Ward's
Words
by Mike Ward
Recently, I made myself read. B. F. Skinner's book, Beyond
Freedom and Dignity. I have to admit that when I started reading the
book, I had a very negative attitude towards Skinner. After all, I want
to controlll!.rlife. Now that I have read Skinner {as well as several
articles in Psychology Today) my negative attitude has doubled.
I may have missed something in the reading, but nowhere in his
manuscript does Skinner give evidence that a program of operant
conditioning is the best for mankind. Instead, he seems to be justifying
-his
belief in operant conditioning besetting the mistakes that society
bas made so far. The book becomes little more than a defense lawyer's
case. on why such conditioning should not be condemned to death. It
has some loopholes and evasion of fact which do not support its merit.
I will agree with Skinner that man has very lttle freedom to chose
the future, but man has given up his freedom for the security of not
having to -jeopardize himself by making decisions.
It
is much easier
following orders that being creative and taking the responsibility of
giving the orders. If anything goes wrong, the individual can pass back
to the one who gave hiin the order. His guiltis relieved
·and
he can
.
maintain his anonymity.
.
.
•
. .
••
••
.
-
-
•
•
Another reason man has little freedom is that it has been taken away
by advancing technology. The industrial revol~tion has reduced
.the·
individual to. a member of a team and incr~ased government control
has classified hiin as a political type. Thus, society deals with groups;
-
·
it
·does
not have the ability to deal with individuals. The individUal
must.conform to society ami'give up his freedom. If he doesn't, he is
-
•·
labeled a deviant and will have to make
it
with little help from society. .
So, most.choose to relinquish their freedom.
.
•
•
•
•
..
. Skinner then blames the literature of freedom fo putting ideas into
men's heads which they can never have. This includes tµe philosophy
that teaches that an ideal life can be obtained. Some of the works used
by this philosophy are: originality, idealism, libert>7, individualism,
_choice,
etc. What is Skinner giving us in their pl~ce'? Control, rein-
forcement, behavior modification, correct respo_nses, ~tc. Sure, he

Joe DeTura has created a
monster.
The originator
of
Children's Theatre at Marist
failed to supply the formula for
containing this wild phenomenon.
At last· report it is spreading
north to Hyde Park and there is
no stopping it!
Early last year a few Marist
students· rediscovered Regina
Coeli grammar school, and there
has
·
been a benevolent symbosis
between Marist and Regina Coeli
ever since. It started when An-
thony Scarfone, Barbara Jala,
and others decided that theatre
skills know no chronological
l>oundaries, and cast students
from Regina Coeli's 8th, 7th, 6th
and 5th grades for the play
Cinderella. The second semester
brought increased
•
enthusiasm,
and a more sophisticated play in
the ·corm of The Wizard of Oz.
Both were met 'Yith much suc-
¢ess antl plans for the future.
Apparently,-
the
summer
vacation did nothing but increase
the fervor of
_the
kids for a new
thespian endeavor, for when Jim

Corbett arid I first went to Regina

met by 75 enthusiastic would-be
actors. After four trying and
pleasurable months (pardon the
.dialectic)
Li'l Abner opened at
·Marist and two days later at
Regina- Coeli for a very suc-
cessful run. To talk about what
happened and remain unat-
tached, is impossible. ~ther
than get overly sentimental, let
me just say that all of· us at
Marist are enjoying a love affair
with Regina Coeli School, and
apparently it's
-
not unrequi_ted.
The following, which was written
by Sister Barbara Deigen the
principal of R.C.S., appeared on
the back page of the program.
"Li'l Abner by far the biggest
and, according to some, the best
of all productions, is ready.
Months have literally gone into
this presentation. Committees
have been hard at work under Joe
Martino~s direction. Barbara
Jala and Cindy Bodenheimer
have worked out dance
-
routines
and have practi~ed and practiced
each step. Hank Hammer makes
even our piano sound good. Jim
Corbett and Dave Sheehan
deserve mountains· of praise for
all their tireless patience and
time· in drawing_ out the talent
from our students. Many other
Marist students have pitched in
and lent a hand.
Secondly, R.C.S. is a school
where these Marist students are
more than accepted - they are
welcome and, most of all, needed.
The children have responded to
their presence. They have ex-
perienced "Love they neighbor"
first hand and they know it.
As
they· grow older they will ap-
preciate and understand even
more the sacrifices these young
men and women have made for
them. The least we can hope for is
that they will carry on the work
these few haye begun. Then
perhaps the tide will change even
more fully. God bless them all."
The next time Marist is getting
on your nerves, go back to
grammar
school. It's
a
refreshing change.

MARCH 29, 197~
Ward's
Words
by Mike Ward
Recently, I made myself read. B. F. Skinner's book, Beyond
Freedom and Dignity. I have to admit that when I started reading the
book, I had a very negative attitude towards Skinner. After all, I want
to controlll!.rlife. Now that I have read Skinner {as well as several
articles in Psychology Today) my negative attitude has doubled.
I may have missed something in the reading, but nowhere in his
manuscript does Skinner give evidence that a program of operant
conditioning is the best for mankind. Instead, he seems to be justifying
-his
belief in operant conditioning besetting the mistakes that society
bas made so far. The book becomes little more than a defense lawyer's
case. on why such conditioning should not be condemned to death. It
has some loopholes and evasion of fact which do not support its merit.
I will agree with Skinner that man has very lttle freedom to chose
the future, but man has given up his freedom for the security of not
having to -jeopardize himself by making decisions.
It
is much easier
following orders that being creative and taking the responsibility of
giving the orders. If anything goes wrong, the individual can pass back
to the one who gave hiin the order. His guiltis relieved
·and
he can
.
maintain his anonymity.
.
.

•
•
Another reason man has little freedom is that it has been taken away
by advancing technology. The industrial revol~tion has reduced
.the·
individual to. a member of a team and incr~ased government control
has classified hiin as a political type. Thus, society deals with groups;
-
·
it
·does
not have the ability to deal with individuals. The individUal
must.conform to society ami'give up his freedom. If he doesn't, he is

labeled a deviant and will have to make

with little help from society. .
So, most.choose to relinquish their freedom.
.
•
•
•
•
..
. Skinner then blames the literature of freedom fo putting ideas into
men's heads which they can never have. This includes tµe philosophy
that teaches that an ideal life can be obtained. Some of the works used
by this philosophy are: originality, idealism, libert>7, individualism,
_choice,
etc. What is Skinner giving us in their pl~ce'? Control, rein-
forcement, behavior modification, correct respo_nses, ~tc. Sure, he

Joe DeTura has created a
monster.
The originator
of
Children's Theatre at Marist
failed to supply the formula for
containing this wild phenomenon.
At last· report it is spreading
north to Hyde Park and there is
no stopping it!
Early last year a few Marist
students· rediscovered Regina
Coeli grammar school, and there
has
·
been a benevolent symbosis
between Marist and Regina Coeli
ever since. It started when An-
thony Scarfone, Barbara Jala,
and others decided that theatre
skills know no chronological
l>oundaries, and cast students
from Regina Coeli's 8th, 7th, 6th
and 5th grades for the play
Cinderella. The second semester
brought increased
•
enthusiasm,
and a more sophisticated play in
the ·corm of The Wizard of Oz.
Both were met 'Yith much suc-
¢ess antl plans for the future.
Apparently,-
the
summer
vacation did nothing but increase
the fervor of
_the
kids for a new
thespian endeavor, for when Jim

Corbett arid I first went to Regina
Coeli. to cast- our stars, we were
met by 75 enthusiastic would-be
actors. After four trying and
pleasurable months (pardon the
.dialectic)
Li'l Abner opened at
·Marist and two days later at
Regina- Coeli for a very suc-
cessful run. To talk about what
happened and remain unat-
tached, is impossible. ~ther
than get overly sentimental, let
me just say that all of· us at
Marist are enjoying a love affair
with Regina Coeli School, and
apparently it's
-
not unrequi_ted.
The following, which was written
by Sister Barbara Deigen the
principal of R.C.S., appeared on
the back page of the program.
"Li'l Abner by far the biggest
and, according to some, the best
of all productions, is ready.
Months have literally gone into
this presentation. Committees
have been hard at work under Joe
Martino~s direction. Barbara
Jala and Cindy Bodenheimer
have worked out dance
-
routines
and have practi~ed and practiced
each step. Hank Hammer makes
even our piano sound good. Jim
Corbett and Dave Sheehan
deserve mountains· of praise for
all their tireless patience and
time· in drawing_ out the talent
from our students. Many other
Marist students have pitched in
and lent a hand.
Secondly, R.C.S. is a school
where these Marist students are
more than accepted - they are
welcome and, most of all, needed.
The children have responded to
their presence. They have ex-
perienced "Love they neighbor"
first hand and they know it.
As
they· grow older they will ap-
preciate and understand even
more the sacrifices these young
men and women have made for
them. The least we can hope for is
that they will carry on the work
these few haye begun. Then
perhaps the tide will change even
more fully. God bless them all."
The next time Marist is getting
on your nerves, go back to
grammar
school. It's
a
refreshing change.
