An Exploratory Study Of Black And White College Students On The Hand Test, Marie Clark

Masters Theses

In the past Blacks have not been used in the construction or development of norms for psychological tests, though they are routinely administered to Blacks. Several researchers have made an effort to determine whether tests which have been standardized on White subjects are applicable to Blacks (Megargee, 1966; Johnson & Sikes, 1965; Mussen, 1953). These authors found that differences in personality of Blacks and Whites on personality tests should not be used to make inferences unless the two groups are matched on a number of prominent variables.

The Vanguard [Vol. 24, No. 3], Spring 1977, Lutheran Human Relations Association Of America

The Vanguard

This is the disturbing phrase that sticks in my mind from a late evening session of the annual meeting of the National Indian Lutheran Board (NILB) at Tempe, Arizona, February 25. These words came from NILB's director, Eugene Crawford, after we had heard first-hand reports from two young Indian men - Russell Peters of Massachusetts and Roger Gabriel of Maine.

Lutherans in the United States and Canada quickly voiced strong criticism of the Republic of South Africa's October 19 bannings and arrests of black leaders.

Several Lutheran leaders issued statements condemning the repressive actions (see page 2 for excerpts).

Multi-national corporations are finding out they can't count on the church's silence. And Christians have discovered an effective way to witness to justice and compassion.

The Lutheran Church in America, for example, joined with 15 other Protestant and Roman Catholic groups in filing stockholder resolutions with five major U.S. banks.

Forrest Gerard - the new assistant secretary for Indian Affairs in the Interior Department - has urged Indian leaders to call for the Carter Administration to issue a policy statement on Indian concerns.

Gerard, himself a Blackfoot Indian, made this suggestion in his speech to the recent National Congress of American Indians - the largest and oldest Indian organization.

"I'm disappointed the President didn't go further," said Dr. Robert Marshall, president of the Lutheran Church in America (LCA). He made the comment when questioned about President Carter's pardon of Vietnam draft evaders.

Dr. Marshall urged Carter to extend pardons to military deserters and to those given less than honorable discharges.

A 70-year old woman rode a bus from Seattle, Washington. ~ young family drove from Pensacola, Florida. They were joined by almost 300 others participating in the 1977 Human Relations Institute at Valparaiso University, July 29-31. The Institute theme of "Faithful Interdependence'' encouraged participants to explore Christian ministries in the pursuit of global justice.

Dr. Elizabeth Bettenhausen, Secretary for Social Concerns in the Lutheran Church in America, addressed the Institute at a Saturday evening dinner. Dr. Bettenhausen had just returned from the Lutheran World Federation Assembly in Tanzania, Africa.

The U.S. Government Accounting Office (GAO) has reported that almost 3500 American Indian women were sterilized without their proper consent between 1973 and 1976.

Senator James Abourezk, chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Indian Affairs, released the GAO's report. The subcommittee had requested the GAO study because Senator Abourezk had received many complaints that Indian women were being sterilized as a birth-control method without their knowledge or consent.

"We want to sensitize all our congregations, to help them recognize all aspects of cultural diversity."

That's the task of a newly created organization, Multi-Cultural Lutheran Education, as described by Dr. Marlin Schulz. Dr. Schulz has a long title to go with his job at Missouri Synod's Board of Parish Education. But his primary responsibility is to encourage and support the development of this new organization.

Race As A Moderator Variable In The Prediction Of Grade Point Average From Act Scores: Implications For Course Placement Guidelines, Robert Ungarean

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The problems focused on in this study are to determine (1) if racial differences exist when American College Testing Program (ACT) scores are used to predict Grade Point Average (GPA); (2) how placement decisions may be affected if differences do exist; (3) and what guidelines or recommendations can be formulated to avoid possible test bias and discrimination in placement procedures. Subjects consisted of the total population of 139 Black freshman students and a sample of 139 White freshman students entering a Southeastern regional university in the fall of 1970. Separate regression analyses were performed for Black, White and combined (total) …
