Show OA ly tut mi cteooDClbe May 10. 1974 I'aitertity of Utah Vol 83 No. 126 unn replies to RAC's reasons for rejection by LAURI HOBBS Chronicle staff Debby Dunn blamed her rejection by ASUU Review and Appointments Committee (RAC) mainly on its dislike of her goals for the board Thursday. She had been appointed to Campus Affairs Board in April Suzanne by board Shaw, chairperson. Now Dunn faces going before the entire Assembly to seek approval, unless RAC reverses its decision before the next Assembly meeting on May 16. RAC Darrell Fisher has accused Dunn of, among other things, not having any goals as a cabinet member. "I know I was nervous when I went into RAC," she said, "but I don't think they can accuse me of coming off goal less. I think that they feel my goals are vice-chairpers- member said "Well, that should take you spring quarter," Dunn said. "They implied that I should have some major project, and I guess when I went back the second time, they figured I'd have thought one up," she said, "but I really feel that part of the reason -- student f acu It y committees don't run well is because people come on the boards worried about their pet putting the whole thing on a project and they let the main purpose of their board stagnate. I wasn't going to dream up a project just so I could get through RAC, and then never do personal level today, and I really felt that was a nice gesture. But the information was published, and I feel I should answer some of the charges," she stid. "First of all. I was very offended that they would assume 1 used friendships to get the post." Debby said. "When they asked me if I'd ever dated Steve, (Academic Affairs chairperson, Steve Johnson), I was really it." As for claims that she is incompetent, lacks creativity, possesses no leadership ability and was selected for personal reasons, Dunn says she "doesn't -- understand." "Darrell Fisher came up and apologized to me for For aggressive behavior Speaker explains child control Programs designed to teach parents simple child management skills were called for by Dr. Gerald R. Patterson in a speech before a Contemporary Issues audience Thursday evening. Described goals Dunn described her goals for the board as "getting the various committees staffed and running smoothly," goals she attribues in part to her experience on Traffic Appeals Board last year. "When I sat on that board in February, they were dealing with appeals from as far back as October," Dunn said. "Leslie Robinson's plea for students to staff the important academic committees also shows that an inadequate job was done last year in making sure the committees were well staffed and running smoothly." Thus, Dunn says, her main goal became making sure that the 17 student-facult- committees were student by well-attende- d y and well-staffe- d members, as well as that they were meeting and fulfilling their functions. In addition, she would sit on two of the committees, she said. "When I went into RAC the first time and told them this was my main goal, they clearly implied that they considered it inadequate. One committee Patterson, a top researcher in the field of aggresive behavior in children, explained that traditional methods of child control, such as disapproval and spanking, often set off even more aggressive behavior in the problem child. Techniques such as negotiation, effective command giving and simply ignoring the child must be taught to such parents in order to avoid an escalation to even more aggressive behaviors, said I) (X 1 i Patterson. Research conducted at the Oregon Research Institute by Patterson and his staff indicates that aggressive behaviors in children are taught them by their parents and siblings at a very young age. Commenting that problem children are two to three times more likely to resort to aggressive behaviors in order to get their way, Patterson likened these children to a sculptor who uses agressive behaviors like a chisel in order to shape Via C the environment to his wishes. He said that problem children would use these "pain control" techniques in situations ranging from avoidance of work to being able to choose which TV show to watch. research also shows that an child often sets the tone in his home to aggressive the point where the whole family is involved in pain controlling behaviors. Patterson commented that of the children he treats have been beaten by parents whom he does not physically neurotic. consider Rather, they have become so in the "vortex" of heightened Dr. Gerald A.Patterson explained the skills of child caught up aggressions caused by the problem child that they management during the Contemporary Issues had to resort to severe physical punishment. lecture Thursday night, photo by Ron Kesler Patterson's one-fourt- h X. ti . . i'iii ,n T lilt. ;, r3g3l i.V of residential living.

Their main gripe was that I was a 'stumbling block', which is probably because my priorities differed from those of most of the assemblymen last year. I just voted my conscience, and I don't see how I can be condemned for that. "At the same time they accuse in me of being a stumbling-blocthe Assembly, they say that I can't serve on Campus Affairs because I'm a follower, not a leader, and I would be dominated by Suzanne Shaw. I don't think Suzanne is a dominating person and I don't think I can be pushed around," she said. Dunn concluded by rejecting the claim that she was not the most qualified person, saying, "I was at least as experienced as anyone else who applied, with the possible exception of Nathan Henrie. I think the main reason I was selected was because I was able to commit more time and could work better with the people on the board, which I feel are legitimate considerations."
