well illustrated by the opposing
positions taken. by Harvard
administrators
towards
psychologists Leary
and Skinner.
The former received university
cencure and
separation
while the
latter is held
in
high
esteem
in
university circles. Yet Leary
promised
to
liberate and enhance
mmanity by pharmacological
means. University authority in
this instance ruled that he was
non-professional and that what he
was doing· was dangerous to
students. On the other hand.
Skinner promises a society in
which all human behavior will be
predete~ined. The possibility of
a closed and controlled society in
this instance is supported and
encouraged by the university
administration and apparently
sees no
threat to their students.
Within psychology, the con-
troversy over control.surfaced at
the late · American Psychology
Association Convention. (The
occasion at which Skinner
received the prestigious Gold
Medal Award. He was honored as
a "pioneer in psychological
research. leader in theory,
master in technology who has
revolutionized the study of
behavior in our time .... he is
revered by many for his services
to
all.") Kenneth B. Clark in his
presidential address urged
psychology to move more swiftly
and directly to reach the ob-
jectives proposed by Skinner.
Clark
argued
that
the
traditional approaches to a
··control of
the
negatives in man
and the enhancement of his
positives not only are un-
predictable in their results but
also require continuous rein-
forcement .and a prolonged
period of time in order to
demonstrate
results ... The
present generation · of human
beings · is . required to develop .
psychological and social sciences
with that degree of precision.
predictability and moral control
essential to
the
survival of man."
He advocates control by phar-
macological means and would
see it applied e.g. to control
aggression.
The speech produced a heated
discussion and a number of noted
psychologists later rebutted
Clark's remarks. But again its
that
same
strange khid of in-
consistancey that was exhibited
at Harvard. It appears that
psychologists when confronted
with
the objectives of their own
profession put in a threatening
light. are confusC?d ana
ap-
parently inconsistant. Does the
negative response mean that it is
acceptable to predict and control
in some cases but not in others?
What
,~ill
be the criteria to
l'mploy in such dilemmas? The
power to control human behavior
is a reality. The crucial question
is to what ends will
the
power
be
exercised. This is the problem
that psychology has raised
hut
it
is an
issue
that each
one
will have
to face and answer. Hopefully.

COACH RON LEVINE
Declining Attendance al CUB
f
undions
Marist C.Ollege is definately deficient in the area of social functions.
One's initial reaction to this realization is most probably indignation
against the administration of the college. However, if these people
would think beyond their indignatioo they would discover that the fault
actually lies with the Marist College students. Not the students who
nm CUB but the students who v;on't even bother to attend the events
that are offer-eel
to
them. One
of
the most brazen examples of such
student neglect is the attendence at the CUB concerts and coffee
houses. It's
not
surprising that the people in charge lose interest when
they see the disinterest displayed
by
those around them. What does it
mean when people would rather sit in their rooms and get drunk than
take advantage of the civilized social functions provided them?
