Political Study Getting Sociology Emphasis
"Sociological behavior is rising in importance in the field of political science," said Ethan P. Allen, professor of political science and director of the Governmental Research Center, in an interview yesterday.
"The emphasis has gone from the historic jurist to an increasing of the study and value of behavioral patterns, mathematics and psychology," he said.
Prof. Allen, who got his Ph.D from the State University of Iowa, said when he was in school it was common to get a major in political science and a minor in history. This has now changed and only one-fourth get a minor in history, with the rest following a course of sociology, economics or mathematics for their minor.
"NOW THAT intellectual wisdom has increased, the speculative approach which utilizes mathematics, sociology and psychology has become more important," he said.
"We used to read all of Plato . . . where now they just read excerpts." Dr. Allen said the articles and publications of the political science field have grown immensely since he was in school, and to prove his point he pointed to bookcases in his office that have been filled since he arrived in 1945. The student doesn't have the time to cover all these articles and to learn what each is trying to say.

"The students now have to concentrate on two or three specific fields such as international politics and comparative governments where 30 years ago we majored in the field of political science," he said.
When asked the possible effects of the foreign aid cut President Johnson is requesting, Prof. Allen said, "A billion dollar cut from our domestic economy probably would not hurt our society very much where it could injure our relations with foreign countries if we cut a billion from our foreign budget."
"THEE COULD BE money left that hasn't been spent that President Johnson plans to spend with the $3.4 Eillion. This is something you can't answer unless you are in on the making of the budget," said Prof. Allen, who in 1944-45 worked for the Bureau of the Budget in the office of the president.
Prof. Allen said the question of whether the budget would be cut was hard to answer, but that he feels Johnson has a better chance than Kennedy ever had to keep most of his budget requests intact. This is due, he said, to Johnson's long tenure

Prof. Allen said he felt the men in the government spent the money of the taxpayers wisely but that the question of whether the budget is padded or not depends on who is looking at the appropriation. If you are the head of a project you will feel you will need much more than the legislature will give you to do the job right.
Prof. Allen gave the example of the man during World War II who was in charge of protecting our shores from invasion. This man requested 10 times what the plants could produce in barbed wire. He wanted this amount whether other parts of the war got their barbed wire or not. He had a job, and to him this was a legitimate request.

When You're in Doubt— Try It Out,
1. I've come across a fascinating fact about the population.
Do tell.
2. There are more females than males in the U.S.A.
Where are they all hiding?
8. If you really want to find out what's going on with the population you should go see The Demograph.
The who?
4. The Demograph - it's this gigantic population counter that Equitable put up at the World's Fair.
5. It gives you the up-to-the-minute story of the population explosion.
I've noticed more people around lately.
It tells you where the girls are?
Can it explain how come, if there are more females than males, I have so much trouble meeting them?
6. Tells you how many babies are being born, how fast the population is growing. Stuff like that.
Be sure to see the Equitable Pavilion when you visit the World's Fair. For information about Living Insurance, see The Man from Equitable. For complete information about career opportunities at Equitable, see your Placement Officer, or write to William E. Blevins, Employment Manager.
