B'ettelheimAt least 40% of the childrencurrently in institutions for thefeeble-minded could be rehabili¬tated, according to Bruno Bettel-heim, UC professor of education,psychology and psychiatry.Because of the difficulty in¬volved in distinguishing feeble¬minded children from psychoticchildren, the latter are oftentreated as if they were feebleminded, said Bettelheim, who isalso the principal of the Univer¬sity’s Sonia Shankman OrthogenicSchool.But if the curable psychotic*who have been diagnosed as in¬curably feeble minded were to becorrectly identified, said Bettel¬heim, there would only ensue thepain of telling their parents thatthe facilities to rehabilitate themjust do not exist.In Chicago alone, where thereare about 100 orthogenic institu¬tions, said Bettelheim, we need50i>0.It takes a long time to rehabili¬tate a child, said Bettelheim. andour communities are not ready toaccent this.They are willing to send a childto St. Charles for five years andhave him come out a hardenedcriminal, but they are not willingto wait for him to undergo emo¬tional rehabilitation.The money being used now tosend a man to the moon, or someof the funds going into our mili¬tary establishment would do nicelyto cure those children who couldbe cured, said Bettelheim. It alldepends on how society wishes tospend its money.Bettelheim spoke at a pressluncheon yesterday, at which hisappointment as the University’sfirst Stella M. Rowley professor ofeducation was announced.The chair was endowed by Mrs.Stella M. Rowley, who was at theluncheon. She attended the Uni¬versity for one year in 1894 andlater took extension courses at theDowntown center. Mrs. Rowley,89, was a teacher in Chicago pub¬lic schools for 35 years, and at¬tended UC for another year dur¬ing a sabattical leave from herteaching duties.She recently contributed $20,-000 to the University of ChicagoHigh School for tne William A.Rowley Library, in memory of herhusband. Others at the luncheonincluded Francis Chase, Dean ofthe Graduate School of Education,President George Beadle, and Pro¬vost Ed Levi.“It is not 1, hut all my cowork¬ers at the Orthogenic School whoare deserving of honor and recog¬nition,” said Bettelhein, after hisnew appointment was announced.The Orthogenic School, locatedat 13G3 E. oOth Street, is one ofthe laboratory Schools of the Uni¬versity, administered under the de-partmetn of education. Bettelheimhas been its principal since 1944.The school is a coeducationalresidential treatment institutiondevoted to the study and rehabili¬tation of emotionally disturbedchildren and to the training ofgraduate students and professionalpersons who wish to specialize inthe treatment of such children.Its enrollment is limited to 40children of potentially normal orsuperior intelligence. Those whoseintelligence is impaired because ofemotional disturbance are en¬rolled only if it may be expectedthat through treatment their in¬tellectual performance may beraised to at least normal.One-third of the children aresent to the school by various so¬cial welfare agencies, said Bettel¬heim. Tuition at the school is$G,500 a year.In general, the children ac¬cepted by the school are those noone else feels can eb helped withthe methods of treatment present¬ly available, said Bettelheim.Children between the ages of sixand twelve are enrolled, and re¬main at the school until their re¬education is completed. The aver¬age stay is about six years.About 80% of the children whocome to the school recover andreturn to their home environmentas emotionally healthy children.Another 10%, although they can¬not be helped, are kept on as“research cases.” We try to dis-°over how much they can bebellied, Bettelheim explained.Within one or two years, we discusses orthogenics Spender to discuss workusually decide whether any childcan be helped at all, he said.The school’s philosophy is basedon modified principles of progres¬sive education and a particulartype of applied child psychoanalysisthat has been defined as “milieu”or institutional treatment. It isbased on the principles of dynamicpsychology and includes individualchild psychotherapy and child anal¬ysis.According to this philosophy, be¬havior problems such as those inthe treatment of which the institu¬tion specializes are consequencesof the child's failure to balance thesatisfaction of his inner needsagainst the demands of his environ¬ment.As a result of this, the schooltries to create an environment,which, while retaining the dime-sions of reality, makes it manage¬able for the child.All efforts are centered on cre¬ating a total setting that uses allthe life activities of children tohelp them with their problems.Children who are truant fromschool, for example, or who cannotlearn because they fear the learn¬ing situation, are not forced toattend classes. Rather, for thenecessary length of time, they areaccompanied on excursions or inother activities they enjoy bycounsellors, who make friends withthem, reassure them, and guidethem back toward classroom learn¬ing.Within the classroom, competi¬tion is minimized and academicfailure avoided. Free movementis encouraged to prevent accumula¬tion of tensions that may lead todefeat or explosive behavior.The children live in “family size”groups of six or seven so that theymay profit from the experience ofliving with a peer group.Psychotherapeutic techniquescurrently used were originally de¬veloped in treating neurotic adults.They concentrate on uncoveringthe repressed, on making consciousthe unconscious, and on changingthe deviate personality structure.They assume that well developedrepressixe or defensive mecha¬nisms have been at work to pro¬duce a personality structure thatprevents normal living.The difficulties of many of thechildren at the Orthogenic Schoolstem from their inability to or¬ganize their personalities; oftenthey have not succeeded even inestablishing deviantly organizedpersonalities. Living experienceshave failed to merge and have re¬mained so fragmentary that nomore than the rudiments of person¬ality have developed.CRher children are marked by anabsence of repressive mechanismsor by complete failure of defensiveefforts.At the School, the most difficulttask is frequently to bring orderout of chaos rather than to re¬organize a badly put together per¬sonality.The policy of the school, in thewords of Bettelheim, “. . . stressesthat every child . . . has the rightto do what he wants to do, if itinvolves no danger to himself or toothers and does not infringe on thelegitimate interests of others.“But while we protect the child’s‘right’ to, say, wet the bed, we tryto let him know that in our estima¬tion he is well able, if he reallywants to. to exercise all the con¬trols and to master all the achieve¬ments that are in ine with hisdevelopmental age.”Currently, the UC OrthogenicSchool is planning to help theJewish Children’s Bureau of Chi¬cago start its own orthogenicschool at 55th Street and CottageGrove Avenue, said Bettelheim. Heexpressed the hope that both insti¬tutions could later pool their re¬sources.At the luncheon, Bettelheimpointed out the connection betweena child's inability to function inschool and emotional disturbance.Students who have not been ableto succeed in school sometimes feelthat the entire world, as repre¬sented by the school, is againstthem, and they will rebel, he said.If our schools remain as prima¬rily middle-class oriented, he con¬tinued, we must prepare the manyunderprivileged and foreign bornchildren who will attend them forthe experience.The middle class child comes toschool having previously beeu trained to sit still, listen, and payattention to what he is being told.The lower class child, on the otherhand, lacks this orientation, andshould be helped.Our schools need small classeswith imaginative teachers who willteach students to get along in aclassroom situation, and who willbe able to bring together lowerclass children and their middleclass school environment.Bettelheim started his work withchildren in Vienna. He helpedbring about recognition of the factthat children, as well as adults,could be psychotic. Previously itwas assumed that all children werefeeble-minded, he said.Bebtelheim’s research and theo¬ries of child development havebeen concentrated on childhoodschizophrenia and emotional devel¬opment.His most recent book, Dialogueswith Mothers, offers parents a tech¬nique for analyzing problems withtheir youngsters. Stephen Spender, who re¬cently read and discussed hispoems at a William VaughanMoody lecture, will appear ata “My Life and Yours” programnext Tuesday evening at 8 o’clockin Ida Noyes East Lounge.For the past thirty years, Spen¬der has been active in Englandand abroad as a poet, critic, au¬thor, editor of two literary maga¬zines, and lecturer at variousuniversities.Spender began to write poetrywhile he was still studying atOxford University.

Hoselitz spoke on theEconomics of South East Asia atthe Student Peace Union’s coffeehour.The first of the problems whichmust be faced ,said Hoselitz con¬cerns the needed conversion ofthese countries from their tribal,sectionally seelusive patterns intounited, functionally integratedcountries capable of efficientlymeeting their desperate needs.Even when they were controlledby colonial countries, Hoselitz con¬tinued, the regional segmentationof the indigenous population wasglossed over, u neons tructivelylumped together, or purposely keptseparate for fear of native or¬ganization against the colonialpowers.As an example of the unifyingimperative. Hoselitz said that theUnited States would never haveachieved her present state of progress had it maintained astaunch “state’s rights” policy.Unification brings about greaterequality in participation of indi¬viduals in the affairs of the coun¬try. But he noted the danger insuch unification in the form ofnationalism which has in the pastoften led to aggression againstneighboring countries. There isoften the fear of ideological, politi¬cal, conflicts also emerging.The second problem Hoselitznoted is the necessity for the de¬struction of rigid social stratifi¬cation and the implantation ofgreater social mobility. Industriali¬zation is the prime force creatingthis change, with its requirementfor greater technological trainingand distribution of income.The problem, however, lies inthe fact that even with a nativeaccumulating greater technologicalknowledge and a bit more money,his community will still recognizeonly his old social position. Theanxieties thus created have givengreat impetus to leftist movementspromising the social and economicjustices of which these new groupsfeel they are being deprived,Hoselitz added.The third concern Hoselitz dis-cused is for the greater levellingof standards between urban and rural communities which at pres¬ent are only drawing furtherapart. VVesterniztaion in thesecountries, bringing greater tech¬nological progression and culturalflow, seves to reinforce the dif¬ference between the cultures ofthe two.As opposed to this, Hoselitznoted the almost tontal non-dif¬ferentiation of urban versus ruralsociety in the United States dueto the far more boadly based dis¬tribution of commodities, re¬sources, and culture.His final point was that theSouth East Asian Countries desper¬ately require large amounts ofcapital capable of being usedquickly, but he said he was skepti¬cal as to the probability of suchoccuring in the near future.He noted that the problems facedby these countries are unrelatedto those faced by Europe at thebeginnin gof its industrialization,so that this area cannot simplyimitate the developmental steps ofthe west.He thus proposed a united worldinterest which would turn theforeign aid program of the moredeveloped countries from token as¬sistance into a more comprehen¬sive, vast accumulation of capitalresources.Eskridge discusses campaign Wash profs lose oath fight® A f hroo-iiiHoro forloral r»rvnr»t load to DPrSPOlltinn flnH ic onOnp nf flip hio-o-p<st r»vnhlpm« not allow people to tell him what torial stands taken against him byfacing* the fifth wari i“- MWS‘ing a viable solution to the sites” to effective membership in papers’ he rephed thdt the edatorscontroversy over the Universi- a legislative body.

I can’t imagine'anything collegier. It’s part fra¬ternity party skit, part borshtcircuit natter, patter, part genuinemusicomedy bang, part bedroomchase and part very inadequatespoof of its own plot. When itcomes to style, Mast is fickle. It’sa mush of corn-ball and matzo-Iball with the singing and the danc¬ing and the root y -toot - toot y. But itain’t Art at all."Good News” is a cute musical,though this is not exactly a pro¬duction of the play the authorswrote. Last year’s ‘‘Pal Joey” suf¬fered because it was a serious at¬tempt to do something the profes¬sionals do so much better. ‘‘GoodNews” is what a college musicalought to be—carefree. You can re¬lax. That feeling of impendingdisaster isn't there. If the setshould collapse and the band playthe wrong tune the cast wouldn’tcare, so the audience has no rea¬son to worry. It’s a peculiar sortof asset for a show to have tohave, but college musicals have tohave it and rarely do.When the show is good it’s very,very funny and when it’s bad it’sawful. It’s awful when the actorsplay at being bad actors, sayinglines in a silly way and using thirhands like flappers (I mean, thekind seals have). This is supposedto be a spoof of the script. Bigdeal. The script is a spoof to startwiih. But like everything else inthe production the spoof is incon¬sistent. The actors keep lapsinginto acting their absurd parts, and♦he absurdity gets a chance to befunny. Nothing succeeds like sin¬cerity.A talented bunch of kids runon and off the stage, but nobodyis unconditionally great because1he acting style keeps changing,^'ince the production is a stylistichodge-podge, it depends on the na¬tural stage presence, rather thanthe acting, of the cast. Mast some¬how managed to find the kind ofpeople college musicals have tohave and rarely do. The leadseon t sing but they know how totake over the stage and makeInends with the audience.Veteran actors Jerry Loeb as theCoach and Herb Jones as thetrainer are the least hampered bythe Silly School of Acting; most<‘l the time they maintain some-taaig much like true parody.On the 'other hand, the lovescenes between Football Hero RonInglehart and Sweet Young ThingC.vndee Schwartz move back andforth from their real musicomedyromantic duets to the direcloriallyimposed Silly School. And it doesn’twork. Stage love should be charm¬ing when it’s supposed to be truelove, no matter how foolish theparticipants. It’s jarring to havethe mood interrupted by illogicallyinflected line-readings. The samestyle in the love scene betweenspoiled Rich Kid Janie Whitehilland F rat Rat Dave Steinbergworks better because they are sup¬posed to be both bored and in¬sincere. Awards for nicest bits go toMast and cast for: Richard Mandelas Charlie Chaplin, Belleruth Kre-pon being shovelled under Stein¬berg’s bed, Steinberg misdirectingthe orchestra, Inglehart playingfootball a la newsreel, and AndyKaplan as the classical frosh.The real bizazz is in the produc¬tion numbers, with choreographyby Mary Ellen Gist and SusieWorkoff. The dancing is an uttergas. The best single number is‘‘The Varsity Drag.” Thank what¬ever god may be that the bad-acting gimmick is not extendedto the dancing and singing.There are some nice familiarold songs: the title number, ‘‘GoodNews,” ‘‘The Best Things in Lifeare Free,” and ‘‘Pass That PeacePipe”; and there are some ob¬scure songs which are just asgood. Ken Pierce’s orchestra isa pleasant surprise to MandelHall’s habitual musical comedyaudience. They aren’t bad. Theyplay with the aplomb of last year’sBlackfriars combo, but they’re awhole pit-full of orchestra havinga ball.The show is full of gimmicks.Some work. The cardboard football players are funny. The cardboardcar is overdone. The program notesare nutty. And, Kevin, She LovesYou!The costumes are cute. If yourmother was a flapper, she’ll beappalled because it’s too horriblytrue. But as a spectacle the pro¬duction misses some vital ingre¬dients. The sets are rented nonen¬tities, prepared for some forgottenpurpose an eon ago. Stage designis not a luxury, after all, but anintegral part of musical theatre(or any other theatre). The UTSchool of Sloppy Set Theatre hasgot to reform and make the sceneby making some scenery. PaulBostin’s lighting design mercifullyconcentrates on the actors, thoughthe follow spots are afflicted withwandrelust.In short, it isn’t really twentiesyand it isn’t remotely artistic, butit’s a successful evening of thea¬tre, much to everybody’s surprise.It’s razzle-dazzle that’s fun for allthe wrong reasons, and on thestrength of it I would choose JerryMast as the director I would liketo see stage Ringling Bros.,Barnum and Bailey Circus.Carol Horning| Classified |ROOMS, APTS., ETC.2 Grad students have sunny six roomapt. to share with third girl— $40 perPerson, good location, BU 8-6684.

Both in domesticand foreign policy, it has failed toact as Gandhi would have acted,and consequently has failed toachieve what he would haveachieved.The ethical principles of Gandhiembodied in the Indian constitutionhave become legal but not socialnorms in India today, said Iyer.India has, first of all, failed sofar to give the highest priority toalleviating poverty, especially ru¬ral poverty; and secondly, to actdecisively against appaling socialinequalities in the country whilemaintaining the foundations of afree and democratic society.India has been more interestedin developing steel mills and in thelong term strategy of economicgrowth rather than in the immedi¬ate and compelling problems of thepeasantry, said Iyer. While indus¬trial development is obviously im¬portant and necessary, the needlor adequate food is even more so.Iyer, who spent a year as thechief research officer attached tothe head of the planning commis¬sion in India, stressed the need lorIndia to find her own distinctivepattern in her political, economic,and social life.“India should not become a copyof the West,” he said, adding that“they are not real friends of Indiawho want India to westernize andimitate, who want Indian intellec¬tuals to become what Aurobindocalled ‘the brown apes of Europe.’ ”In addition to her domestic fail¬ings, India has not clearly thoughtout her foregin policy, accordingto Iyer. She has not fully come togrips with the role of a countrywhich willy-nilly stepped into biteshoes of a “Big Power” in theregion.Iyer explained Indian neutralism”so called as an "extension of thenotion of national independencethe international scene. To be“neutral” does not and should notmean that you neglect your defenserequirements or your immediateneighbors, said Iyer; rather itmeans that you maintain your in¬dependence of mind and your in¬dependent power of initiative oninternational questions.Being “neutral,” India could, indeveloping its own pattern, derivelessons from the experience of bothsides—'the Western and the Com¬munist nations—as well as from itsown cultural resources.It means that India need notlook at world politics solely throughthe eyes of one major contestantin the Cold War or of one compet¬ing ideology. It also means thatIndia can discern the emergingdifferences as well as the historicdiversity within both blocs.And, further, it means that Indiacan judge each issue on its ownmerits.Nehru explained truly independ¬ent “neutralism” when he saidthere can be only neutral nations,and not neutral blocs, for member¬ship in a tight new bloc destroysthe moral basis of genuine “neu¬tralism” based on military and eco¬nomic and ideological non-align¬ment.One consequence of India’s non-alignment has been the tendencyof officials and politicians to indi¬vidually side with either the Westor the Communists, rather than to understand their country’s “neu¬tralism” as a way of maintainingher effective independence.India’s effectiveness in foreignpolicy has been somewhat im¬paired by Nehru’s “moralism,”which has more affinities with aWhiggish or old-fashioned liberalfaith in reasonableness than withGandhi's unwavering moral cour¬age, his willigness to see the prac¬tical implications of taking a con¬sistent moral stand on genuinematters of principle, and his abilityto appreciate the standpoint of hiscritics and opponents, said Iyer.Iyer outlined the methods whichGandhi would have used in effec¬tively maintaining India's neutral¬ity and which Nehru, in his liberal-rationalist complacency, has failedto adopt.First, Gandhi gave enormousweight to the irrational factors inpolitics. He didn’t expect other peo¬ple to act realistically at all, saidIyer.Second, as a disciple of Gokhale,Gandhi always made a detailedstudy of practical problems, attach¬ing tremendous importance to get¬ting the full factual picture. Heproduced numerous legal memo¬randa and careful surveys whilehe was engaged in his struggle forcivil rights in South Africa.On China, he would have made afar better attempt than either Neh¬ru or Western leaders have to un¬derstand China’s policies. He wouldhave tried to understand China’shistoric position, its deep humilia¬tion in the 19th century. And then,he would have made a shrewd as¬ sessment of his opponent, andadopted a strategy suited to thatopponent. He varied his strategy,but not his principles when dealingwith Smuts, Irwin, and Linlithgow.Third, Gandhi had tremendousmoral courage. Had he been alivewhen China took over Tibet, hecertainly would have spoken outstrongly to protest, and similarlyover Suez and Hungary.Fourth, Gandhi was interested in“cultivating his garden,” in a Vol-tairean sense. He would have givenhigh priority to Pakistan and otherclose neighbors of India. Nehru, onthe other hand, has been neglectingthe areas in his immediate vicin¬ity. Unlike the Boston Brahman, hehas preached the brotherhood ofman and neglected the neighbor¬hood of “Boston.”And finally, Gandhi, although be¬lieving in non-violence as a creed,recognized that the Governmentdid not share this creed and there¬fore had to set up an effectivemilitary force. Although he wouldnot have tried to justify violenceat any time as a moral good, ex¬plained Iyer, he conceded a placefor it provided its use was recog¬nized to be a sign of spiritual weak¬ness, an “unavoidable evil” thathad to be gradually reduced. ToGandhi, cowardice was alwaysworse than violence.Present day India, on the otherhand, has not given enough atten¬tion to . modernizing its army.Though Nehru has never claimed tobelieve in non-violence as a creed,the old-style Indian army is tra¬ gically inadequate as an instru¬ment of defense in India’s warwith China, especially in mountainwarfare.Former defense minister KrishnaMeninon mismanaged the munitionsprogram, according to Iyer, bybasing his defense policy on thecalculation that China would notmount an attack before the springof 1963 and tha Russia would aidIndia against China or put effec¬tive pressure on China.It was most unwise to expect tocash in so quickly on the Sino-Soviet conflict, said Iyer, thoughNehru shrewdly saw long beforethe West the emerging struggle forthe balance of power in Asia.Iyer traced India’s current prob¬lems with China back to her “in¬excusable moral failure overTibet.” Although India was rightfrom the start in realizing the needto treat China and Russia differ-erently, her error was in trustingChina simply because it was anancient Asian civilization.In accepting Chinese “suzerain¬ty” over Tibet without working outthe implications of “autonomy”there, India paved the way for thecurrent war. After accepting Chi¬nese Suzerainty, India failed to seeor understand what China was do¬ing in Tibet and how the logic ofChina's Tibetan policy would some¬day lead China into India.But, despite Nehru’s failings,said Iyer, his actual achievementsare indeed remarkable, and he isthe only man who could have heldthe country together. Above all pro¬ vincial and caste distinctions, heis tlie only “politician who can seeIndia as a while,” said Iyer.He is unique in history becausehe has been able to translate him¬self from a non-violent but ardentrevolutionary of long standing intoa constructive and reasonably ef¬fective administrator. Although hehas not transformed himself whollysuccessfully, it is amazing that hehas done it at all, said Iyer.Iyer cited Nehru’s “strength andweakness” as arising from his be¬ing almost an Englishman deeplyin love with India. As a young manat Harrow and Cambridge, Nehrufell in love with India in the wayothers fell for Greece, and he de¬veloped a fine sense of what Indiashould be. While his romantic imageof India has on the one hand kepthim from excessive involvementwith only one part of India, it hason the other hand, sometimes ledhim to behave like a “British pub¬lic school novelist.”Nehru is however a man of ex¬ceptional intellectual and moral in¬tegrity, more than perhaps anyother contemporary politician, saidIyer.When Nehru’s rule ends, India willundergo a very critical but neces¬sary period of transition said Iyer,for of the country’s currently ef¬fective provincial leaders, thereare none with the intellectual orthe moral authority to be acceptedas a national leader by the coun¬try as a whole.IS THIS YOUR SHIRT?i- IfLimmk(ilia} x,.II j Ph ; ; ;f ik«! ytM i' i1= • h|!:!\\ Mti.jii 11 h : : U1Jh : ; ; \ j1 :Vi fn i:l|j Mil;:m ijHfi fi1If so, Miss Afflerbach will send yotfyour [ ] labelTHIS is a two-color striped button-down shirt designed and tailoredby Eagle Shirtmakers and sold everywhere by fine men’s stores.Many of them admire our shirts so much they sell them under theirown names.
