Report Lauds Group Living
A report on the sociological aspect of group living has been drawn up by Winifred Meyer, housing committee member, to be integrated with material on other aspects of the housing problem and presented to the board of regents next Friday.
Thursday, Jan. 8, 1953
Miss Meyer interviewed Carroll D. Clark, professor of sociology, to get a professional viewpoint on benefits of group living.
The report brought out that a person living alone in a private room is likely to become introverted because there will be no discussion or stimulus for development. College becomes a grind, and the person does not take advantage of opportunities offered.
Prof. Clark claims "much of the education which college life has to offer for individual growth is acquired outside class experience while living in integrated groups such as the projected dormitories would house. Students having advantages of group living will have a richer and fuller life." he said.
Prof. Clark pointed out students cannot be expected to live in attic rooms the way earlier students did because of our increased standard of living. He said statistics indicate the cause of many cases of nervous instability and suicide can be traced directly to the attitudes engendered by attic type living.
The report stated the following five advantages of group living: 1. The student learns to govern himself and become versed in group skills. 2. The student learns to relate himself to other members of the group. 3. The student learns to adjust himself to different opinions and personalities which fits him for family life. 4. The student learns to articulate. The value of self-ex-pression is recognized. 5. No longer will the student not accepted in scholarship halls and fraternal organizations be bitterly disappointed.
In conclusion the report pointed out the need for more dormitories is vital from the standpoint of both the physical and sociological aspects.
Pakistan Police Fire on Rioters
Karachi, Pakistan —(U.P.)—Police opened fire on thousands of rioting students at the center of this capital today, killing two and wounding three seriously.
Twelve persons had been reported injured before the firing began—nine students and three police.
Belgrade, Yugoslavia (U.P.)—Marshal Tito today received seven top-ranking Roman Catholic prelates in Yugoslavia in a two-hour conference to discuss a possible church-state agreement.
Tito, Churchmen Meet in Belgrade
It was reported that rioters set fire to the Cadillac automobile of Pakistan's interior minister, Musthaq Gurmari, when he drove to one scene of disturbance and appealed to the students to disperse.
The rioters agreed to withdraw if the police did likewise, witnesses said, but the police refused. Torches were applied to the minister's automobile in the clash that ensued.
Today's conference with Catholic prelates was believed intended by Marshal Tito as an attempt to heal the breach between church and state that developed from the arrest and imprisonment of Archbishop Alosius Steimpin, recently designated a cardinal.
