...research whose results we print here was done by Dr. Albert Bandura, professor of Psychology at the University of Stanford. Apart from the intrinsic interest of his conclusions, the material presented here should demonstrate the full power of the media in shaping our values and molding human behavior...
Hayakawa, who is the third new president in 27 months, will need a profound understanding of behavior in particular if he is to deal effectively with the convulsed San Francisco campus. Students have been beaten, buildings occupied, fires started, and stink bombs thrown; plainclothes and uniformed police were everywhere. Even the faculty seemed hopelessly divided...
Last month Hayakawa angrily reported to a faculty meeting that "black students are again disrupting the campus." And he attacked teachers who condoned or defended the disruption. "There are many whites who do not apply to blacks the same standard of morality and behavior they apply to whites," he said.

Community Treatment. The real way to change criminal behavior is to goad losers into earning the self-respect that they lack in the first place. Menninger would abolish today's moralistic "punishment" for the few, which simply deepens their hostility. Along with far swifter police work, he favors a therapeutic approach. Trials should mainly determine the facts of a crime, ignore the defense of "legal insanity" and bar the squabbling rival psychiatrists who now only serve to confuse the proceedings. Instead, judges before sentencing should be provided with psychiatric reports and (as in California) hand out only indeterminate sentences...
