In these uses, precise methods of behavior modi­ fication are carefully applied in a systematic fashion to help people with problems. The aim is to facilitate improved self-control, expand skills, abilities, and independence, and to help overcome be­ havior problems. What is called behavior modification, contrary to some popular distortions, does not include brain surgery or elec- troshock. Rather, the scien­ tific and professional use of behavior modification tech­ niques relies on a voluntary agreement between the helper and the person who wants help or a parent or guardian. The agreement, or "contract," de­ fines rewards for positive steps toward the troubled person's goal or, in some cases, pun­ ishments for failures to live up to the agreement. Here's one example: In a research project in Kansas, supported by the Na­ tional Institute of Mental Health, a part of HEW's Al­ cohol, Drug Abuse, and Men­ tal Health Administration, 12 to 16-year-old delinquent boys in steady trouble for stealing, running away, vandalism, or similar acts, are being taught socially acceptable behavior, and skills to help them change the behavior that got them into difficulty. Modification of their behavior is achieved via a point system set up by the boys themselves and the staff of "Achievement Place," where the project is being conducted. Points are won or lost depending on their per- Pi Alpha Officers PAGE 3 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY ,*MAY 28, 1975 Methodist Confirmation Class Shown above, left to right, first row, are Charles Adams, Patrick Becker, David Hinspater, Steve Moulis, and Tom Potts; second row, Jennifer Leonard, Theresa Weingart, Marilyn Adams, teacher; Mary O'Donnell, Sue Ewald, Lisa Toole, Michelle Pish, and Corinna Aissen; third row, Tammy Pernstrom, Laurie Harney, Scott Shulda, Ed Gerstad, Eric Lange, and Scott Anthofer; fourth row, Gary Adams, teacher, and Ralph J.

The members of this year's confirmation class participated in their own service of Confirmation as they led the congregation in worship. This participation enabled these new members to sense that they were a participatory part of the body of Christ. The lay teachers of the class, Gary and Marilyn Adams, also shared in the Confirmation service, and Mr. and Mrs. Bob Koenig, chairpersons of the Membership committee, lighted the symbolic candles of faith, after the class was confirmed into membership.

From EMU, West Union, Ohio: Do you remember when a school teacher only made $55 per month? Out of that she paid room and board for the five days teaching. Sometimes she had to pay for transportation, too That was by horse and buggy hired from the livery stable. The school room was heated by a tall, round, pot-bellied stove in the middle of the room. The teacher was her own janitor carrying in coal and taking out the ashes, making the fire, sweeping the floor, dusting, etc., all in ad­ dition to attending to the needs of her pupils She was often entertained over­ night by the parents of her stu­ dents. It was the custom then to do so The parents were concerned as to what kind of a person the teach­ er of their child was Several grades were taught in one room and children learned not only from their grade level but also from higher grades Weather was no problem. There was snow and ice, but it was never enough to dismiss school. The teacher was always there. They were healthy and could endure the inclement weather. Thirst was quenched in the schoolroom by all drinking from a long-handled ladle which rested in a bucket of water. The water came from a spring several yards away from the school building.

STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Behavior Modification "Behavior modification" is a term used more and more frequently these days -- in ominous headlines or news­ papers stories, in movies and television programs, and in conversation. It is often erroneously pre­ sented and understood as an undesirable method of "mind control," a means to manipu­ late others by some kind of se­ cret and powerful technology. In reality, it is not the least bit mysterious. In a way, it's as old as history. Basically, we all use it one way or another all the time. A form of behavior modification is involved in every instance of reward or punishment aimed at encouraging good behavior or changing unwanted be­ havior. A spanking teaches a child not to repeat a certain act; a hug tells him or her that a deed is fine and should be repeated. Other examples are money a parent offers a child for a good report card or after- school privileges taken away for a bad one; for adults, a raise in wages rewards and reinforces excellent job per­ formance. In recent years, these com­ mon principles for changing behavior have begun to be applied by psychologists, psy­ chiatrists, educators, social workers, speech therapists, and others in the helping pro- a formance. Earned points then can he used to buy privileges. The study has shown that Achievement Place youths progress far better than simi­ lar delinquents sent to State training schools or put on pro­ bation. This approach is now in widespread use. Other behavior modification research is being supported to develop methods of helping people with a wide range of problems, including asthma, insomnia, hypertension, alco­ holism, and drug addiction. In nearly all instances, the ap­ proach used is "positive rein­ forcement" which involves re­ wards for learning and con­ tinuing a new behavior. In some instances of se­ verely self-destructive behav­ ior--for instance, continual head-banging or tongue-biting by a child, or long-term her­ oin use by an adult--un­ pleasant or "aversive" meth­ ods are agreed upon to help persons overcome such prob­ lems. In these instances, the "punishment" is less detri­ mental than the behavior be­ ing corrected and is used only after other methods have failed. --be on the lookout for uneven sidewalks, broken curbs and holes that could cause stumbles. --while passing through lorVely, dark stretches in an auto keep doors locked and windows closed --when unknown persons signal, proceed to a well-lighted area such as a gas station before pulling over New member of Pi Alpha chapter, Virginia Stasiak, receives Ritual of Jewels degree.
