Parents of Pacific students-most of them affluent Palo Alto professionals-are generally enthusiastic about the school. Educators acquainted with its program are cautiously willing to concede that in some ways it represents a healthy experiment. Berkeley Psychologist Norma Haan thinks Pacific is "realistic about the problems that today's teen-agers and their parents face." Children who merge from such a free school tend to be behind in factual knowledge, she notes, but they catch up quickly because "they are better able to interpret what they read." They also get a lot of adolescent rebelliousness out of their...
...half-dozen or so empirical studies of student conservatives are summarized by Block, Haan, and Smith: parents of conservative students are disproportionately Republican and Protestant, and they tend to be authoritarian and achievement-oriented in their child-rearing practices; the students, themselves, tend to view their own value patterns along the lines of Ayn Rand's. Heavily concentrated in business curricula, student rightists appear to be active not only at the large, prestigious and visible institutions, but also at many smaller colleges -- especially church-related ones, southern universities, and technical and other career-oriented institutions...
Touching Letter. Last March, without warning, Ronny Haan was fired. So were both of his brothers.

That $150 figure was a misprint, they said, and they offered Ronny Haan $18.75 instead. Ronny went on the trip...
Since then, Ronny Haan has called three mass meetings in the Labor Temple, set up the grievance committee and enlisted other carriers in the cause. The newsboys have drafted a list of 13 grievances that they would like to discuss with management. To counter this youthful rebellion, the Eagle-Times has chosen to ignore it. "Ronald wanted to have his own way in virtually everything," said Eagle-Times General Manager William Rohn. "We have nothing to apologize for in our dealing with the boys. Our carrier organization is intact. They've never expressed any dissatisfaction." Not yet, anyway...
