Educational council hears Whelan speak
The role of education in helping mentally disturbed children was discussed by Dr. Richard Whelan, assistant professor of education, at a meeting of the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) last night in the Kansas Union Meadowlark Room.
Whelan, who also is director of the Children's Rehabilitation Unit in Kansas City, said there are more than 15,000 school children between the ages of five and nineteen in Kansas who need some type of special help.
Emotional disturbance knows no age, social or economic boundary, he said. Mentally disturbed children are located in public classrooms throughout Kansas.
What is the difference between an emotionally disturbed child and the average child?
"All children misbehave at some
time." Whelan said, "but the severity and frequency of their misbehavior is the key factor."
Whelan said it is the teacher's responsibility to use the skills, techniques and procedures he has learned to correct this Behavior problem.
Emphasizing the importance of the teacher - child relationship, Whelan told special education students they must "get around the what the child is saying verbally, and get the message he is sending underneath."
In a business meeting before the speech, CEC members elected the following officers for the current year: Judie Fricson, Leavenworth senior, president; Cathy McCullagh, Independence junior, secretary; and Eeth Ballard, Shawnee Mission junior, treasurer.
Oswald film draws notice
COLORADO SPRINGS—(UPI)
—Producing a feature-length film which recreates the assassination of President Kennedy may take longer and cost more than planned.
"We knew this was an important picture, but we didn't realize that there would be so much interest," said Robert Larsen, head of a TV commercial filming concern in Colorado Springs.
Since news of the proposed film, "Countdown In Dallas," was released, producers have received mail from all over the world and have doubled their budget.
President Kennedy and other political figures who were present on the day of the assassination will not be portrayed in the movie.

JAYHAWK FOOD MART'S PLAYER OF THE WEEK PAT HUTCHENS
JACK WHITEHEAD
PAT HUTCHENS
BOB FLOYD
Pat Hutchens, 5-11, 171 pound defensive halfback is Jayhawk Food Mart's choice for player of the week. "We expected good performance from some of the more seasoned veterans," Jack Whitehead said. "But it's especially gratifying to see a player like Hutchens—just a sophomore—come through with the extra drive, that 110% performance that KU needs."
As an example of Hutchens' fine performance, Jack cites Pat's "above the call of duty" on end sweeps. "If the defensive end is taken out of the play, you can pretty well figure there's going to be a gain of 5 or 10, sometimes 15 yards," Jack said. "But Hutchens, with a keen sense of defensive responsibility, came up to nail the runner a number of times. He showed the ability to turn a situation like this into a defensive advantage at Stanford last Saturday."
The concern for KU sports isn't just a sideline with Bob Floyd and Jack Whitehead. They're interested in KU athletics and all other facets of KU life. It's this kind of concern and interest for KU and its students that makes JAYHAWK FOOD MART a good place to take your grocery list. You'll always get a smile—and concern for your grocery needs—at JAYHAWK FOOD MART. The prices are competitive and the shelves are loaded . . . so come in.
