"LONG MEMORY" John Mills Structure in Prejudice By LEN GOODMAN Speakers for the evening in cluded Clarence R. Carpenter, professor of psychology; Walter Coutu, professor of sociology; and David R. Mackey, assistant pro fessor of speech. Carpenter preferred to discuss the question on the basis of “How Can We Learn to Understand Hu man Institutional Variations, and Act Justly?” In this way, he maintained, we more nearly ap proach the central problem of dis crimination. Segmented Groups He described the problem as lying in the tendency to identify individuals with specific and segmented groups in the society, and the processes even in institu tionalized religion. Coutu described prejudice as a “highly emotionalized attitude toward a ‘type’ of people—a kind of false type.” The biases are in duced by che structure of society itself, he maintained, and in the identification of power centers within society. The sources of prejudice may be found, Coutu declared, in the personality needs of the individ ual, as expressions of social struc ture and power centers, and as traditions of the very society and culture. Unaware of Prejudice Mackey believed that many are honestly unaware that they spoke with the “tongue of prejudice,” and were creators of prejudice. A certain amount of “stylishness” is felt among discriminators, he said, in supposed influence, cul ture, and personality. This agreed with Coutu’s state ment that “when social structures cease to be useful, they cease to be used.” Mackey also stated that the feeling of “closeness” about belonging to a minority tended to self-perpetuate that minority. To combat racial and religious discrimination, Carpenter sug gested that everyone be taught the facts and principles of hu man adjustment, and the impor tance of human and institutional variability. Also, that each learn to know, understand, and appreciate those who differ with us and from us; and be prepared. to consider the possibility that other institutions may have greater value than our own. Coutu maintained that to elim inate discrimination—a form of social laws, and personal contacts in groups must be promoted. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE.

For the curious, the above portrait is called a montage. A more accurate rendition may be seen in the Western Union window. If the other XO’s are half as much fun as those photo graphed yesterday this composite should be sheer play. Sororities -vary as night and day but did you ever notice the similarity of types in any one sorority? Noticably so. I doubt if we’ll have many more openings for Christmas portraits. Hold off if you’re not trying to make a Christ mas deadline, otherwise make your reservation this week. Check Marilyn Schadt and Sandra Booth. b.c.
