University Microfilms INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced.

Getting Straight .............. l64 BELIEF SYSTEMS AND THE COLLEGE FILM During a screening of Horse Feathers at The Ohio State University Film Society, I watched the Marx Brothers glee­ fully make fools of college deans, professors, and students. They attacked the traditional, institutionalized forms of college life, satirizing the highly-structured heirarchy involved in education, and pompousness and highly absurd rituals that seems to be a part of the college milieu. From the classroom to the football field, the Marxes did their best to ridicule the educational system. It struck me that Horse Feathers was a brilliant, inspired version of the image of college that has dominated practically all American films. To judge by the films I could remember, administrators were rigid, slightly absurd authoritarians; teachers were ineffectual pedants. I could remember few films in which students took their teachers or their studies very seriously. A number of critics and educators have expressed concern about the image of education in films. They claim that this image is distorted, unsympathetic, and unfavor­ able to the performance of education’s proper role in a 1 modern^ democratic society.^ They regret that so influ­ ential a mass medium does so little to show the vital role that education plays— or, at any rate, should play— in a democratic society. There has been no systematic attempt to study the image of education presented in American films or the exact nature of the implicit and explicit criticisms. The most ambitious study to date has been The Portrayal of Education in American Motion Pictures. 1911-1961. a University of Illinois doctoral dissertation by Jack SchwartzIn his study Mr. Schwartz analyzed some four hundred pictures dealing with education in general. As we would expect, he finds the treatment of education primarily negative. In most films, the school is presented as a highly conform­ ist environment, where deviant social and intellectual behavior is suppressed. Although some teachers are helpful and sympathetic, others are brutal and sadistic. Hiese ^Some examples of this type ,of criticism can be found in the following: Monika Kehoe, "Campus Confessions," School and Society, 48 (December 10, 1938), pp. 755-56; H.M. Lafferty, "Hollywood versus the School Teacher," School and Society, 62 (August 11, 1945)s PP. 92-94; Claude 6.

  • Making Amends: a Restorative Justice Approach to Classroom Behavior
    Making Amends: A Restorative Justice Approach to Classroom Behavior Cathy Smeltzer Erb Eastern Mennonite University Peyton Erb Harrisonburg City Schools Abstract Enticed by developing skills that would empower students to solve problems, take responsibility for their own actions within the classroom community, and model real-life processes for resolving conflict, a team of third-grade teachers responsible for nearly 100 students embarked on creating a classroom behavior system titled Making Amends. Framed by social learning (CASEL, 2017) and principles of restorative justice (Evans, Lester, & Anfara, 2013), the approach promotes student-initiated protocols to resolve classroom conflicts. When harm has been caused, the offending student selects a sentence frame from the Making Amends binder to name the harm, take responsibility for the harm caused to persons or the classroom, and identify an action to repair the harm. As a result of the Making Amends system, teachers report decreased teacher involvement in resolving classroom conflicts, enhanced instructional focus by the teacher, and increased student ability to self-manage behavior and take responsibility for actions. Classrooms are microcosms of society where children learn the social and emotional skills necessary to become engaged citizens in society. As promoted by the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL, 2017), social and emotional learning in the classroom involves the development of self-awareness, social awareness, responsible decision making, self-management, and relationship skills. Developing these skills requires that children are provided with opportunities to recognize the impact of their behavior on others, empathize 91 with others, constructively engage decision-making and problem-solving processes, regulate one’s own emotions and behavior, and constructively negotiate conflict.

  • The Anonymous Groups
    The Enduring Legacy: the anonymous groups The apology that launched a million amends By Jay Stinnett, Los Angeles July 27th, 2008, marked the 100th anniversary of Frank Buchman’s Spiritual Awakening – one that directly linked him to the cofounders of AA. As a young man Buchman gave everything he had to establishing a shelter for homeless boys in the slums of Philadelphia. The shelters success surpassed his budget and the six-member board of directors insisted that he cut the amount of food being given to his charges. He quit instead of cutting back. Resentment consumed him. His family despaired that he might not come to his senses. His work was destroyed by what he saw as the short-sightedness of others. His health was well past the breaking point. “Everywhere I went, I took me with me,” he later said. During a trip to recuperate in Europe, he exhausted the funds his father gave him and existed on the kindness of his family and the generosity of acquaintances. Tired and dejected he went to an Evangelical Conference in Keswick, England, hoping to connect with F.B. Meyer, a famous minister he knew, for spiritual help. Meyer was not in attendance; another plan gone awry. July 27, 1908, thirty year-old Frank Buchman, a Pennsylvanian Lutheran Minister, walked into an afternoon service with 17 other people to hear Jessie Penn Lewis preach on the cross of Christ. And then it happened. As Buchman sat in that Chapel, “There was a moment of spiritual peak of what God could do for me.

  • DIRECTORS GUILD of AMERICA: FIFTIETH ANNIERSARY TRIBUTE ELAINE MAY, November 17 LOUIS MALLE, December 8
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release November 1986 DIRECTORS GUILD OF AMERICA: FIFTIETH ANNIERSARY TRIBUTE ELAINE MAY, November 17 LOUIS MALLE, December 8 Elaine May and Louis Malle will be honored by The Museum of Modern Art as part of the ongoing DIRECTORS GUILD OF AMERICA: FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY TRIBUTE. Ms. May, film director, playwright, actress, and comedienne, is the subject of a tribute on Monday, November 17, at 6:00 p.m., when her 1976 revisionist buddy-movie Mikey and Nicky will be screened. Mr. Malle, a provocative director of sensual images who has experimented with a variety of film forms, will present his 1980 film Atlantic City, starring Burt Lancaster and Susan Sarandon, on Monday, December 8, at 6:00 p.m. In Mikey and Nicky Ms. May tailors the framing and dialogue to the personalities of the actors John Cassavetes and Peter Falk. Convinced that a contract is out for him, Nicky (Cassavetes), a small-time hood, calls his childhood friend Mikey (Falk), a syndicate man. Their one night encounter is the focus of the film. A seemingly casual approach cleverly disguises a tight, carefully-planned structure. From a screenplay by John Guare, Mr. Malle's Atlantic City uses the transitory character of the boardwalk town as a backdrop for a tale of decay and corruption. Mr. Lancaster plays the aging friend and protector of an ambitious nightclub croupier, played by Ms. Sarandon. As a child Ms. May appeared on stage and radio with her father, Jack Berlin. After collaborating with Mike Nichols on stage, radio, and television through the mid-sixties, she made her film acting debut in Clive - more - 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y 10019 Teh 212-708-9400 Cable: MODERNARI Telex: 62370MODART - 2 - Donner's Luv (1967) and Carl Reiner's Enter Laughing (1967).
