CONFERENCES & conventions ,ASSOCIATIONS, institutions, etc. ,PSYCHOLOGICAL research ,MODERN philology ,ENGLISH literature - Abstract
The article focuses on several meetings of associations and institutions. The annual meeting of the American Psychological Association, held in New York City last week, in connection with the American Association for the Advancement of Science, has directed public attention again to the progress of psychological research. There was an exhibition of the newer methods employed and results achieved in the various laboratories throughout the United States. One of the largest and, from the point of view of general interest, most enjoyable meetings of the Modern Language Association was held this week at Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut. The character of the papers was even farther removed from the dry-as-dust productions on specialized philological subjects than were those of last year. Of the twenty-three papers, ten were in the field of English literature, and that mainly modern; and six might be roughly grouped under the head of the technique and criticism of literature in general.

This article provides information on the Speech Communication Association (SCA) Convention which will be held in New York City on November 8-11, 1973. The heart of the convention will be the programs developed by the divisions of the association. However, SCA will continue to have a variety of other types of programs in order to maximize the probability that the convention will be worthwhile for every member of the association. Each division will take full responsibility for planning five programs. In addition, each division may schedule a Latest Developments Program if studies are completed by scholars too late to meet regular deadlines and are submitted to the division vice-chairman by September 15, 1973. Individual members, interested groups and divisions are invited to submit short course proposals for review by the Short Course Selection Committee. Action Caucus is designed to provide groups the opportunity to work on projects of mutual interest within or across divisional lines, bringing the entire resources of the convention to bear on the solution of a problem or the production of a product. For programs of invited papers, the title of each paper and brief description of the probable content of each should be provided and tentative commitment from each of the potential participants should be indicated.

CONFERENCES & conventions ,FAMILY relations ,ASSOCIATIONS, institutions, etc. - Abstract
This article highlights the Annual Meeting of the National Council on Family Relations held in New York City in December 1949. Those who have come from all over the nation have learned much to take home and will need their train and plane rides to digest new ideas and to catch up on their sleep, as Evelyn Millis Duvall has prescribed. Before some leave, no doubt release of tension will come at the big blow off in Times Square as the old year is replaced by the new. But much more will be taken home and used than pleasant memories of a well planned, well organized, and well operated Conference. None will forget the 'quotable quotes' which have come from papers, conferences, committee meetings, and open houses. Muriel Brown gave attendees their very first at the general session on the beginning day. Earl Koos did not like the obvious gaps he tagged on the title of his talk on education and services for family living. Leona Baumgartner told attendees the impact of public health on her family had been terrific. She illustrated that its impact on all families was equally terrific, ranging from powder puffs to salad greens.

This article provides information on the Annual Meeting of Speech Association of America which will be held in the Statler Hilton Hotel in New York City on December 27-30, 1969. No special theme unifies the programs for 1969, but it is apparent that the planners still feel the force of last years Cultural Re-Orientation while they explore new and timely interests and fortify old, familiar pursuits. In the wake of the New Orleans Conference of last February, the growing place of behavioral studies in the scholarship and pedagogy of the Association appears in the extensive programs of the Behavioral Sciences Interest Group and such others. More and more is it evident in the programs of this convention that selecting papers competitively is increasing in popularity among the Interest Groups. Because of the Association's experience of recent years and of the well-known evening attractions of New York, the Convention Cabaret is omitted this year. Other special features include the Preview Theatre, sponsored by the Radio-TV-Film Interest Group and the Association, in which, mornings and afternoons of the three program days, members may drop in on showings of interesting special films.

The article studies the rate of membership participation in centralized union focusing on District 65 of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union in New York City. It shows that membership participation may even make it easier for leadership to exercise initiative and control. It also indicates that the collective bargaining and organizing environment of the labor union and the membership and employer characteristics arising from it strongly influence the relationship between participation and control. The correlates of participation include membership homogeneity, high social status and educational level and the meeting's function as an informal job market. The level of participation during meeting, voting in union elections and dues payment is high. Lastly, centralization makes it more harder to involve members in union affairs.

CONFERENCES & conventions ,ASSOCIATIONS, institutions, etc. ,ORAL communication - Abstract
This article presents excepts from a paper embodying the author's observations on the Speech Association of America (SAA) convention in New York City in December 1969. As I enter the Statler Hilton, I was immediately confronted by long lines of SAA people waiting to register. It was important that one knew people and that others knew that one knew people. Those who were sitting down were generally nobodies or older people. The in people were the ones who stood up and talked, generally in groups of lobby inhabitants, that large nebulous group which tried to appear in so they stood up and looked around. If they did talk, it was quite animated, somewhat overtone. It was interesting that as they conversed they seldom directly faced each other but were at angles so they could watch everything else simultaneously. At times the purpose seemed to be finding someone with whom to continue a conversation after the present one was concluded. Leaving the lobby, one had the option of going by escalator or elevator. Both, however, were more than just a means of transportation. The escalator was especially important as a surveying stance when one descended into the lobby. From there one could find the people he knew and go immediately to them.

This article presents the authors views on the American Newspaper Guild took which took an important and an inevitable step at its third annual convention in New York when by a vote of eighty-four to five it decided to apply for membership in the A. F. of L. as an international union. At the beginning of the guild movement the members were pretty generally opposed to asking for affiliation. There were always some who favored such a move, but they soon learned that it would be quite impossible to sweep the membership along by even the most eloquent and vigorous campaign of propaganda.
