1. Shell home boom cools off.

Subjects
LOW-income housing, HOUSING market, ECONOMIC competition
Abstract

The article focuses on the decline in the growth of the shell home industry in the U.S. due to excessive competition, limited markets and a shortage of financing. The sector was dominated by Jim Walter Corp. of Tampa, Florida in 1960 by building and selling some 14,000 units. Shell homes were priced in the 1,000 U.S. dollars to 3,500 U.S. dollar range. The launch of low-income homes by Certain-teed Products Corp. provided competition to shell homes.

2. A Miniature of Reality: The Behavior Laboratory.

Author

Dutton, Richard E.

Subjects
LABORATORIES, CURRICULUM, UNIVERSITIES & colleges, MANAGEMENT education, HUMAN behavior, BEHAVIORAL research
Abstract

The behavior laboratory is an approximation of Reality. It is contrived and semi-structured, and thus is reality, and not Reality. The time-frame is short, but it need not be if more courses dealt with the subject matter in this experiential fashion. Outside readings are used, and content examinations are given in an effort to tie content and laboratory experience together. This paper does not deal with the content material since that is the usual stress of college and other courses. The basic advantage of the Laboratory approach is that participants can experience -- can "live through" the phenomena that heretofore they have only read about or discussed in an intellectual fashion. The opportunity to get rapid feedback on one's behavior is rare and valuable for the participants. It should be almost entirely non-evaluative in terms of "good" or "bad" behavior -- concentrating instead on the issue of effective functioning and goal orientation. Students, especially at the undergraduate level, seem to have a difficult time accepting the different format and goals of the behavior laboratory. A few complete the course without ever seeming to become involved in the process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

5. Tampa's Reign of Terror.

Author

Brenner, Anita

Subjects
LABOR, MANUFACTURING industries, CIGAR makers
Abstract

The article presents information on labor problems and administrative violence in Tampa. From 10,000 to 15,000 persons work in the cigar factories. They earn very less, which makes this one of the lowest-paid manufacturing industries in the United States. Workers must serve a two-year apprenticeship and then take half pay for six or eight months. About half of them know little or no English and therefore get little more than local news in translation and a great deal of news from which means that they share in the politics and the mass-feeling of the country of their origin.

Steinman has emphasized that man must breed and nurture a robust vigor to resist the vicious assertion that a state is an autocratic entity with supreme rights. People must cling to honor, to moral courage and humanitarian ideas, and defend them, for these are the things that Godless adversary would destroy. The outstanding lesson of the present crisis of human race is that man must learn humility, reverence and spiritual faith.
