Page 2 University Daily Kansan Monday, May 12. 1958 Don't Be Too Strict Ever since psychologists suggested to parents that children could be permitted to make their own decisions, there has been violent argument about proper child-rearing. Many of us, from moderately strict homes ourselves, object seriously to children's being given a free rein at home. This month's issue of McCall's reports on a four-year study of children brought up in "strict" and "permissive" homes. The children studied came from happy homes "in which children were wanted and given plenty of love." The results of the study contrast amazingly with accepted views regarding child development. The children from permissive homes were more creative, spontaneous, self-reliant and socialized. In fact, reports from teachers indicated that children from strict homes tended to be resentful. These children bottled up their resentment and were hard to get along with. This study does not pretend to say why the children from permissive and strict homes have these respective personality characteristics, but it should raise a big question in the mind of any parent. As a country we have always prided ourselves in freeing our citizens to develop their own abilities. Science seems to indicate that we should go one step further—free our children from our too often dictatorial restraints, so they too may develop their abilities. —Carol Stilwell To Europe For 7 Cents There's a sure-fire way to get to Europe for not more than 7 cents. And the beauty of the idea is that you can leave at 9 a.m. and be back for your 11 a.m. class if you choose. To take this quick tour, you won't have to go by boat or by plane. You just go to the Hawk's Nest of the Kansas Union, buy yourself a cup of coffee and strike up a conversation with a group of European foreign students. They'll take you almost anywhere you'd like to go. Can you think of a better way to spend 7 cents? Budget Cut For The Birds Evelyn Hall There was bad news today for the Supreme Court justices and for American diplomats living abroad. The justices will have to get along with their "dirty birds" for another year. The diplomats will have to get along with less whisky money than they had hoped for. The House Appropriations Committee turned down the justices' plea for $33,000 to install an electronic device to give the hot foot to birds who desecrate the marble edifice which houses the Supreme Court. The Committee reached its decision on the Supreme Court's request after hearing testimony that the device would merely chase the birds over to the Capitol which has plenty of its own already. The Committee also slashed to $650,000 a budget request for $1,000,000 to help American diplomats abroad finance the entertainment expected of them. Last year Congress provided $600,000 for this purpose. The State Department calls it the "representation allowance." Some congressional critics call it the "whisky fund." The Committee took these actions in approving a $570,722,613 money bill to finance the State and Justice Departments, the Judiciary and The U. S. Information Agency in the fiscal year starting July 1. It acknowledged need for having diplomats properly trained in foreign languages. But it said in its report that "it seriously questions the advisability of maintaining a language school located in a villa on the Riviera at Nice, France, at a cost of $2,512 per student with a complement of 18 employees for 25 pupils." A budget request for $2,400,000 for emergency conferences and other international contingencies was slashed by the committee to $1,500,000. "In event of a so-called Summit Conference," the Committee said it "recognized" that Congress would have to provide additional funds later. The Committee directed The Bureau of Prisons to hire four additional prison chaplains instead of one, as proposed by the Administration. It said testimony showed that four additional chaplains were needed. The funds allotted for USIA included the full $2,900,000 requested to complete construction of a high-powered land-based broadcasting facility in the Greek area to replace the ship-borne transmitter courier.
