New Approach Used In Psychology Experiments
A new approach in teaching experiments in general psychology is being used by the department of psychology at the University, said William Thompson, instructor in psychology.
After being given a psychological problem, students, with help from the laboratory teachers, design an approach for the experiment. After performing the experiment, the students write a report and later criticize their work in class.
The usual procedure is for the teachers to have the experiment made up and then have the students perform it. "Our method is not used anywhere else that we know of. We feel it provides a better method of grounding students in the methods of science," Mr. Thompson said.
About 100 students are enrolled in the course, "Introduction to Laboratory Techniques in Psychology," which is trying the new approach.
Teachers assisting students in their experiments are Alex Sweet, assistant professor of psychology; Betty Stewart, Aldo Vigliano, Christopher Fried and David Meister, assistant instructors in psychology.
One psychological problem used in the past was testing the effect of distraction on the ability to study or memorize. The subjects studied cards while distracted by flashing lights, radio noise, and even the
sound of someone beating on an anvil. They were then tested on what they could remember.
Another experiment with distraction was that of having subjects add four columns of figures while reciting previously memorized poetry. Results showed this was by far the worst distraction with which the students experimented with.
The class is divided into groups of 15 and these groups divide into groups of four or five.
At the end of the semester, the students do an experiment working individually or in groups of two. They select any psychological experiment they wish, design the approach, and perform the experiment
One student did an art preference survey. He pasted reproductions of paintings on paper and put the names of the painters at the bottom of the picture. The painter may or may not have done the painting.
Fine arts students were asked their opinions of which paintings they liked best. The results showed,
Ambassador Endorses Tito's Defense Moves
Belgrade, Yugoslavia (U.P) U. S. Ambassador George V. Allen early today endorsed Marshal Tito's preparations to defend Yugoslavia against any Soviet invasion.
Allen broadcast to the United States less than 12 hours after Tito told Yugoslav war veterans that "any attack against us will be broken against the granite unity of our people."
"Stalin has not yet ordered his satellites to march and from this we may draw encouragement," Allen said.
"But we may also draw a simple lesson, which is that determination and a strong military defense are very persuasive arguments these days in favor of peace.
"It's not for us to say that Yugoslavia cannot be overpowered. One thing, however, seems certain. Any-one who undertakes to challenge this nation with arms will pay dearly for the adventure."
Tito, speaking to the National Congress of Liberation war veterans, reiterated charges contained last Friday in a government white book that Russia was planning aggression against Yugoslavia. "If I did not appear," he explained, "The Cominform (Communist Information bureau) would say I had been liquidated."
Tito charged that the Cominform nations of Eastern Europe "have invented the concept of preventive war—such as sending volunteers into Korea. According to their logic, an attack with rifle in hand is for preservation of peace. But actually, all of world history has proved that anyone who attacks another is actually an aggressor."
Tito said Soviet deputy foreign minister Andrei A. Gromykoy brought up the Trieste issue at the Big Four Paris meeting last week because "what the Russians want is to complete the strategic encirclement of Yugoslavia's borders."
KFKU Auditions To Be This Week
KFKU Players auditions will be held from 5 to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday and from 7:45 to 10:00 p.m. Thursday in the KFKU studio in the Engineering Experimental Station building.
Mrs. Ruby LeNeve Motta, director of KFKU production, said that no experience is necessary to belong. "Only an interest in radio production is required," she emphasized.
in general, that the students tended to select the painting by the name of the painter and not by the picture itself. In psychology this is considered "social pressure."
The biggest trouble in the experiments is getting subjects, Mr. Thompson said. Students almost have to be drafted. Psychology students have a habit of putting the pressure on students sitting in Strong basement.
Pi Phi's, ATO's Win Revue
Two 86" traveling trophies for the winners of the Rock Chalk revue contest were awarded to the Pi Beta Phi sorority and the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity after the final performance March 11.
Second place trophies were awarded to Sigma Kappa sorority in the women's division and Phi Delta Theta in the Men's division.
The winning skit of Pi Beta Phil centered around the lawyers on the steps of Green hall noticing the girls passing by. The skit was directed by Janet Maloney, education junior and Marianne Gear, College senior. The skit was a house project, as most of the women in the house participated in the performance.
James Brunson, journalism senior, wrote and directed "The Children's Hour," the Alpha Tau Omega winning skit in the men's division. The skit was a take-off on the Cinderella story, complete with a flying "Fairy Housemother."
An Arabian harem, Scotch lasies, farmers' daughters, and female sailors were used by the Sigma Kappa sorority in a skit titled "1-A Charlie."
"And They Sang as They Came West" was the title of the Phi Delta Theta skit. Jack Ward, College junior, directed the skit which was based on the singing spirit of the Kansas pioneer from 1850 to 1860.
Chancellor Deane W. Malott presented the trophies to the directors of the winning skits.
Pictured above is Beverlee Strasser, fine arts freshman, who was a member of the Chi Omega skit entitled "Queen-Fiends Routine."
To Describe Mail Advertising
John E. Tillotson, president of Modern Handicraft of Kansas City, Mo., will speak on direct mail advertising at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in Strong auditorium.
Mr. Tillotson is the publisher of The Work Basket, a magazine on handicraft which has a circulation of more than one million. He has spoken to advertising groups in Omaha, Des Mines, Tulsa, and Chicago. The meeting is open to the public.
Library Stacks Open To Grads
Graduate students are now admitted to the circulation stacks and the stacks behind the biology desk, deLafayette Reid, assistant director of libraries, has announced.
Formerly they were not admitted because the library was unable to differentiate them from undergraduates, Mr. Reid said. Now I.D. cards indicate their graduate standing.
Graduate students must still have an instructor's request to take restricted library material outside the building, Mr. Reid said.
Quill Club To Meet Tonight
Quill club will have a special meeting at 7:30 p.m. tonight to discuss the suggested combining of Trend magazine with Upstream magazine, Robert Sanford, president said today. The meeting will be in the ballroom of the Union.
Speaker's Books Available
Books by Dr. Nels F. S. Ferre, leading speaker for Religious Emphasis week, are available at the Student Union bookstore. They are "Christianity and Society." "Pillars of Faith," and "Return to Christianity."
Sermons To Students Sunday Open Religious Week
Sin develops from a person's lack of faith. Dr. Nels Ferre, professor of philosophical theology at Vanderbilt university, said Sunday night at a union service attended by more than 200 University students at the Methodist church. It was one of the opening meetings of Religious Emphasis week.
Dr. Ferre said "in regard to oneself sin is perversion, the failure to realize God's plan for one's life; in regard to others it is selfishness, and in regard to God it is faithlessness or rebellion."
The important thing about salvation is not how it takes place, but that God ultimately becomes central in one's personal life, Dr. Ferre emphasized.
Dr. Frank Rearick, moderator of the Topeka Presbytery, spoke to the Westminster Fellowship group on "The Will of God."
Earlier, students heard other guest speakers at evening fellowship meetings of their churches.
Dr. Rearick said that "crisis is omnipresent," and that man and society constantly face calamity. He enumerated the resources peculiar to the Christian that are necessary
to meet every situation. He said, "we must have a faith for inner strength, a hope for courage, an inner light to guide our lives, a refuge to meet the needs of rest, and a continuing purpose in life."
Dr. William W. Adams, president of the Central Baptist Theological seminary, Kansas City, Kan., spoke and led a discussion at a joint meeting of the Baptist and Disciples of Christ students.
Dr. Adams stressed that all Christians are fellow stewards who are to help Christ govern God's universe. The group discussed motivation and purpose in a Christian life.
He said that we are being influenced by a national mass hysteria which is closing our minds to other points of view. "It is only faith and love which can dispel fear and bring serenity into our lives."
The Rev. Paul Deats, of the University of Texas, spoke before the Wesley foundation on "The University Christian and His Fears."
Dr. Jaroslav Pelikan, professor of historical theology at Concordia seminary, Fort Wayne, Ind., "spoke at the Gamma Delta meeting at the Immanual Lutheran church. The subject of his talk was "The Challenge of Communism and the Christian Intellectual."
The challenge of Communism is not merely economic or political. Dr. Pelikan said. Marxism analyzes and criticizes existing society from a predominantly ethical viewpoint and by its interpretation of history, gives its followers a sense of purpose and direction.
If the Christian intellectual is to be equal to the Communist challenge he must "develop an ethical sensitivity to existing society which opposes injustice wherever it occurs." He must also "seek to develop a view of life as coming from one God and responsible to Him."
