Through a psychoanalytic ap-- . proach, the internationally-fame- d educator and author will seek to determine what occurs in the unconscious minds of children as they are taught, and in the unconscious mind of the instructor as he or she teaches. toy my O"? will provide important dues on how to make primary education more successful particularly for those children whom it doesnt reach well enough at the moment, Bettelheim says. I also hope to stimulate others to investigate the inronsckms forces in learning which, as we know, have such a powerful influence on all that we do, or dont do. A $123,000 grant from Spencer Foundation is supporting the study. Bettelheim says what little research has been done in this area to infividuals 001 erotmT" apphed - u.

The charges are based on a report' entitled Motor Vehicle Recalls in Puerto RicOj a Preliminary Survey," by the Consumer Research Coiter,' College of Business Ad ministration, University of Puerto Rico. The report recommends the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration should conduct an official investigation of recall campaigns in Puerto Rico in order to determine how the Transportatioi Department can enforce the 1966 law. The report states that as a part of the above investigation special attention should be given to violations of the law which consists of enlisting subdealers as first purchasers. It also recommended that the act should be amended to make it mandatory that all letters giving notice of recall campaigns that are sent to vehicle owners in Puerto Rico should have both a Spanish and English text. . Judge Enjoins Law Pro-P- ot In Berkeley OAKLAND, CALIF. (UPI) --The marijuana-smokin- g youth of their side Berkeley had the law fa less than a day. A Supaior Court judge issued a , temporary restraining orda, May 3, preventing this university city of 125,000 from enforcing an initiative requiring advance approval by the city council of any arrests fa marijuana possession or cultivation. The council reversed itsdf a day earlia and ordered implementation of the initiative, approved by Berkeley voters last month. The city officials, who said they wanted a legal test of the ordinance, acted while a cheering audience of young people puffed joints in the council chambers. Supaior Judge Lionel J. Wilson issued the restraining orda at the request of California Atty. Gen. Evelle Younga and set a hearing, on May 17. Younga, a potential Republican candidate for governa, filed suit after telling newsmen in San Francisco that Berkeley couldnt secede from state laws prohibiting marijuana use and growth. He said the state laws supercede any local ordinances. The initiative requires police to appear before the councils weekly public meeting and ask permission to make arrests of marijuana violators. It also instructs the police department to make marijuana enforcement its lowest priority. |
