If you've ever been puzzled over behavior of your classmates, or your love, or your professors, look into the field of human relations It may help solve the puzzle. Such puzzles are being discussed every day in human relations classes in the College of Liberal Arts and the Business School.
Take the case of Mu Nu fraternity. A student wanted to pledge Mu Nu at Humphrey College where his father was graduated a member of Mu Nu. He didn't make the pledge list but his roommate did. Persons have concluded Danny has an inferiority complex, that he's been persecuted, and that he's overly concerned with class barriers.
Object Of Human Relations
"The object of human relations study is to help you develop skill and understanding in diagnosing human problems and in learning ways to deal with those problems," said Dr. Howard Baumgartel, assistant professor in human relations.
"Often married students who enroll in a human relations course claim they understand each other better after taking the course, but others gain nothing, either because of the case method or for other reasons," Dr. Baumgartel said.
"Some students say they really get something out of a course. Established professors claim courses in human relations are a great inspiration to teaching."
Sensitivity Principal Goal Development of sensitivity to people is a principal goal of human relations courses. A responsible attitude toward education, toward work and community groups is another goal. Such goals are aided by grappling with the troublesome, real-life problem of a responsible person.
When he diagnoses the problem, a student in the course often tries to escape from making a decision both about the case and in his own life. Various escape methods have been observed. A student may switch the subject, or think someone else ought to do something for the person, or he appeals to Divinity.
Acceptance Of Feeling Necessary Acceptance of feeling is necessary. When a student recognizes how he felt in a previous situation similar to a present situation in which another person is involved, he finds himself on common footing. Understanding, perhaps communication, may be achieved.
When the instructor steps in and guides the thinking back to reality, the student is forced to think about what can be done within the given situation.
Probably the greatest reward for any person in human relations is the recognition that fears, loves, and shames which lie deeply buried are shared by other persons.

What young people are doing at General Elec
Young engineer works on new ways to remove heat from atomic reactors
Levy's Work Interesting, Vital
25,000 College Graduates at General Electric
An atomic reactor running at full efficiency creates a tremendous amount of heat in its core. By removing this heat and putting it to work boiling water to make steam, atomized electricity is produced.
One of the men responsible for designing new, more efficient ways to remove heat from atomic reactors is 29-year-old Doctor Salomon Levy - Design Analysis supervisor in the Atomic Power Equipment Department's Reactor Engineering Unit.
When Salomon Levy came to General Electric in 1953, he already knew the kind of work he wanted to do. Like each of our 25,000 college-graduate employees, he was given his chance to grow and realize his full potential. For General Electric has long believed this: Whenever fresh young minds are given the freedom to make progress, everybody benefits—the individual, the company, and the country.
Dr. Levy conceived the idea of building this complex system, designed it and supervised its construction.At present,Levy works with this system to study new problems of heat transfer and fluid flow encountered in atomic power plants.
To study this problem of heat transfer, G.E. recently constructed a heat-transfer system. By electrically simulating the heat produced in a reactor, it is possible to determine the maximum rate at which heat can be removed from a reactor to make steam.

DR. SALOMON LEVY joined G.E., in 1953 after receiving his B.S., in M.E., from the Univ, of Calif., in 1949. In 1951 he received his M.S., and in 1953 his Ph.D. From '49-50 he was teaching assistant at U. of C., and '50-53 he was Junior Research Engineer at the Institution of Engineering Research.
