Psychology of U.S. Consumer Discussed at PR Conference
Why do pople resist drinking tea, use cigarette holders, drink certain wines, put off buying new automobile tires, or eat prunes?
It’s all a matter of psychology, the fourth annual public relations conference was told yesterday by Dr. Ernest Dichter, president of the Institute for Research in Mass Motivations incorporated, New York.
“In modern public relations,” Dr. Dichter said, “the so-called common sense approach, which often seems so obviously right, is often the wrong approach.
Directly Informs “Despite the fact that the producer directly informs the public that today’s product is excellent, the approach doesn’t seem to achieve its hoped for results. Why? Because you are indirectly telling the consumer that his judgment and memory are wrong,” Dr. Dichter said. “You are indirectly denying that you had ever put out a poor product.
“Consumers have the memory of an elephant,” he continued, “as evidenced from a number of sur-
veys conducted for companies which were forced to market an inferior product during the war years. Even though it was only temporary, and the present product is now back to its pre-war quality, the public did not seem to want to forget its inferiority.
“The correct approach is an indirect one,” he continued, “based
New Student IR Club Membership Open to Everyone
A club for students interested in international relations is being organized under the sponsorship of professors in the international relations department.
Students working on plans are Perry Spanos, Murray Bring, Jim Smith, and Dick Merritt, IR president Daryll Emerick announced.
Membership is open to all students. Purpose of the club is to cultivate interest in foreign relations among non-IR majors, Miss Emerick said.
Election-Return Dance Here Tomorrow Night
Students can dance while they keep tabs on election returns tomorrow night.
An election dance, complete with combo, refreshments, and a chalkboard to give up-to-the-min-ute election returns, will be held in the student lounge beginning at 7, Trovet President Bob Hall-berg said yesterday.
Vote tabulations from the Senate chambers will be brought down periodically to keep dancers up on the latest calculations, Hallberg explained.
Sponsored by Trovets, Independent Women’s council, and Owls, the dance is open to all students.
“Groups having parties tomorrow night are invited to drop in at the dance and check the election returns before their parties start,” said Hallberg.
In charge of the dance are Alice Minikel, decoration chairman; Renee Cefalu, program chairman; Shirley Merriang, AWS dance chairman; and Carlos Martinez, Trovet dance chairman.

on the recognition that the consumer wants to be flattered and always right. A company which has had to produce an inferior product at one time almost openly has to admit that this is the case.”
Rebuilding the personality of tea by inviting people to “take tea and see” increased sales more than 25 per cent, Dr. Dichter said. Psychologically, • the consumers were made to take off their dark glasses and reach for a cup of tea.
Secure Organization
“Facts do not help remove prejudices,” he warned the audience. “A prejudiced person has arrived at a secure organization and classification of things and people in the world—a world of good and bad people, good and bad cigarettes, good and bad cars.
“What you are really doing when you present him with additional facts about a product, is asking him to give up his system of security, a neatly organized and arranged world, for an unsafe, insecure, and different world.
Resist Attempts
“You are asking him to destroy a crutch, to recognize that his world has been the wrong one and that he has to adjust himself to a new world, His normal reaction, and this is true of any kind of prejudice, is to resist any such atempts.”
William G. Werner, president of the PRSA and director of public relations and consumer information for Proctor and Gamble, complemented Dr. Dichter’s speech by saying, “A competent public relations man should be not just the creator of publicity material, but an adviser, suggest-er, and coordinator of all the steps an organization takes to increase its public understanding ad esteem.
Two hundred businessmen attended the conference which was co-sponsored by the Public Relations Society of America, the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, and SC.
Rain Fails to Halt Turnout of Voters
by Charlie Barnett
In spite of gloomy weather and a few showers, 894 students cast their ballots yesterday in the first day of the ASSC general election. Voting will continue today at Alumni park from 9:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. If rain prevents holding the balloting in the park, the election will be moved to the basement o f the Commons building where the blood drive and pre-registration were held.
The election will end at 3:30
p.m. Friday and the tedious job of counting the votes for more than 100 candidates and three constitutional amendments will begin at 5 p.m. Results are expected to be available sometime Saturday morning.
Yesterday’s first-day turnout of 894 was 43 per cent better than last year’s first-day total of 625. In 1951, 1250 students voted in first-day balloting.
Last year’s total vote was 2637. A total of 3617 students voted in 1951.
Based on ballots cast for Independent representatives, the independent vote yesterday was 262.
This means that about 22 per cent of the Row students cast their ballots the first day, while about 4 per cent of the independent voters at SC showed up at the polls yesterday.
Bain Stops Balloting
Rain stopped the balloting for short periods twice during the afternoon, but only a few minutes of voting time were lost during showers.
Elections Commissioner Jim Lucostic reminded parties and candidates of their obligation to send election workers to the polls.

Job opportunities in the fields religion and medicine will be ssed today at 3:15 p.m. as fourth program in the LAS jjgsional advisement series is ’ven-
pari Cranston, dean. School of igion, will speak on “Careers Religion” in 226 FH, while Dr. on Goodhart, associate pro-r of medicine, will speak on sic medical careers in 229 FH.
A Wide Field That careers in religion include re than those paid for out of je church budget will be the in theme of Dr. Cranston’s ch.
He will explain how jobs in lism, radio broadcasting, unseling, social work, and vari-
s tjpes of teaching are closely integrated with the study of reion.
I
Ways in which students can prepare for preaching, ministry, and pastorship also will be explained.
The School of Religion is a graduate school giving one to four years of graduate training for a secondary degree for competency in other «fields.
Undergraduates are advised to major in humanities or social science, taking at least six academic hours of work in religion in their junior or senior year, Dr. Cranston said.
Medical Careers
In his speech, Dr. Goodhart will explain what he believes to be the basic medical careers. He also will tell prospective job seekers how they should go about finding jobs that are open and will be open in the future.
First of the basic careers, Dr.
Goodhart feels, is that of the specialist, such as the oculist or pediatrician. Few people realize, he believes, that the specialization normally is separate and distinct from that of general practice.
.Small Tovn Doctor Another related but separate category, said Dr. Goodhart, is the one filled by the doctor who practices in small communities.
Research is the third basic career in medical work. Many organizations, he explained, underwrite research by fellowships for promising students to continue their study. Examples of this are the Giannini foundation, the Commonwealth fund, and the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis Research.
“In education there are three types of teaching jobs open—those in medical and post-graduate
medical schools and those in the 'extension plan,” said the doctor about education careers in medicine.
New Methods, Drugs
Under the extension plan, he said, practicing physicians are kept up to date with the new drugs, methods, and other developments through the efforts of the medical school.
Also open to medical graduates, he elaborated, are careers with the United States government. These include positions with the Public Health service or the armed forces, and state and local health departments.
“County and city health officers who attempt to prevent the spread of disease and try to maintain sanitary living conditions are excellent examples of the men who fill this category,” he said.
Official
Notice
Waiver tests for P.E. 101 and 102 to be held on May 11 from 3 to 5 p.m. Please see Dr. Downey personally on Monday for registration.

Albert F. Zech Counselor of Men
“Each party must have four workers on duty during the entire time the polls are open,” Lucostic said. Each candidate for a major office must send one worker in addition to the party workers, he added.
Four workers from each party and one representing each candidate for major office will be required to help with the ballot counting, Lucostic said.
Aids in Supervision
Chuck McClure was appointed to the elections commission by Lucostic yesterday to aid in the supervision of the balloting.

Draft Exempt Test Deadline Set at May 11
Application deadline for the final Selective Service college qualification test to be given this school year is midnight, May 11.
The test, May 21, is primarily for those students who missed the Apr. 23 test due to illness or other emergencies. Any student may take the May 21 test, however, according to Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, director of Selective Service.
General Hershey also said that students who have a certificate of admission for the Apr. 23 test which they failed to use must submit new applications if they wish to take the May 21 test.
The three requirements for eligibility to take the test are that the student be a Selective Service registrant who is requesting deferment as a student, that the student be satisfactorily pursuing a full-time college course, graduate or undergraduate, leading to a degree, and that he previously has not taken the test.
Students desiring consideration for a deferment must have a score of 70 or better on the test or scholastically, stand among the male members in the upperhalf of the freshman class, upper two-thirds of the sophomore class, or upper three-fourths of the junior class. •
Seniors accepted for admission to a graduate school satisfy the criteria if they are among the upper half of the male members of their senior class or if they make a score of 75 or better on the qualification test.
Applications may be obtained from any Selective Service board and should be filled out and submitted to the Educational Testing Service, Princeton, New Jersey.

A small crowd of Squires, Knights, and university administrators watched the proceedings. Coach Jess Hill assisted Willhoite while Counselor of Men Albert F. Zech aided Sears as the All-Americans balanced themselves in the squares.
Counsellor of Women Mrs. Ed-warda White, and Dr. Robert F. Craig, professor of general business, were present during the rally.
As one of the traditions they are to foster, Trojan Squires and Knights sponsored the rally. Bob Ihrig, Squires project chairman, made the arrangements with the local clothing store for preserving Sears’ and Willhoite’s football shoe-prints. Bob Hillenbrand, Knight representative, assisted Ihrig in scheduling the event.
Phelps-Terkel provided bronzt name plates for the squares. When the project is completed, the cement sqquares will be colored cardinal and gold, the colors alternating between the 22 sections.
Included in the gallery are the track shoe-prints of Mel Patton and the new-prints of Georgb Tirebiter I.

Examples of this are the Giannini foundation, the Commonwealth fund, and the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis Research. “In education there are three types of teaching jobs open—those in medical and post-graduate medical schools and those in the 'extension plan,” said the doctor about education careers in medicine. New Methods, Drugs Under the extension plan, he said, practicing physicians are kept up to date with the new drugs, methods, and other developments through the efforts of the medical school. Also open to medical graduates, he elaborated, are careers with the United States government. These include positions with the Public Health service or the armed forces, and state and local health departments. “County and city health officers who attempt to prevent the spread of disease and try to maintain sanitary living conditions are excellent examples of the men who fill this category,” he said.

Draft Exempt Test Deadline Set at May 11 Application deadline for the final Selective Service college qualification test to be given this school year is midnight, May 11. The test, May 21, is primarily for those students who missed the Apr. 23 test due to illness or other emergencies. Any student may take the May 21 test, however, according to Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, director of Selective Service. General Hershey also said that students who have a certificate of admission for the Apr. 23 test which they failed to use must submit new applications if they wish to take the May 21 test. The three requirements for eligibility to take the test are that the student be a Selective Service registrant who is requesting deferment as a student, that the student be satisfactorily pursuing a full-time college course, graduate or undergraduate, leading to a degree, and that he previously has not taken the test. Students desiring consideration for a deferment must have a score of 70 or better on the test or scholastically, stand among the male members in the upperhalf of the freshman class, upper two-thirds of the sophomore class, or upper three-fourths of the junior class. • Seniors accepted for admission to a graduate school satisfy the criteria if they are among the upper half of the male members of their senior class or if they make a score of 75 or better on the qualification test.
