(ACP) While more and more
campuses experiment with new cur
ricualr structures and other changes
designed to individualize the learning
process, a new study says much of
what is called innovation is really
"renovation and tinkering."
In many cases, as Michigan State
University researchers have pointed
out in a new study of undergraduate
curriculum trends, the changes were
not original concepts. What was in
novative in one institution may
already have become "established" in
others.
Samuel Baskin, president of the
Union for Research and Experimen
tation in Higher Education, noted that
much of what passes for innovation
may not be innovative.
"THERE ARE a lot of seemingly
innovative steps that may not mean
anything," he said. In independent
study, for instance, "if the faculty
member's basic attitude toward the
student hasn't changed, and if he is
still directing the student in one way
or another, then independence in
learning isn't being developed."
Baskin listed six major types of innovation:
Breaking large schools into
smaller ones, such as the Michigan
State plan.
Increasings use of seminars,
tutorials and independent study.
A b andoning single-disciplined
courses in favor of interdisciplinary
ones.
Making off-campus field work a
regular part of the curriculum; using
videotapes, computers and other
technological developments.
Expanding the role of research
and experimentation in the regular
college operation.
AMID ALL THE so-called new
developments, Baskin believes two
may represent "new models for
teaching and learning." One is the
"college of dispersion" in which
students study and work in a cross
cultural environment. "Beach-head
colleges" such as those operated by
the union in Appalachia and Hawaii,
and store-front colleges, "if taken to
their fullest realization, become col
leges without walls," Baskin said.
In such environments, students and
faculty work together in the field on a
"problem-centered curriculum" with
on-going seminars. The life of action
and the life of reflection are combin-

An art exhibit with the theme "Mary Cassatt Among the Impressionists" will be on display at Joslyn
Art Museum in Omaha through June 1. Special emphasis has been directed to significant works by
Mary Cassatt, one of America's outstanding women painters, who is represented in the collection,
"Portrait of Lydia Cassatt, The Artist's Sister." Other 19th century artists with paintings in the
exhibit are Edgar Degas, Edouard Monet, Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir, Camille Pissarro, Berthe
Morisot, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Childe Hassam, John Singer Sargent and James Abbott Mc
Neil Whistler.
Monkey psychologist says
'Man inhibited about love'
by Connie Winkler
Nebraskan Staff Writer
Man is hopelessly inhibited about
love and knows very little about it,
according to Dr. Harry Harlow,
director of the primate laboratory at
the University of Wisconsin. Harlow,
who Is noted for his work with the
rhesus monkey, spoke in the Nebraska
Union ballroom Wednesday at the in
vitation of Mu Epsilon Nu, the men's
Teacher College honorary.
Harlow says there are five kinds
of love: maternal love, the love of
infant for mother, age-mate affection,
hetero-sexual affection and the love
of adult male for the female and
offspring. They develop in this order,
he said.
IN HIS work with maternal love,
Harlow constructed dummy mothers
some made out of wire and some
covered with terry cloth. The rhesus
babies with cloth, dummy mothers
were happier and less depressed, he
said. The monkeys would cling to tho
doth mother for 22-23 hours, but to
the wire mother for only two hours
a day. "Few people recognized the
body comfort idea as part of the
mother giving basic security and
trust," he added.
Perhaps more important than
maternal love is age-mate affection,
Harlow said. Age-mate affection
comes through Intimate physical in
teraction or playing as children. "It
may bo possible to get by without
maternal love, but no primate is going

to live without age-mate affection,"
he said.
As the young monkeys play, it is
possible by observation to separate
the males from females, he continued.
"If you don't think this relates to
human beings, just, watch a fifth
grade picnic," he explained. This
playing eventually gives way to
hetero-sexual love, but unless there
is maternal love and age-mate affec
tion sexual love is destroyed.
HARLOW HAS DONE a long series
of studies on the affects of social
isolation on monkeys and found "the
longer they are alone, the goofier they
get." When the monkeys are isolated
they turn to thumb sucking, then to
a stereotype behavior such as jumping
up and down, then to a schizophrenic
stare and then to a biting and tearing
at the body.
In a normal animal this aggression
Is a late maturing response after
maternal love and age-mate affection.
If love comes first aggression is not
as strong. Due to this timing man
can live as a social animal, he
said.
To investigate the lack of antece
dent love, Harlow raised females
without any kind of love. These
"motherless mothers" paid absolutely
no attention to the infants even though
the infants always tried to break down
the mothers' inattention. Some
mothers mashed the lnfants's face3
into the wire or bit off hte babies
fingers. Harlow feels that this can
reuillly be applied to humans and the
battered-child syndrome.

ed, it is hoped, into a single ex
perience. The second innovation, according to
Baskin, is the experimental college
run jointly by students and faculty.
"When students and faculty plan the
curriculum together, you're getting
into some pretty basic redevelop
ments," Baskin said.
.
CURRICULUM RESEARCHERS
feel sound innovation which comes
about when ideas and practices are
organized in new and creative ways
into a coherent whole to promote stu
dent learning is rare.
"Faculty interests, publicity, In
stitutional prestige, opportunism and
experience in responding to pressures
or to availability of financial resources
are more potent determiners of
specific change than Is deliberation
based on educational goals, sodal
needs and the abilities and aspirations
of students," researchers report.
The forces creating change over the
past 10 years are essentially no dif
ferent from those bringing about
earlier changes, the report said. "On
ly the more compelling contemporary
tempo has altered significantly."-
