knock-down drag-out fights" not "we're bring- ing you up to date on the latest interpretation of Freud." Above all, the professors try not to sound like experts giving detached advice. Most important, the mental health consultants work with the teachers, After a casual appioach to let the teachers know in effect "we know something about your prob- lems and we can do something about them," the teachers break up into groups to talk about dynamics of group behavior, or the adolescent child, for example. "We want more acute diagnoses from the teachers and we want to help them set up a plan to work out a problem," Prof. McNeill said. .Often a teacher will see a prob- lem child's parent is alcoholic and take that for an answer. However, an alcoholic parent could have any of 40 different effects on a child. Research on the effectiveness of this new mental health program shows no conclusive benefits yet, Prof. Cutler said. "But the more the teachers saw a peer-type friendly relationship existing with the consultant the more satisfied they were with the program." Current research in the Oak Park, Mich., area will tell soon what effect the teachers' new skills in handling emotional disturb- ances are having on the children's adjilstment, he added. Weavers Here Saturday Bureau Aids In Guidance, Employment "Furnishing vocational informa- tion and guidance to students and alumni and helping both find posi-} tions during the summer on a per- manent basis, is our aim," Evarts W. Ardis, director of the Bureau of Appointments stated.. p The Bureau of Appointments,r located on the third floor of the Administration Building, consistsF of four divisions. Underclassmen, seniors, graduate students, and alumni are eligible to use their services.1 Place Candidate By registering candidates for all types of teaching and administra- tive positions, the educational di-1 vision can place people in elemen- tary and secondary schools as1 well as universities. "Almost everyC day alumni who graduated five, 10,z 20, or even 40 years ago call upon us for our services," Ardi re- ported. The general division offers as- sistance to candidates and em- ployers in all fields other than education. The Bureau maintains an extensive and constantly in- creasing file of contacts. Several hundred employers hold campus interviews each year, and several thousand requests are received from others who cannot visit thej University. Provide Assistance 1 Assistance is provided through the summer placement division toi those interested in three types of summer work: positions in public and private campus; employment at resorts; and try-out positions1 which are offered by business firms to students who may later be in- terested in permanent employment with that organization. Bureau Registration The Bureau offers the career counseling service to students and alumni who wish assistance in reaching a decision regarding their choice of careers and vocational endeavors and maintains an ex- tensive occupational information library describing 700 occupations. Students and alumni can easily use the Bureau's services. The first step is to register with the Bu- reau and help them form a per- manent set of credentials consist- ing of data that will be demanded by the prospective employer. Berg Studies Quake Effects On Buildings Prof. Glen V. Berg of the civil! engineering department has been studying the effects of earthquakes on buildings, without even ap- proaching an earthquake, since 1956. Earthquake data and building specifications are fed into a com-! puter to determine the forces and stresses of the earthquake. The computer mathematically simu- lates the earthquake, and its ef- fects on the different parts of the structure can be fairly accur- ately determined. Student Assists Spiro S. Thomaides, Grad., has been assisting Prof. Berg since 1959 on the projectwhich is sup- ported by the National Science Foundation and administered by the University's Research Insti- tute, (UMRI). Prof. Berg called his work "pure- ly analytical." Can't Use Models Experimental models would be of little value, Prof. Berg ex- plained. Even if it were possible to construct an accurate model of the building, the earthquake could not be simulated closely enough with dynamite or by other arti- ficial means. Energy Consumed "The building feels an earth- quake as a series of shock waves. By studying how structures would respond to past quakes, we can learn more about designing them to withstand future ones." The problem in designing build- ings to resist quakes lies in getting rid of the energy the shock waves send into the structures. The building consumes energy as it shakes back and forth and the energy that isn't thus absorbed may shake the building apart. party in the Soviet Union.
