...like so many laboratory animals. San Francisco's Allen Wheelis, who is both psychoanalyst and thoughtful novelist, believes that a human being who submits to behavior manipulation "is treating himself as object and to some extent, therefore, becomes an object." In a similar vein, Los Angeles Analyst Judd Marmor recently wrote that the new method comes "uncomfortably close to the dangerous area of thought and behavior control." Not so, says Behaviorist Alan Goldstein of Temple University. "People come to us to have their behavior changed. It is not our choice. We don't tell them how they ought...

"We don't attract as many wonks," Marmor asserts, "because there aren't as many wonks in the College." The stiff competition for admission has, as the Bender report warned, led increasingly to a student body of studiers, who have little inclination to abandon the library for football drills. Ned Alpers, the new band manager, warns that it is "useless" to continue "whining for the old band," because the kind of people who composed it are no longer around. Alper feels...
