Clinic offers speech, hearing aid
Staff Writer
By DEBBIE RIECHMANN
A student who says "thun" for "sun" or who has only partial hearing, is among the many persons who can seek help at the University of Kansas Speech and Hearing Center.
Besides students, the clinic also helps children and adults who have speech or hearing problems.
The clinic, in 209 Hawthor Hall, is staffed by faculty members who have been certified by the American Speech and Hearing Association. They serve as supervisors for student clinicians who are working for degrees in either speech pathology or psychology.
Juli Cobb, El Paso, Texas, senior, who works as a student clinician, said many children had speech problems, such as saying "h" for "t."
"Say the child is saying 'hank' for 'tank,' she said, "You've got to get the teeth together, the tongue placement right and try to get the child to say that sound."
ACCORDING TO LORraine Michel, director of the clinic, other speech problems include the misuse of pronouns, such as "him go to the store," or incorrect pronunciation such as "wowipop" instead of "tollipop."
A person might be making a slushy "s" sound or stuttering. Also, there are different voice disorders, for example, "breathy" in a soft voice, or speaking through the nose.
Another speech problem that children sometimes encounter is developing a structure.
"They are talking in one or two word utterances like 'me milk,' when they're five years old."
She also said people attempting to
speak speech problems need different
kinds of relief.
Some people need more help than a therapist just saying something is right or wrong. For children, a buzzer often is used when they them they have said something wrong.
For example, she said, after working for 10 minutes, the child could get up and play in her room.
there also are other methods that the clinicians use to make each session suc-
"THEY DON'T WANT to hear that buzer, but they really want about what the teacher says."
Progress, however, can be slowed depending on the amount of time the therapists spend helping their clients correct problems. Cobb said she spent about 2.5 hours a week in therapy with her two clients.
MIRRORS ALSO can be useful, she said. If a child holds a mirror in front of his mouth while saying the "h" sound, he can see the reflection and understand what he must do to say it right.
For children, there are puzzles, blocks,
small plastic animals, musical instruments
and picture cards, all used to get them to
say something on their own.
Parents also can be incorporated into the sessions to help encourage progress.
"If the child can't sit down for a half hour or 45 minutes, right there you're in trouble," she said. "You might have to structure in some play activities."
She said words should be pronounced correctly at home, where the child spends most of his time.
Officials propose merger of drug, alcohol groups
"If there was a merger, one group would have to change its status."
The idea of a merger was first proposed by Lisa Erickson, former coordinator of the CISPA board.
"The drug abuse counsel is a county-run organization," he said, "and the alcohol agency."
Officials of the Douglas County Drug Abuse Council and the Douglas County Citizen's Committee on Atobolism last month announced that the combination be combined but cited possible problems.
John Weatherwax, alcohol committee board member, said that the only problem with a merger would be a legal one concerning the way the two groups were structured.
Bruce Beale, director of the alcohol committee, said that the education and research programs of the two services both would be enhanced by a merger.
"our efforts to locate funding would be easier and would show greater benefits for both the alcohol and drug committees," he said.
Drug abuse and alcohol abuse are no longer distinct and separate problems, Sam Adame, acting chairman of the drug abuse council, said.
"What we have is a poly-drug problem, involving the simultaneous abuse of both alcohol and drugs," he said. "A merger of the programs seems logical."
The officials agreed to present the prospects and problems of an affiliation to Mr. Zuckerman.
Robert Neis, county commissioner and member of the drug abuse council, was not arrested.
"If the county commissioners were interested in our problems Neils would be helped."

Working directly with persons who have speech problems is different from learning about it in books. Cobb said. She added that she can see how course work applied in practice.

According to Larry Marston, professor of audiology, the department treats children and adults who are classified as 'hard of hearing' rather than those with total hearing loss.
Anyone is eligible for a test, he said. KU students can get a hearing test done for half price, about $7.50, and nonstudents can use the services of the clinic on a sliding fee scale that is determined by the person's ability to pay.
The KU Speech and Hearing Clinic also provides special services for those who stutter. There is a stuttering clinic at 7 p.m. every Wednesday, where general problems with stuttering are discussed, then student clinicians work on individual problems.
The audiology department does all hearing tests at the clinic. If the client's problem has affected his speech, he is referred to an audiologist, where he can receive therapy.
Sudlow, University of Kansas professor of painting, is a nationally famous landscape
At age 57, Robert Sudiron is just hitting his stride. He is in his prime.

"When you start painting, you are lonely." Sidwell said. "You think you are
After graduation, he traveled to San Francisco and later received his master's degree from the California College of Arts and Crafts.
He then served a tour of duty in the U.S. Navy.
"It has taken me years not to feel self-
confident, in medium. I finally feel
confident with oils."
"Perhaps that's why I don't do seascape," he said.
Sudlow was born and raised in Holton, Kan., and received an art degree from the Art Department.
Sudlow is organizing a show that will contain 30 of his paintings. It opens today in the Brisbane gallery on Saturday.
"Kansas is a very good place to paint," Sullda say. "I like to paint where it is not too obviously picturesque or beautiful, but I do enjoy the seasonal changes are very stimulating."
He said he does most of his painting within 13 miles of Lawrence.
"I like to paint the transitory things in nature — clouds, fugitive light effects, morning, evening, change in weather," he said. "My best work is done on location."
His oil and watercolor paintings have been exhibited in such places as the Nelson Art Gallery in Kansas, the American Landscape Painting Travel Exhibition, the Mulvane Art Museum in Topeka and the U.S. Senate Offices in Washington.
He was honored as the first Kansas Governor's Artist in 1975.
Sudlow is a handsome man with a tanned, lively countenance that belies his years. He looks like an outdoorsman who has spent his life doing what he loves.
Two weeks ago, during the Octoberfest celebration at the State House in Topeka, one of his works was named the best regional region in the Kansas Invitational Show.
In 1962, Lloyd studied in Paris, then returned to Kansas to join the faculty at KU. "KU's a good place to work," he said. "I have a lot of time for my own work."
"Within the past few years, I have been selling more paintings," he said smiling. "I would still paint even if I wasn't. Personal satisfaction is the chief thing."
Sudow was an illustrator for his high school paper but was interested in science. He took classes at the University department when he came to KU. He took a few art classes and quickly was hooked.
"The more I paint the more I become convinced that the greatest mysteries lie in the common light of day — a weed patch, the small plant that is polluted but still living earth," Sidlow said.
