The goal of this paper was to examine the relation between teachers and students and between students on societal involvement in Dutch secondary schools. As such, we studied the role of parents on adolescents' societal involvement and to what extent positive teacher-student and student-student relationships reduced differences in societal involvement due to parental background differences. To estimate this cross-sectional multilevel analyses, a rich combination of datasets from the Netherlands was used, encompassing 4,128 15-year-old students in 58 schools in 2010/2011. The results showed that teacher-student relations and student-student relations were positively associated with societal involvement. The level of societal involvement differed between students' from households with lower incomes, level of education and employment, even though parenting styles seemed unrelated to societal involvement. Students from higher educated parents were found to benefit more from these positive relationships with teachers. This advantage arguably amplifies the differences in societal involvement between students with lower and higher educated parents. Future studies can give further insight into the role of classroom interrelations using additional longitudinal data or focus on more qualitative observations to explore the role of classroom interrelations and their influence on developing societal involvement.

Illegal immigration is a salient topic for policy makers and for local units of government who are responsible for implementing policies. One particularly relevant policy topic is to what extent undocumented students affect performance in public schools, and if undocumented students do have an impact on performance, what can be done about it? Using Texas as a case study, this analysis finds that, surprisingly, undocumented students have only a marginal effect on the overall performance on standardized exams. Among Latinos, however, there is a statistically negative effect. Furthermore, evidence suggests that managerial skills can mitigate those negative effects. Adapted from the source document.

The r between varying degrees of student success & 2 diff types of student characteristics was investigated: (1) background (age at matriculation, sex, father's occup, father's educ'al attainment, mother's educ'al attainment, hometown size, & HSch grade point average); & (2) academic orientation. The relationship between student success & certain types of reference group support was also studied but results are reported elsewhere (W. T. Gustavus, "Successful Students and Dropouts: An Investigation into Reference Group Support and Student Attrition," unpublished paper read at the annual meetings of the Southwestern Sociol'al Society [see SA E8035/SWSA/1971/0104]). 3 diff groups of students were studied: dropouts (N=122), readmitted students (N=186), & successful students (N=234). Very few diff's emerged among the 3 groups re background characteristics. Only father's educ'al attainment was found to be signif'ly related to degree of success: the fathers of readmitted students & dropouts had higher educ'al attainments than the fathers of successful students. When the 3 groups were compared as freshmen & sophomores, the readmitted & successful students were generally more academically motivated & vocationally committed than the dropouts. When the same groups were compared as juniors & seniors, the same trend was found, with the readmitted students being even more motivated & committed than their younger counterparts. By controlling for yr in Coll, it was possible to elaborate what otherwise would have amounted to another traditional comparison between total success or total failure & obtain a more realistic picture. Further res on attrition with the sample of readmitted students is suggested. 3 Tables. M. Maxfield.

Collegiate recreation student employment opportunities are found in such areas as facilities, intramurals, aquatics, fitness, and outdoor adventure. Recreation is one of the largest providers of student employment opportunities on campuses across the country with an important role in student employee leadership development.

For some years now Spanish university students have been drawing attention to themselves by their political activity in a regime in which political activity is not legal. The conflict has since 1962 taken the form of a demand by the students to set up an autonomous Students Union in the place of the officially sponsored SEU (Sindicato Espaiiol Universitario). A new wave of student disturbances occurred in the winter of 1965, sparked off by the exclusion of a student who had attended a meeting of students who refused to join in the activities of the official union in January 1965. The students throughout the country began to demand autonomy, both for the rectors of the universities and for the students' union, and supported demands by workers on 27 January who were also demonstrating in favour of free trade unions. On 6 February demonstrations took place again in Madrid and Barcelona, and a number of arrests were made. Further demonstrations of students against the obligatory SEU took place on 12 February in both cities. A number of students were beaten-up and arrested in Madrid; in Barcelona 1000 students met in the Faculty of Law, with the permission of the dean. Faculties in Bilbao and Madrid were closed for a while by the authorities, but the students continued to hold unofficial assemblies at which they demanded 'free unions', and refused to cooperate with representatives of the official union. On 19 February some 2000 students in Madrid demonstrated in favour of university autonomy, and carried on with their protest for three days.
