School discipline problems discussed
By VALERIE GLENZ
Collegian Staff Writer
Normal behavior displayed by
children can easily become disrup
tive in a classroom setting, an affil
iate professor of education said last
night.
James Levin, also an academic
adviser in the Division of Under
graduate Studies, spoke on “Disci
pline in the Schools” as part of the
“Current Issues in Education” se
ries sponsored by Phi Delta Kappa,
the international professional edu-'
cation organization.
Levin said schools are prone to
misbehavior because they concen
trate a large number of children in
one area for long periods of time,
they expose well-behaved children
to norm-violating behavior and be
cause many students would rather
be somewhere else than in school.
“Classes are overcrowded and
the schools can’t meet the special
needs of some of the children. This

causes behavior problems,” Levin
said.
Many factors cause children to
misbehave, he said. “These are
both internal and external to stu
dents, and they are both inside and
outside of the schools.”
The learning environment is an
important factor in whether or not
students will misbehave.
“If a teacher doesn’t have a sup
portive, caring climate and doesn’t
appropriately use the learning prin
ciples, then the blame can’t be put
on the kids,” Levin said. “Poor
instruction leads to misbehavior.”
Developmental difficulties, in
cluding physical and cognitive
changes that adolescents go
through, may cause students to
misbehave, Levin said. Societal
factors also play an important part.
“The conflict between internal
and external pressures (from peers
and society) create frustration, in
competence and tension which lead
to misbehavior,” Levin said. Unsta

vorce, abuse and poverty, also
contribute to misbehavior.
Levin said different teachers of
ten react to the same behavior in
different ways.
“Teachers really can do some
thing about classroom manage
ment they can change the way a
class behaves,” he said. “A teacher
must change his behavior to change
his students’ behavior, and he
doesn’t have to compete with stu
dents.
“Teachers and students have a
mutual responsibility. We have to
be prepared to teach, and they have
to come in and learn and let others
learn also.”
The rationale behind all disci
pline techniques should be that stu
dents have a right to sit there and
fail, but they don’t have the right to
disturb others, he. said.
“Teachers must believe that kids
are basically good this is the
start of an answer to the problem,”
Levin said.

Shrigley, professor of education
and coordinator for graduate stud
ies, curriculum and instruction. He
described a variety of short-term
coping skills teachers could use to
directly influence behavior.
“Body language, or nonverbal
communication, is often very effec
tive,” he said. “These techniques
range from less to more assertive
assertive enough to be effective,
but not enough to be aggressive.”
One technique is planned ignor
ing, or ignoring certain disruptive
behaviors, Shrigley said.
“Disruptive behavior that is not
reinforced often ceases on its own
accord,” he said.
Signal interference, or showing
the child disapproval of a behavior
by a signal such as the slow nodding
of the head, is another effective
means of controlling behavior.
Verbal techniques used by teach
ers include repeating a command
or request, raising the volume of
one’s voice and showing humor
instead of anger, Shrigley said.
Ross saw Special Jam for Special
Kids as a unique project, since it is in
support of “something right here in
Centre County.”

Chisox Guillen named
AL Rookie of the Year
By JOHN NELSON
AP Baseball Writer
NEW YORK Shortstop Ozzie
Guillen, who came to the Chicago
White Sox in a trade that sent a Cv
Young winner to San Diego, was
named the American League
Rookie of the Year in voting re
leased yesterday by the Baseball
Writers’ Association of America.
The 21-year-old Guillen, who liv
es in his native Venezuela, com
mitted just 12 errors in 150 games
this past season, the fewest of any
regular American League short
stop, while hitting .273.
He came to the White Sox last
Dec. 10 in the seven-player deal
that sent right-handed pitcher La-
Marr Hoyt, the 1983 Cy Young
award winner, to San Diego along
with two minor leaguers for pitch
er Tim Lollar, infielder Luis Sala
zar, Guillen and a minor leaguer.
Guillen received 16 of a possible
28 first-place votes alloted two
apiece among BBWAA members
in each of the 14 American League
cities for 101 total points. Ted
Higuera, a left-handed pitcher
from the Milwaukee Brewers, was
second with nine first-place votes
and 67 points.
Phillips steps down
from post with Saints
By AUSTIN WILSON
Associated Press Writer
NEW ORELANS - Bum Phillips
abuptly resigned as head coach of the
New Orleans Saints yesterday, fore
going the final $1.3 million of his
contract.
Also resigning were team Presi
dent Eddie Jones, Director of Foot
ball Operations Pat Peppier, and
Public Relations Director Greg Suit.
Jones, Peppier and Suit were asked
to resign by new owner Tom Benson.
Wade Phillips, son of the head
coach and defensive coordinator, was
named interim head coach. Benson
said he will work as president and
general manager.
“My job was to win football games.
My job here was to provide a winning
season, and I didn’t do that,” Phillips
said.
“Winning is the American way, and
I’m glad it is. It was winning that
e'nabled me to go from Class AA high
school in Texas to two head coach and
general manager jobs in the National
Football League.”
The Saints, after winning Sunday at
Minnesota, are 4-8 this year. Phillips
was 27-42 in four-plus seasons at New
Orleans and 86-80 for his career in the
NFL.
Third went to another Brewer,
infielder Earnest Riles, who got 29
points, followed by outfielder Odd
ibe McDowell, Texas, 25; pitcher
Stu Cliburn, California, 16; pitcher
Brian Fisher, New York, 7; pitch
er Tom Henke, Toronto, 5, and
catcher Mark Salas, Minnesota, 2.
McDowell, Cliburn and Henke
got the other first-place votes. A
first-place vote counts five points,
with three awarded for second and
one for third.
In 1985, Guillen became the third
Venezuelan to play shortstop for
the White Sox and the club’s fifth
Rookie of the Year award winner.
Before Guillen, Venezuelans
Chico Carrasquel and Luis Apari
cio played shortstop for the White
Sox. Chicago’s most recent rookie
winner was outfielder Ron Kittle
in 1983. Before that, they were
Aparicio in 1956, Gary Peters in
1963 and Tommie Agee in 1966.
Alvin Davis of the Seattle Mari
ners won the 1984 AL rookie
award.
Higuera finished second in bal
loting with a 15-8 record and 3.90
ERA for the Brewers. He allowed
30 earned runs and 186 hits in 2121-
3 innings pitched, striking out 127
and walking 63.
Benson said it was Phillips’ deci
sion to resign.
“I want you to know I didn’t ask for
it,” he said at a hastily called news
conference. “He told me he was doing
it for the good of the club, the good of
the city and for me.” ’
Benson bought the club from John
Mecom Jr. for almost $7O million
prior to this season.
He said it was always Phillips’ idea
to forego the final three years of his
contract. “He could have put his feet
up on the desk the next three years
and sat there,” Benson said.
Peppier handled player acquisi
tions and contracts for the Saints.
Jones and Suit handled the business
and public relations end.
Benson said he asked for Suit’s
resignation because he didn’t want
anyone around from the' 18 years of
losing since the team was formed in
1967. The Saints have never had a
winning season. They were 8-8 under
both Dick Nolan and Bum Phillips.
Wade Phillips said he accepted the
resignation of King Hill as offensive
coordinator, but would not say wheth
er he asked Hill to quit.
“I thought it would be the happiest
day of my life when I got to be the
head coach in the NFL,” the younger
Phillips said.
