Sesame Street show not just child's play

But Bird, Oscar, Bert, Erme, and the rest of the Sesame Street gang are still around after 11 years, but the show is somewhat different these days.
Founders of Sesame Street and members of the Children's Television Workshop say Sesame Street is getting away from just teaching kids the number and the alphabet.
"At first our goals had to be easy to measure," Leona Schaab, a CTW researcher, said Friday. "As we got more trained and tried a few new things."
Although the ever-popular Sesame Street still teaches the 3 I Sats, its producers are much more concerned with social learning for children. Saubell said the show concentrated on segment that taught children cultural diversity and social goals such as "don't be a snake." The show also describes nutrition and problems of handicapped children, she said.
Much of the funding for CTW and Sesame Street depends on its work with the hand-draped and the retarded, according to John Wright, professor of psychology and director of the center for Research in the Influence of Television on Children.
Schaeuble and four other members of CTW's research staff, along with Edward Palmer, CTW vice president for research, and Lewis Bernstein, director of Sesame Center at RD Friday to discuss the special problems of educating handicapped children.
Every week, Sesame Street has a segment about handicapped children. Schiavari said must children watching Sesame Street had no clear attitude about handicapped
50 parking spaces to be blocked off
Beginning April 30 about 50 parking spaces in the Y-Zone parking lot will be blocked off so that construction can begin on Saturday. In service, service spokesman said yesterday.
The area will be blocked off for about two months, Bif Benfemaker, parking services leautenant, said. Those who use the parking lot will have to find new parking spaces.
children, although they could notice that some children could not do some things as well as or last as others.
Schaubel said it was more difficult to measure what children gained from these social learning segments than it was to measure child's learning of the alphabet or numbers.
"In fact it is getting difficult to measure many things because it is getting impossible to find control children who haven't seen the teacher." It makes measuring, learning difficult.
ACCORDING TO WRIGHT, much of the success of Seascape Street could be attributed to the mentorship of writers and writers to work together with non-elevation people such as psychologists and people as psychologists.
"Television writers are not fond of statistics, charts and graphs." Shadle said. You can I just say that 32 percent of the women watch I watch, at a certain time."
The researchers have to take technical, psychological and learning terms and make them understandable for the television writer.
Sbusable叫 Sesame Street an unyss marriage of entertainment and education in the classroom. Researchers are to work with writers and producers to convey the necessary messages.
It then is the job of the writer to take all the research and social learning goals and make them entertaining for the children.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Police Beat
Three KU students were treated at Lawrence Memorial Hospital Friday night, after the car in which they were riding crashed into a few lawless rules of Lawrence on U. 40.
Mark Pittman, Shawne junior, and Vicky Holoman, Olathe sophorem, spent Friday night in Lawrence Memorial Hospital under observation. Each received a concession package. Kevin Milla, Edwardville junior was treated Friday night.
According to police reports, Pittman was trying to pass a vehicle on the two-lane highway and did not see the westbound car driven by Katherine Kinderknecht, who had collided with the collision. Pittman was cited for failure to obtain proper clearance while passing.
Kinderknecht and a passenger in her car, Leesa Williams, 15, Topeka, were treated at a Topea hospital for minor injuries, police said.
In a separate incident, two other KU students were injured when two cars collided at 10th and 11th late Saturday in Chicago. A KU student, Oka, freshman, was treated and released at Lawrence Memorial. Edward Sandridge, a KU student, was treated and released for injuries after the crash.

Police said the accident occurred when a driver signaled to Sandridge and out from a stop sign in an intersection, was coming down Indiana. Tanner was cited for careless driving, and Sandridge was cited for running a red light.
New special undergraduate major teaches how to deal with conflict
A new interdisciplinary program, "Conflict Regulation and Management," will be available to students as an uncommon elective. She is the Maer, professor of sociology, said yesterday.
Bauer said the Committee on Undergraduate Studies and Advising had encouraged him to list the program as a concentration.
The program includes courses in speech, psychology, political science, philosophy and business labor relations. It trains people to deal with conflicts between organizations and students. It also teaches courses such as flood control plans or where to locate a nuclear power plant, he said.
"It is focused more generally on community and group conflicts than collective bargaining agreements," he said. "It
between the studies of industrial and interpersonal conflicts."
Currently, students who are interested in the program can take it as a special major, an elective or a minor. Students in Liberal Arts and Sciences and recruit a committee of five faculty members as
The program needs the administration's approval. Bauer said he hoped to present it to the Board of Regents at its November meeting.
"It's a good second major for anyone planning a career in management or administration because they constantly confront problems." Bauer said.
He said he developed the program, because he had been teaching in the field for a long time and had heard of similar programs at other schools.
Residents organizing credit union
Residents of Lawrence's older neighborhoods are trying to organize a credit union to create funds for restoration of their neighborhoods.
After six months of organization, the group might try to establish itself through an existing credit union. Community members can contribute to the group's organizers, said yesterday.
"The sponsoring club that we have gotten together might be dissolving because we've got enough of it," she said. "It's a bad time for us because we have really discussed this with all our guests."
the money needed for a charter from the state. The club's goal was 300 members, but only 60 people have joined in the last six months, Miller said.
Milner said that the group was seeking a geographically-based union, but that Community Mercantile was an associational credit union.
THE SPONSORING club was seeking membership pledes of $5 or more to raise
Credit unions can be formed by associations, groups of employees, or residents in a geographical location. The Community Mercantile credit union, 1010* Massachusetts St., was formed by a food bank and has 68 members. It has approximately 68 members.
Miller said, to serve the entire community.
Community Mercantile may change its base from associational to geographic.
"We talked to the state credit union people and they said that changing a base was a lot more difficult than it looks." They also told us that there was no other community-based credit union in the area.
THE CREDIT union would serve the neighborhoods of East Lawrence, West Lawrence, Pinckney, North Lawrence, Oread, and Far East Lawrence.
Funds generated from the credit union would be put back into the neighborhoods mostly through home improvement loans, Miller said.
Most of the business carried on by the credit union would be done by volunteers.
