PSYCHOLOGIST SPEAKS
Women are confusing to men
By Swaebou Conateh
"Girls always know all about male strategy. The boys are mystified by female strategy."
With this statement, W. Edgar Vinacke, professor of psychology at the State University of New York, Buffalo campus, brought good natured laughter from his men listeners. He was answering questions at the end of his hour long lecture which was based on a series of his experiments which were carried out to determine conditions that influence coalition

formation and outcomes in comparative situations.
LIKE ALL experiments, Vinacke and his team, which did most of its work in Hawaii have a laboratory and its parts. In this case, people in groups of three called triads were made to play competitive games with chances of winning a money reward. The games have been used on various groups such as male versus female or mixed sexes. There was also individual versus intergroup competition.
Vinacke was speaking at one of a series of psychology colloquium lectures the KU psychology department has conducted throughout this academic year.
HE STRESSED the use of strategy by the different groups. After the lecture he indicated that the results of their experiments could be of immense international significance. Behavioral patterns set by people put in competitive situations could serve as the basis of a gauge on political behavior at the international level.
Questionnaires given to the participants have helped in determining the motivational factor within each individual. Each person indicates on the questionnaire if he is trying to win, or does not

THROUGHOUT HIS LECTURE Vinacke said women demonstrated a variance of behavior similar to altruism. For instance, they plot for one of the team members to win and share the prize together afterwards. They may also play badly to let a poor winner have the chance to win. He calls this attitude of women accommodative, as the United Nations also is, he said.
FROM THEIR answers, groups are classified as being accommodative or exploitative. In either case, group reaction shows a complex pattern of coalitions and deals.

The accommodative attitude contrasts with the competitive, cutthroat and exploitative attitude of men who seem to have an instinctive urge for competition. He said the accommodative aims at being fair to everyone and the cutthroat aims at winning.
Vinacke said that experiments proved that consensus matters more in intergroup competition. Vinacke stressed skill and decision making as the basis for victory.

Has the American campus gone to"pot"?
The Indians call it bhang, the Turks—hashish, the scientist—Cannabis savita. Whatever you call it, marijuana is the second most popular intoxicant in the world. What makes an increasing number of respectable students turn themselves on with a few deep inhales of a Toke pipe? Why has pot become the safe way to rebel in the 20th century? How much of a campus hang-up is LSD? Get the inside story—inside the May 21 issue of The Saturday Evening Post. Read about the codes, contacts and rituals that make the college drug scene. "Anyone want a date? I'm from U. of C." will produce a knowing Wisconsin female with $25 and an empty handbag. Five dollars will buy a special University of Texas map where a black "X" marks the spot of a marijuana patch ready for harvesting. Scuba tanks filled with the smoke of black-market Mexican "weed" are sold at Berkeley. What happens at Harvard, Columbia, N.Y.U., Antioch, Chicago? Tune yourself in to the endless list of schools with an increasing supply of drugs on campus. Get the May 21 issue of The Saturday Evening Post. Today.
