PSYCHOLOGY
New Theory
Discussed
By Mowrer
Dr. O. H. Mowrer, president
elect of the American Psychologi
cal Association, expounded a new
theory in mother-child relation
ships in his two lectures Monday
afternoon and evening in Social
Science Auditorium.
Speaking on "Speech Develop
ment" and "Problems and Trends
in American Psychological Asso
ciation," Dr. Mowrer contradicted
the old adage that a mother must
treat her baby impersonally.
Instead, he said that if a mother
and baby begin to enjoy eacn
other "the baby begins to like the
human race and wants to be like
it."
Comparing the way a bird
iparns to sneak with the way a
child learns, Dr. Mowrer said that
both must be cared lor, given ai
tention and made to like the in
structor. He said that sounds can be
"baited," and the baby can be
made to like the sounds and want
to imitate them. He applies this
theory in work with speech de
fects and hearing difficulties.
Dr. Mowrer, a research psychol
ogist from the University of Illi
nois, is specializing in psycho
therapy, the treatment of mental
disorders. He said his work in
speech and his lectures to under
graduates is more of a sideline.
Dr. Mowrer is conducting semi
nars with graduate students in
psychology Tuesday and Wednes
day. He will also be one of three
speakers at the University's Psy
chology Symposium on "Current
Research and Theory in Motiva-
The symposium is financed by
a grant from the U.S. Public
Health Service and is scheduled
Thursday and Friday. Dr. Mowr-
er's participation is in connection
with his research work.

"Tnere needs to be a new type
of safety education."
Judge John Jacobsen of the mu
nicipal court said this after sign
ing a "Crusade for Safety" pledge
of the safety campaign sponsored:
by The Nebraskan. ' I
Jacobsen pointed out that new
automobiles travel faster than any
state highway is capable of carry
ing them and that the speed of a
car is faster than the mental oper
ation. It is impossible to translate
thoughts into physical action fast
enough to prevent accidents at
high speeds, Jacobsen said.
He thinks that the large amount
of single-car accidents are the re
suit of lack of knowledge and re
spect for the high power of mod
em cars. Drivers forget that acci
dents can happen to them, and
they do not realize that safety in-
iuucs them.
For some time Jacobsen has
horror" pictures of car accidents
don't impress people with their
seriousness. His idea is that per
sons will not translate what they
see in Dictures to their own lives;
it could not possibly happen to
them
Jacobsen said that first we need
to emphasize an understanding of
the "instrument" we are operai
ing and an understanding of the
potentialities of that car. Second,
we need to emphasize an attitude
of responsibility while driving.
Chief Josenh Carroll and Cap
tain C. C. Hurd, both of the in
coln Police, also signed the safety
pledge. .

driver, "Don't you like the view
and air up there?"
"Yep," responded thes drunk.
