Today's Students Treated Like
'Packaged Goods' Says Dr. Meade
Anthropologist
Dr. Margaret Mead charged, in
an article released recently, that to
day's students are treated like
"packaged goods" and said that
the older generation is to blame
for the current student revolts and
the restlessness of young people
everywhere.
Writing in the current issue of
Redbook magazine, Dr. Mead accused 
the older generation of
"failure" to plan adequately for the
increase in young people it was
warned against. "Twenty years ago
we talked glibly about the 'baby
boom' and then about the dire
effects of the population, explosion.
But in spite of all our talking,
what we did to prepare for masses
of young people was on too small
a scale, shoddy and too late."
"The result has been crowding,
poor facilities, schools in antiquated 
or unsuitable temporary
buildings, poorly trained teachers
(and far too few of them), inadequate 
supplies and — inevitably—
irritability, impatience and strained
relations between students and
teachers and between students and
the administrators who have to

keep things going," Dr. Mead declared. 

She said students "are treated
as irresponsible minors subject to
the most arbitrary decisions. Many
of them hope that now, when they
are learning to think as individuals, 
they will be treated as individuals. 
What they find instead is
that they are treated like packaged 
goods — so many to be processed, 
pushed through the educational 
maze, examined and granted 
degrees at the end of a standard 
course."
Dr. Mead attributed the "hostile
attacks by the young on the old
and the established" to a "profound 
distrust" of all those in
power. "We speak of the generation 
gap, but I believe this distrust
is the mirror image of the distrust 
members of the older generation, 
living in a world they
feel has got out of hand have
for themselves and one another."
"What has happened," Dr. Mead
said, "is that we have displaced
onto the young our own sense of
malaise, our distrust of our ability

to cope with the deep changes we
have brought about in the world;
and the young are acting on our
communication to them. Our distrust 
is clear, I think, from the
emphasis we have put on the manifestations 
of student power rather
than on the actual causes of disturbances. 

"The danger is that as long as
we continue to distrust ourselves,
as long as we continue to response
with alarm instead of conceding
with honesty that our world is not
as we would wish it to be, our
and their distrust can only grow
and spread to include new and
still younger groups."
Dr. Mead said we are "mistaken"
if we view student power as no
more than a new version of traditional 
student restlessness of the
"creation" of mass media. Calling
student power a "reality," she
warned that the problem it poses
is not how to contain it or know
to meet its immediate demands.
"The problem now is how to bridge
the ever-widening generation gap
and find a new basis for trust
that both generations can share."

Princess Grace Criticizes
"Attention Seekers," Angles
Prince Grace of
Monaco recently criticized persons
who get "attention and applause"
by playing the "angles." and said
"what we need today are more
square people, more people who are
dependable, in the old fashioned
way."
"When you think of President
Kennedy, no body would have called 
him led him 'square' in the
current derogatory sense, and he
was greatly admired and loved by
younger people." the former movie
star said. "He was the All-American 
Boy wasn't he? He was Jack
Armstrong."
In an interview published recently 
in the current issue of McCall's, 
Princess Grace described her
life in the tiny principality where
she has lived since her marriage
to Prince Rainer III in 1956.
"In Europe there is more emphasis 
on manners," she said.
"People here are generally more
polite, and the children tend to follow 
that lead. I'm always appalled
when I see parents intimidated by
their children, and I must say
that I see that quite often when
I go to the United States. Parents
do have to take a stand. They do
have to put their foot down."
Princess Grace said she misses
American efficiency "more than

anything else. The French — and
I wouldn't be surprised if it were
true of Europeans generally — have
a way of complicating things that
should be relatively simple. One
does miss that fine American custom 
of saying, 'Of course it can be
done. Why not?
"One thing I enjoy is that people 
here take the time to live in
a pleasant way. They are not as
rushed, not as hurried, as they are
in the United States It is really
not too hard to change one's ways
and become as indolent as any
Mediterranean."
Princess Grace, although now a
Monegasque has retained her
American citizenship. The couple's
children also have dual citizenship, 
she said.
"Our son will of course have to
renounce his United States citizenship," 
she told Mcall's. "I would
like to keep mine, because I am
very proud of it and sentimental
about it too. If ever there were
any political problem, I would of
course, give it up."

Finch Releases
Task Force Report
Secretary of Health; Education,
and welfare Robert H. Finch today 
released the final report of
the Department's Task Force on
Prescription Drugs and announced
that he plans to appoint a group
of non-government experts to review 
the extensive recommendations 
submitted by the Task Force
wover the past 10 months.
The principal recommendation
of the Task Force calls for coverage 
of out of hospital prescription 
drugs under Medicare. Other
major recommendations are con
cerned 
with drug costs, drug
quality and the role of the Federal 
Government in providing
drug information to physicians.
"The whole subject of prescription 
drugs is vitally important to
the people of this country," Secreary 
Finch said. "I want the work
of the Task Force to receive the
highest level consideration by the
medical profession pharmacist, the
drug industry, economists, and
consumer groups.
I want to be absolutely certain
that the Department does everything 
in is power to make sure

that the American people are receiving 
the best drugs obtainable
at the most reasonable cost."
In commenting on the Task
force demand, and will receive
very craeful and thoughtful study."
The Task Force was established
in May, 1967, and consisted of key
Department officials concerned
with health pharmacutical affairs,
and health care delivery programs
under Social Security.
It has submitted a series of five
interim reports and five detailed
background papers, which served
as the basis for the final summary
report issued today.
Copies of the report are available 
from the Superintendent of
Documents, U. S. Government
printing Office. Single copies are
priced at $1.25.

and as a member of its Council. 
He also is a member of the
National Academy of Sciences and
of the American Academy of Arts
and Sciences.
A native of St. Louis, now 52, he
holds the A. B. degree from Rice
University and the Ph. D from
Harvard. He also studied at the
California Institute of Technology
and at the institute for Advanced
Study in Princeton, N. J. A member 
of the Harvard faculty since
1943, he has taught as a visitor at
several American campuses and at
Oxford in 1966-67 as the George
Eastman Visiting Professor.

Centennial Scrapbook
 1869
 "Cutting and storing ice in large
quantities for export and for domestic 
supply is a strictly American enterprise, 
which from a small beginning in 1805
has grown to be a great business throughout
northern states, employing thousands of
men ... The value of ice crops from northern 
lakes, rivers, and ponds in good seasons
is enormous. It is not infrequent that ice on
ponds near a large city will be sold for more
money in a single winter than the whole
farm on which the pond is situated originally 
cost. This was particularly true of ponds
near the Hudson during the scarcity and
high price season of 1868-69." a commercial
news reporter noted the following year.
When this was written of the natural ice
trade, its decline had begun. Plants were
ready at New Orleans and other southern
cities to produce artificial ice the year
around. The largest opened at Atlanta in
1869, in a revival of that war-ravaged city's
industries. Mechanics in England and France,
as well as the U.S., had adopted principles
of a machine patented in 1850 by John Gorrie, 
a physician in Apalachicola, 
Florida.
Gorrie's machine was,
in effect, the beginning of
mechanical air-conditioning 
in the U.S., as well as
of artificial ice-making
and refrigeration Industries. 
He invented it as a
method of cooling rooms
for fever patients.
Until then there were
only primitive means of
cooling surroundings artificially. 
Only rich Romans

had villas with double walls so hollows in between 
could be filled with snow brought
from mountain tops in leather bags borne by
relays of runners. Cooling by evaporation
was practiced in some forms, but others
were dependent on fans in hands of slaves
or themselves.

Mrs. Edmund Muskie Discovers
Negro Women's 'Know How' Skills
Mrs. Edmund
Muskie declared recently that during 
her first experience at national 
political campaigning last fall
she found Negro women "have developed 
uncommon political skill
and perception."
In describing the hectic campaign
days of Senator Muskie's VicePresidential 
race, in a copyrighted
article in the current issue of McCall's, 
just released, Mrs. Muskie
said she "had become weary of
women who compulsively spin their
wheels in activity designed more to
fill a void than to help a cause.
"Early in the campaign, I was
assured that most modern women 
— particularly if they are black
— know that there is too much at
stake today to be spectators in the
national arena," she said.
"One of my strongest impressions
— heightened perhaps because I
was born and raised in a small
New England state where few Negroes 
live – is that American black
women have developed uncommon
political skill and perception."
Mrs. Muskie added that working

with a group of Negro women to
Washington, D. C. on a fund-raising 
effort during the campaign
"gave me the chance to observe a
sort of national sampling of creative, 
practical, aggressive women
who were resolved to make a difference 
in their communities."
She revealed that after her husband's 
defeat in November, their
eldest son, Steve, said "he made
is sound more like a beginning
than an end."
"We had not won," said Jane
Muskie, "but — maybe more important 
— my husband had had
the chance to demonstrate, hid belief 
that if you take, personal risks,
if you trust people, you never really 
lose."
On the day after the election.
Senator Muskie went out to play
golf, his wife reported. "He turned
at the door before he left and
said to me, 'You know, it's going
to be nice to get back to that
garden. He hasn't yet," Mrs. Muskie 
wrote in McCall's "I doubt
that he has the chance, as much
as he might like."

Thousands Of Persecuted Jews
Leaving Poland Says Time Report
Some
7,000 Jews left Poland last year,
and another 7,000 or 8,000 are
readying to depart as the result
of a political power struggle that
has stirred up the historic antiSemitism 
in that country, Time
magazine reports in its current
issue.
If the present rate of the Jewish
exodus continues Time notes, "all
that will remain behind in another
year or so will be some 10,000 Jews,
most of them too old or infirm
to start a new life abroad."
On a recent trip throughout Poland, 
Time correspondent William
Made runcovered a catalogue of
good reasons why the nightly Chopin 
Express leaves Warsaw's
Gdnask rail station for Vienna
carrying. Polish Jews who have
made the heart-wrenching decision
to leave their homeland forever.
Bereft of all worldly possessions
they leave Poland because their
children are ridiculed and beaten
in school by their fellow students.
Adule Jews are taunted and increasingly 
find their livelihood in
jeopardy. Time reports that scores
of Jews have been purged from
top government posts and those
who survive in lesser jobs live in
fear that they too will be sacked.
"In the major cities," Time says,
"the synagogues have fallen into
disuse because so many Jews have
left. Those who remain fear to
gather openly for worship: instead
the men meet for prayers in private 
homes."
Time can former Interior
Minister of Poland Mieczyslaw

Moczar as the instigator of this
latest persecution of Jews in Eastern 
Europe. Last spring Moczar
used an outbreak of student unrest 
to incite the Poles against
"Zionist" agitators.
Moczar roped to under cut the
position of Communist Party boss
Wladyslaw Gomulka, whose wife is
Jewish But in the process, Time
says, Moczar inflamed old Polish
antagonisms against the many Jewish 
Communists who fled to Russia 
during World War II and then
returned to Poland with the invading 
Soviet army in 1944.
The early postwar polish Communist 
party, Time notes, was dominated 
by Jewish Communists who,
backed by the Soviets, helped impose 
a stern Stalinist rule upon
the country that was not broken
until Gomulka came to power in
1956.

Loral Gives
Disadvantaged
Group Chance
A group of 17
New York City residents, once considered 
unemployable or underemployed, 
has completed the initial
phase of their recruitment into the
world of electronics at Loral Electronic 
Systems, a division of Loral
Corporation.
The group finished a week's orientation 
to musiness life and now
are receiving on-the-job training
for positions as draftsmen; associate 
technicians to electronic test
equipment maintenance and research 
laboratory; accounting and
production control clerks; expediter; 
printe rand clerk-typist, according 
to Raymond J. Uhrich, division 
president.
"These trainees have responded
enthusiastically to their new business 
environment and our program
is progressing satisfactorily at this
stage," Uhrich said.
The division is one of the first
industrial firms in the Bronx area
to receive a federal government
MA-4 contrace to hire and train
disadvantaged persons. Eventually, 
Uhrist said, 30 persons will be
included in the company's two-year
program, part of a massive joint
government-industry effort to pro
vide 
career jobs for helf a million 
such individuals by 1971.
The division designs and manufactures 
electronic systems for
counter-measures, reconnaissance
and surveillance, navigation computers,

Danforth Foundation Reveals
Recipients Of Short-Term Grants
The Danforth Foundation announced 
recently the 1969 recipients
of short-term leave grants to assist 
college and university administrators. 
These grants provide
opportunities for administrators to
enlarge their perspectives of current 
and future educational issues
and to renew their inner resources
for continued leadership in higher
education.
In announcing, the recipients, W.
David Zimmerman, director of the
short-term leave grants, stated.
"Administrative leadership is of
critical importance for the future
of higher education as the many
incidents on college and university
campuses in recent months attest.
"Through this effort begun in
1958 the Foundation hopes to assist 
a number of individuals who
while having past accomplishments
hold promise for continued significant 
leadership to higher education." 

At the same time the Foundation 
also hopes to demonstrate the
value of such leaves so that institutions 
will establish their own
leave programs for administrators
just as they now provide sabbaticals
fof faculty members."
The grants are intended primarily 
for presidents and principal academic 
officers of junior colleges,
four-year colleges and universities.
In selection preference is given to
individuals who have served at least
five years in their present posi
tion, 
or in a similar position, but
who are not yet within five years
of retirement.
Among the individuals named as
recipients of the grants for 1969
are L. H. Foster, President, Thukegee 
Institute; William H. Hale
President, Langston University
Willis M. Tate, president, Southern
Methodist University; Sharvey G.
Umbeck, President, Knox—College;
The grant enables each recipient
to take a leave from his institution
of two to four months in length.
The Foundation provides up to $5000 
for the expenses incurred during 
the leave for the recipient and
spouse. The recipient's institution
is expected to continue his salary
for the period of the leave.
The Danforth Foundation created 
by the late Mr. and Mrs. William 
H. Danforth in 1927 is a
philanthropy concerned primarily
with people and values.
Presently the Foundation focuses
its activities in two major areas
education and the city. In these
areas the Foundation administers
programs and makes grants to
schools, colleges, universities and
other public and private agencies.
