Daily Gazette, Wednesday, Nov. 8,1987 Area News in UNDERSTANDING HIS "REASONS An important part of the Whitewater State University Roseman Campus School experimental study of humanities is the private conference of individual student and teacher. Without criticising, moralizing, or injcting any opinions of his own, instructor Tom Grotclueschen helps Jim McCord analyze why he has expressed a certain point of view. WSU Program Probes Study of Humanities categories. Some are used in determining the degree to which a child merely "accepts" a particular value or agrees in principle with it and sees worth in it.

Others are used in determining the degree to which he "prefers" a particular value and will choose it consistently when in a value conflict. The reaction sheets are administered before work is begun on a unit and again at its close. Also part of the plan are private conferences of each pupil with Grotclueschen, in which the teacher questions about value positions the child has taken in an attempt to clarify the child's view. In these interviews, the instructor is careful to maintain neutrality and to accept the child's expressions of value without criticizing or moralizing, yet showing deep interest in the view point given. Units Outlined In the consideration of the first value unit, "paramount re- Igard for human life," the chil- idren have studied, discussed, given reports on problems and issues directly-related to the i value, including use of the atomic bomb in World-War II, atmospheric nuclear testing, civil defense, and the effects of atomic war.

Students Stand in Long Line Tb Rent Art CHICAGO (AP) Standing in line is the bane of most college students, but at the University of Chicago students scramble for a chance to do just that. That's the queue for art works to decorate their rooms. The competition for selection of favorites is so intense that many get in line the night before the pictures are loaned so they will have priority to select the work they want. "Hardly had the shoe soles cooled from standing in registration lines at the start of the autumn term than the art rental exhibition was announced. For $1 a quarter, the students may rent pictures to hang in their rooms from the "Art to Live With" collection, which consists of 500 paintings, lithographs, silk screens and etchings.

Represented in the collection are works by such artists as Chagall, Miro Rouault, Hans Hoffman, Max Ernest, Francis Chapin, Max Kahn, Goya, Curt Seligman, Braque, Leger and Picasso. The collection was donated by Joseph Randall Shapiro, a trustee of the university, well-known art collector and president of the new Museum of rary Art In Chicago. Shapiro continues to add lo the collection, selecting works himself and having thcun custom-framed by the man who frames his own private llon. The loan collection grown from an initial 50 to ils present size, i The nominal rental fee paid; by the students covers insur -j ance. There is little damage to the works, Prof.

Harold Haydon, university art professor, said in an interview, because the students treat the pictures "with the greatest respect." Occasionally a glass has to be replaced and frames refinished, but this is routine and expected, he said. Shapiro reflected this view. He said the students look upon the pictures "as something to be revered." The idea for the art-loan program originated with Prof. Haydon. From the loan program, Haydon says, "a lot of students have developed lifelong interest in.the arts." Faculty and staff members of the university took envious note of the treasures made available to the students tnd tsked they, too, might not be included.
