Split-Level House
Declared Popular
In America Today
Demand for a family recrea
tion room has made the split
level house one of the most popu
lar styles in America today. The
Construction Research Bureau
reports that a national poll of
more than 300,000 families plan
ning new homes shows the split
level house as popular as the
ranch style.
"In many communities," the
bureau says, "this compromise
between the one-story and the
two-story dwelling outsells all
other houses, It is a house that
can be built on less land than
a rambling ranch house. It usual
ly involves less stair climbing
than a two-story. And builders
contend that it virtually in
cludes a 'free room' the recrea
tion room.
"A typical split-level plan has
a recreation room or multi-purpose
room behind the garage on
the first level. With the bed
rooms over this level, and the
living-kitchen area at one side,
the recreation room and garage
are enclosed in the house with
out requiring extra roofing or
more foundation.
"With the recreation room on
ground level and not in a base
ment, glamorous possibilities are
offered. Sliding glass panels can
open onto a garden patio. Large
windows can flood the room with
sunlight. A centrally located
chimney may permit the inclu
sion of an indoor barbecue fire
place. The floor can be covered
with colorful resilient tile, even
though the concrete is in con
tact with the ground.
The popularity of the home
recreation room has been vari
ously attributed to television,
home movies, hi-fi, traffic con
gestion and the increasing need
to prevent juvenile delinquency.
Difficult Topics
Most difficult topics to discuss
with parents, the students said,
were marriage, petting and sex.
Topics that gave fewest young
people trouble in "family talks"
were jobs, car expenses and use,
friends, 'and social behavior.
Reasons for the breakdown in
communication point up some of
the inner conflicts felt by young
people, Dubbe noted. Despite the
fact that students indicated they
considered the talks important
and desirable, the big reasons
cited by them for the lack of
discussion were "self-reliance"
and "no need." The students
hesitated to talk because they
felt they ought to be "old
enough" to decide such things
for themselves, Dubbe explain
ed. Recognition on the part of
parents that the "desire for in
dependence" is coupled with the
"need for help" is important in
building good parent-child rela
tionships, Dubbe believe. Par
ents are expected to take the
first step in bringing up prob
lems facing their children, he
writes, because parents are
judged to be older and wiser.
Conservatism of the parents
that is, an old-fashioned at
titude opposed to modern ideas
and ways ranked high also
and so did fear of scolding or
fear of punishment. "No time"
for talk was one of the most im
portant sources of difficulty for
the girls, especially in contacts
with their fathers.
Age difference was among the
least important obstacles where
the girls were concerned but it
did carry some weight with the
boys. Vocabulary, the study
showed, is not a major stumb
ling block. The young people
believed they had the necessary
words with which to express
themselves.
To prevent difficulties in parent-child
communication, Dubbe
suggests that parents begin early
in the child's life to encourage
discussions of problems. Make
time for relationships to take
root and grow, he says, and
strive to understand the needs
and problems of children, Above
all, "listen to them," he em
phasizes. 4
