F
ish, Rats and Humans
learn at Open House
By EARL GOTTSCHALK j
Rats, fish and humans were sub-I
jects for learning and behavior
tests at the psychology open house
held Wednesday on the third floor
of Mason Hall.
Nearly 1,000 interested students
toured the exhibits in the human,
fish, and animal laboratories.
Laboratory psychologists de-
monstrated new techniques and
equipment in the laboratories, and
apparatus used in clinical and
group dynamics tests was on dis-
play in the halls.
An interesting device to aid the
social psychologist in a conference
was the "interaction recorder."
The "interaction recorder" is used
to compare people in a group with
regard to the amount of their par-
ticipation in a group discussion,
'Memory Drum'
The "memory drum," on display
in the hall, showed that it is bet-
ter to go through the material
to be studied slowly, then review,
instead of "cramming" the ma-
terial in a short, intense period.
A series of words rotates on a
drum, and the idea is to memor-
ize the words and anticipate each
word before it comes around again
on the drum.
The "zombie test" is a similar
personality test offering a series
Waterman Talk
Dr. Leroy Waterman, professor
emeritus of Semitics, will speak
before the Unitarian Student
Group at 7 p.m. Sunday.
He will discuss "Motivations and
Achievements of the Revised Ver-
sion of the Bible."

of pictures of different types of,
people to be judged by the sub-
ject. He chooses the one he pre-
fers best.
The "box" apparatus was de-
monstrated on the tour through
the animal laboratory.
The laboratory assistant placed
a rat who was conditioned to the
response in a glass box. There
was a hurdle-like collapsible par-
tition in the middle of the box the
rat had to jump over within 15
seconds after he heard a buzzer
or else 50 mill-volts of electricity
shocked him.
Dr.kNorman F. Maier of the
psychology department has used
the elevated "Y maze" to prove
that animals can reason. Rats on
an elevated Y maze use external
stimuli in the room to turn either
right or left at the "y" in the
maze toward food.
Dogs 'Shake Hands'
The scientific way to teach your
dog how to "shake hands" was
also demonstrated on the labora-
tory tour. The dog was strapped
in a wooden stock for his. head
and cloth straps to brace his body
into position.
An electrical current was gene-
rated through the apparatus until
the dog learned to lift his paw the
right height to stop the current.
The human test most liable to
drive subjects insane was a record-
ing device which repeats the words
you say in a microphone two
tenthsaof a second aofter you say
them. The demonstrator remark-
ed that lecturers are the only sub-
jects who do well on the voice re-
peating test.
The fish laboratories, located in
the basement of Mason Hall stress
psysiological psychology - struc-
ture and function of the nervous
system. Experiments with fish bri
system. Experiments with fish
bring out principles of learning
which are applicable to human be-
havior.
"The purpose of the annual open
house," according to Dr. Justin M.
Aronfreed, open house chairman,
"is to give undergraduate psycho-
logy students a chance to see the
various equipment and techniques
they hear about in classes and lec-
tures.
"Previously," Dr. Aronfreed ex-
plained, "each class toured the
animal, fish, and human labora-
tories and watched the tests and
equipment. But now, with 31 sec-
tions of psychology 31, this is im-
possible, so we devote one day a
year for an open house."
Rome Rush
ROME ()-The Italian Road
Federation knew traffic is ter-
rific in Rome but needed sta-
tistics.
So it sent a test car through
the noon rush when Italians
go home for lunch and found
it took: 41 minutes to travel
just less than 7 miles, 137 gear
shifts, 166 brakings and 198
uses of the clutch.

Ann Arbor
Schools See
1 00th Year
In contrast to its five buildings
and enrollment of 1,700 students
in 1856, the Ann Arbor public
school system now includes 12
buildings and 7,600 students.
In its centennial year the pub-
lic school system has increased
from an estimated $140,000 value
to a system worth well over fif-
teen million dollars.
According to Jack Iszay, super-
intendent of schools, the present
system, which includes nine ele-
mentary schools, two junior high
schools and the new ultra-mod-
ern Ann Arbor High School, serves
the Ann Arbor area and one hun-
dred neighboring school districts.
These districts send from one to
100 students.
This program offers such courses
as painting, homemaking and car-
pentry to interested adults. A
special education course for the
mentally retarded is also included.
The system employs 370 certi-
fied teachers, with assistance from
approximately two hundred stu-
dent teachers from the University's
School of Education.
In addition to the faculty, the
system employs 130 non-profes-
sional employees, of which sixty
are custodians and the balance are
secretaries and administrative aids.
The pay scale ranges from $3,300
to $5,700 a year for teachers with
an A.B. degree. Faculty members
with a master's degree earn from
$3,500 to $6,100, while those hav-
ing a doctorate earn from $3,899
to $6,900.
