The San Antonio Junior College
Balloons Illustrate
Psychology Trends
The film, “Balloons: Aggression
and Destruction game s,” dem-
onstrating a projective technique of
a study of aggression and destruc-
tion in young children, shown here
last week, is part of a series of
films being shown in relation to the
study of psychology. It was shown
to all psychology classes under
Frederick Maples and Dr. Wayland
Moody.
A study of these traits, destruc-
tion and aggression, by psycholo-
gists was visualized on the screen
by showing the actions of two chil-
dren who were led into a room with
a number of balloons to play, with.
One child showed an aggressive
trait by not harming the balloons
and by keeping others from harm-
ing them also. The other trait was
held by the second child who play-
fully broke all the balloons, thus
releasing all aggressive tension.
In attempting to explain these
responses, psychologists says that
the personalities of these two boys
will be exact opposites, the first
child being the shy, retiring per-
sonality and a breeding ground for
mental disorders in later life, while
the second is one of a definite ex-
trovert type with destructive ten-
dencies always under control.
The remaining films of the
visual-aid series consist of the fol-
lowing:
March 8, ‘Behavior Patterns at
One-Year Old.”
March 15, “Early Social Behavior
of Children.”
March 28, “Frustration Play tech-
niques.”
April 5, (approx’) “Rejection—
History of a 23-Year Old Girl.’
May 17, ,‘Waste of Human Effort.”

Bennye Edgeworth was chosen

lege in the only majority vote cast
in last Wednesday’s election.
Others were chosen in a run-off
balloting Thursday.
Most Representative Girl is
Audrey Traugott, while Most Popu-
lar Boy and Most Representative
Boy honors went to Tommy Cook
and Bob Westkaemper, respectively.
Audrey defeated June Knox, who
won the Most Representative Girl
title as a freshman, by 35 votes.
The two bested Pat Keplinger and
Winifred Beeman in the first
voting.
Bennye won the popularity title
over Shirley Fisher and Rae Nell
Forrester by a slim majority.
Cook defeated Colesworthy by
an overwhelming vote. The two
were tops in votes over Bill Hig-
gins, Ray Lucas, Clem Curry, E. R.
Champion, R. L. Haller, Frank
Williams, and Pete Krust in the
first ballot.
The run-off race between West-
kaemper and Wall was the closest

previously led by a slim margin.

Moerner, Albert McRae and Irvin

President W. W. McAllister of the
Board of Trustees, President J. O.
Loftin, and Dean Wayland P.
Moody returned to San Antonio
Tuesday with a more ardent deter-
mination to build the best junior
college in America here in San An-
tonio. The trio visited many junior
colleges in California and attended
lectures on the junior college
philosophy.
McAllister boarded a special train
in Amarillo and on his west-ward
trip associated with some of the
leading junior college executives in
the country. This rich experience,
together with visiting the plants
for three days in California, has
left the president of the Board
more than anxious to push the new
college plant for the San Antonio
Junior College.
The public junior colleges in
California are divided into two
classes—those with two years of
College similar to S.A.J.C. and
those with four years of college
beginning with the tenth grade and
running through the fifteenth
grade. Tuition is free and students
do not graduate from high school
in many of the places, but merely
graduate from the lower division
into the upper division of the col-
leges. This makes for very large
enrollments and more extensive
plant facilities.
Because of earthquakes in Cali-
fornia, many of the new junior
college buildings are one-s t o r y
buildings. The cost of building two-
story structures is often prohibited;
therefore the campuses are large
and buildings are scattered over
much area. In order to make the
buildings attractive, the architects
have many unique designs including
over-hanging eaves, glass brick,
large glass areas, interesting furni-
ture, and pastel colors.
The American Association of
Junior Colleges had a research
committe on building plants make
a summary of their findings, and
this summary was brought back
by Mr. Loftin to present to the
college architects for such ideas as
they may incorporate in the new
buildings.
