Hit-Run Driver-- (Continued from page one) charges of entering the room of a student while he was home for the weekend. Both were previous offenders. Two Students on Probation Two other students involved in the same incident were placed on office probation. Tribunal had recommended that the first student be suspended un til the spring semester, but the subcommittee deferred this action, which will continue until the end of his academic career. The four students were charged with entering the room, cracking a window, breaking a light, spill ing coffee on linen and bedding, smearing jelly on text books, spill ing cookies on the floor, spraying shaving cream about the room and pulling a brass plate from the door. IM Boxing -- (Continued from page seven) verdict from the tough 165-pound Teke. In a 145-pound indie scrap, 'Fred Knipe used a left jab to good advantage in taking a deci sion from Bob Wands. The fight lacked action as both men put on a fine show of defense. In a 155 pound fight, Joe Nock of Alpha Chi Sigma eked out a close triumph over Phi Kappa Sigma's Dick Spitko. The battle was marked with closeness all the way. A 165-pound independent fight acted as the evening's finale. Dick Conway won the scrap from Har old Clark by virtue of expert and tactful infighting. Marriage Prof Cites Lack of Objectivity The biggest stumbling block in teaching marriage courses is getting the student to think in broad terms and forget his personal problems, according to Dr. William M. Smith. - Dr. Smith, professor of family relationships, said that too often a student brings into the classroom only his own problems in the hopes of firOing , a solution. What he should do is' learn the basic concepts in mar riage relationships and work from there, he said Marriage Objectives Cited The main objectives of a mar riage course, according to Dr. Smith. are: - 1. To help the student realize' the inadequacy of his beliefs about family relationships. People tend to think that their own family is a reflection of all families. 2. To help the student shift from praise and blame to broader con cepts through descriptive formu las. The course does not give "right and wrong" answers, but helps to develop a point of view where an individual doesn't blame others for conditions. To Aid Students 3. To help the student develop his own way to look at marriage and think problems through to answers. This is done by acquaint ing the student with sources of information and by developing a criteria for what they read. These teaching methods have been proven effective by surveys, Dr. Smith said. One of the most SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1956 effective proofs is the detection of changes in attitude in students, he said. Smith Relates Story Dr. Smith relates the story of one engaged couple enrolled in his course who always sat to gether and worked on joint pro jects. At about the middle of the semester, he noticed that they no longer sat together. By the end of the course the engagement was broken and the young man was engaged to one of his class mates. In a survey of Wisconsin high schools where marriage courses are required, the illegitimacy rate fell off 18 per cent, and there is •less divorce and less syphilis.
