The book presents an analysis of the life and occupational carreers of drop-out students who left the University before graduation and thereby it deals with main-line problems of student selection both in the course of studies and in the case of dropping out. The studied category is a product of the internal selection which takes place at the University and which i3 referred to as "waste" or "offal". The population under study conisted of students of industial economy at the University of Łódź who dropped-out before graduation in all years of studies (i.e. from the 1st to 5th year) in the course of seven consecutive accademic years (1969/70 to 1975/76). The basic research material consisted of interviews obtained from 258 persons. The main objective of the study was to categorize the material. A comparison of the needs and aspirations connected with university education from the period- of studies and the period after leaving the University yielded the following typology comprising 4 categories; 1. Those whose ungratified’needs and aspirations did not change but became a source of frustration and dissatisfaction with their present situation; 2. Those whose needs and aspirations dwindled and who adapted to the situation (resignation). 3. Those whose needs and aspirations connected with university education were so strong that they had to be realized in the form of part time or extramural studies or by challenging once more the selectional barrier; 4. Those whose aspirations underwent some modification in the course of adaptation to the new situation (eg. those whose theoretical angle changed to a more practical, occupational bias).

The paper discusses views, opinions and political attitudes of a group of young people comprising 380 graduates of secondary and technical schools and 300 students of different departments of the University of Łódź. The analysis of the socialist system perception is based on the results of research conducted systematically in the years 1985-1986. To elucidate theses which place the opinions of the group in question within a broader social framework we make use of data gathered by the Centre for Public Opinion Research and representative of the total adult population of Poland. From the produced outline of political attitudes of the youth the following regularities seem to emerge: 1. The existence of substantial number of opponents of the socialist path of development. 40 per cent of informants expressed their unfavourable attitude towards socialism and lack of confidence in its possibilities and prospects. 37 per cent of students and 36 per cent of pupils acknowledged capitalist system to be better for Poland (in technical schools there were 28 per cent of supporters of the capitalist system while in scondary schools 45 per cent; 2. Lack of trust of the youth in all political powers of the country. A vast majority of the young put their trust neither in the government and PUWP nor in the opposition. 50 per cent of informants claimed they did not trust political opposition related to K0R (Committee for Defence of Workers) and Solidarity.However Polish United Workers' Party (PUWP) was the object of the most bitter criticism and only every tenth student recognized the leading role of the Party in all aspects of social life. 3. Political views of pupils and students do not depend on their social background. No clear-cut relationship between political and religious attitudes was established, however, the type of school attended by the youth seems to be -an importa/it discriminating factor. Among, those who are dissatisfied with the implementation of the basic ideas of socialism (want restauration ot capitalism and means of production in private hands) are secondary schools pupils and then students. 4 Age is a very important determinant of political attitudes. Kesults of numerous research on various subjects confirm the observation that, compared with the old, the young generation is more critical and pessimistic about their prospects and the chances of overcoming the political and economic crisis.

The article presents results of analyses on the peroentage level of drop-outs among students in the faoulty of Production Economics at the University of Łódź. It contains a socio-demographic characteristics of the eoclal category created as a result of these phenomena. The aggre^tion in question is represented by students, who left the faculty of Production Economics in the course of all years of academic studies (i. e. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th ) over the six consecutive academic years from <1969/1970 to 1975/1976. Studies performed by the author show that the average percentage figure of students obtaining the certificate of completed Btudies in the faculty in question reaches about 70 per cent, and thus losses due to iropping(-out amount to 30 per cent for particular years_. From among 70 per cent of students obtaining the certificate of completed studies on the average about 6 per cent do not seat for the master's exam. This produces a decrease of the index of aggregate effectiveness of studies for the faculty of Production Economics to the level of 64 per cent. Further conclusions from the analysis look as follows: 1. Process of dropping-out in the faculty of Production Economics is not enenly spread both with reference to particular years of studyind (it is highest in the case of the first year students)and particular academic years. 2, As a result of more frequent cases of dropping-out among men grows feminization, of studies, 3. Social origins exert a strong influence on the process of leaving the University before graduation with the wei$)t of this factor depending on sex as an intermediate variable. 4. High level of dropping-out 'among men of working-class origin is conditioned, to a large extent, by the type of completed secondary school. Analyses presented in the article are based on materials and documenta provided by the Dean's Office of the Department of Economics and Sociology, University of Lódź . Their processing constitutes the first stage of studies on the process of dropping-out of students. The second stage of studies will encompass interviews with young people filing to complete their academic courses, and concerning their further life and professional careers. The objective of the second stage will be, among others, to determine the strength of needs and desires of the young people under survey as connected with obtaining of the academic education.

Artykuł podejmuje problem charakteru więzi tworzonych w szkole z punktu widzenia jej zadań wychowawczych i dydaktycznych. Szkoła stanowiąca obok domu - wspólnoty najważniejszą instytucję socjalizującą musi spełniać określane warunki, aby proces (socjalizacji) wychowania był zgodny z założonymi oczekiwaniami. Perspektywa historyczno-socjologiczna zastosowana w artykule pozwala postawić tezę, że warunkiem tyra jest m.in. wspólnotowy charakter więzi funkcjonujących w szkole. Tymczasem szkoła współczesna przybiera coraz bardziej charakter zrzeszenia co ogranicza możliwość wypełniania zadań wychowawczych, a także dydaktycznych przez tę instytucję. Więzi występujące w szkole współczesnej mają w większości charakter rzeczowy a nauczyciele i uczniowie tworzą dość wyraźnie oddzielone zbiorowości połączone wewnętrznymi, rzadko krzyżującymi się więziami pozytywnymi, w rezultacie szkoła współczesna nie wyzwala pozytywnej, emocjonalnej motywacji do uczestnictwa w nie jr coraz bardziej ogranicza sferę autentyczności i spontaniczności zachowań, ograniczając również sferę potrzeb, które mogą być w jej ramach zaspokajane. Z tego punktu widzenia niezbędnym wydaje się przynajmniej częściowe odformalizowanie szkoły. Konsekwencją takich zmian strukturalnych byłoby poszerzenie ról nauczycielskich o funkcje wychowawcze i wzrost poczucia podmiotowości u uczniów.

The article provides a sociological characteristic of teachers from the viewpoint of features placing this category in a wider social structure. The analysis encompasses also the degree of internal coherence of this category. It is but a fragment of more extensive analyses concerning the place of teachers in the society's macrostructure. The study reveals that teachers represent a socio-professional category, which is characterized with a specific structure of social features typical for the inteligentsia and here mainly in the area of the level of educational background and cultural consumption and, to a smaller extent, in the area of performed managerial functions (absence of expanded formal hierarchic structure in the education system) and income levels. They represent the most numerous professional category among the intelligentsia (not counting technicians). According to the estimates of the teachers themselves their social position is closest to that of civil officers, and it is estimated to be each lower than that of doctors, lawyers, and engineers. And oven though the teachers do not constitute an internally fully homogeneous category - the educational background proved to be a main dimension of differentiation - they display distinct features of a socio-professional group. This is confirmed among others by the observed strong tendency towards maintaining social and marital contacts within their own professional category, convergence of estimates as regards the socio-professional position held by them as well os observance of their own specific attitude to work or personality features. Summing it up the authors believe that teachers may constitute along with other professional categories a sociological unit of studies on the social structure.
