Special Education Study Offered
By BARBARA SPURLOCK Kenson Staff Writer
Acceptance of mentally retarded children is much better than it was 15 years ago, Munro Shintani, coordinator of the University of Kansas mental rehabilitation program, said recently.
He said acceptance was due in part to the appeals for understanding of mental retard
dation that has been made by persons such as former President John F. Kennedy.
The mental retardation assessment offers graduate programs in children with learning disabilities and administration of
Shintani said a special type of student was needed to teach the mentally retarded.
"They aren't sorry for the mentally retarded kids," he said. "They think that these kids can learn to do it, and that's part of this educational process."
Usually special education majors have had a long interest in the field and sometimes have a particular affinity for retardation, Shuntan said.
Students who want to teach special education usually have
Missouri Valley Will Be Site of Summer Diggings
By PAT MALONE
Kansan Staff Writer
The Missouri River valley, north of Kansas City, Mo, will be the site for the Great Plains Archaeological Field School this summer, conducted by the University of Kansas and Kansas State University.
About 20 undergraduate and graduate students from KU, K-state and other universities around the country will work under a staff of four, headed by Alfred Johnson, curator of the museum of anthropology and professor of anthropology
Participants in the field school will be excavating sites where the Kansas City area is located, and were in the Kansas City area from approximately A.D. 1 to
Students will receive eight hours of credit for full-time work on the excavations and in a field laboratory, which will be set up with equipment used by artifacts from the Indian ruins. The students and their instructors will be housed in Parkville, Mo. For the school term, June 15-June 30, the cost for residents is $80 tuition and $120 room and board.
JOHNSON SAID students would be taught basic and advanced techniques in archaeological field work. He designed an experimental nature of many of the archaeological techniques.
"we feel," Johnson said, "that for archaeology to go anywhere we must constantly experiment with new techniques. This experimental techniques."
Father Says Son Exploited by Media
GALLIPOLIS, Ohio (UIpi) —
GALLIPOLIS, a table tennis
team member, quoted as saying
he may remain in Communist
country. He quoted an "immature boy" who failed to
realize he was in the limelight.
"I think the American party over there should have more control over what their people do," she said. "I don't think the news organizations should take an immature boy and quote him like
"He is in the limelight and probably doesn't realize it," the father said. "He is good in table tennis but he is not aware at all of the real effect of what he said would be on himself and other people."
"I think they are obviously trying to crucify him. They look for something sensational and amusing," he said, as an immature kid and quote him."
Young Tannheil also also was quoted as saying Mao Tse-tung "was certainly the greatest man in history, the world today. He reaches the most people and influences the most people. His philosophy is
Chester Tannheil, executive editor of the Gallipoli Tribune and Pomeroy Daily Sentiment, spoke on behalf of his son, who is a member of the U.S. team now in Fisking for a series of matches.

attitude is something the students should have with them the rest of their careers."
Johnson is now negotiating with the Missouri Highway Commission to allow the field school to survey for archaeological sites along the proposed route for Interstate north of Kansas that the highway cannot be destroyed when the highway goes through.
The Toronto newspaper also quoted young Tannehill as saving:
"In China there is no exploiting of the working class. The workers have power. In the United States

the workers are taken advantage of."
The father said "I suppose he said it. I certainly couldn't say he didn't say it although it doesn't mean that he's pressed thoughts like that before. He's searching for something to believe in. Let's put it that way."

Johnson noted that the Hopewells might have had some agriculture on the hill and on wild vegetables and a wide variety of animals, especially deer and their food. They would hunted by shown and hunted with spears and made pottery. Their sites were near many people gathered together in the summer months when food was plentiful and breaking up in the spring.
THIS SUMMER, the field school will be testing a hypothesis that the Hopewells were migrants who slowly moved westward from the Illinois River Basin in western Illinois. The hypothesis is based on evidence that these cities are all along the Missouri River.
The four are the Rev. Gene Trouche, 58, a French-speaking Methodist minister; Stan Meyer, 50, a officer and an auto mechanic; and Ed Newyer, an ecumenical objector; and Ed Newyer, 70, a retired fireman.
They will also seek to discover why the Hopewells disappeared from the Kansas City area in about the year 500 Johnson that significant climatic changes occurred at that time.
bachelor's degrees with an emphasis in special education. After classroom observation, the teacher teaches each child for eight hours and then teach special education children for seven
Johnson said that there would not be much of a problem in locating excavation sites because most of the Indians in this area of the country lived in river valleys and archaeologists could locate them. The area had pottery and arrowheads which have washed up from the river.
After a site is located, he said, the next step would be to do test excavations of the area to determine if the cultural artifacts" located there.
Sites are then grilled into 2 meter squares and excavated in depth. Digging in levels enables the archaeologists to make comparisons of the material at a site, on the material at the top, in order to discover cultural changes which occurred over the years, Johnson said.
Shintani said that the mentally retarded child developed like the normal child in an a slower rate. He has the best training other children but does not respond to teaching methods. It is important that the responsibility to be sensitive to this frustured child and to determine his individual level of development.
Besides four required undergraduate courses, 24 extra hours and one year of teaching are needed for certification.
Teachers of the mentally retarded often feel ill-prepared because there is no definite curriculum, Gary Clark, associate professor of education, said. He here is more aware of unqualifiedized training and smaller classes than in a normal class situation.
The greatest challenge is for the teacher to determine each child's learning problems and to teach them how to handle these needs, Clark said. Instead of merely slowing down the curriculum designed for normal children, there is now more prescriptive teaching, he said.
The department considers the mentally retarded child who is culturally disadvantaged but has no biological damage as children with Chronic Child With physiological problems are considered "trainable."
He said it was important for special education teachers to teach the children not and give them labels. He said the School of Education wanted to make sure that the students felt

who knew exactly what they were getting into.
"There are more frustrations and we see less progress," he said.
Shintani, who taught mentally retarded children in the Chicago inner city for three years, said he believed culturally deprived child did not realize his child was retarded in learning skills because this was different from what he did in school. Many times the special education class has a bad connotation and the parent is unhappy when this child to the program, he said.
He added that although there were fewer rewards in special education, the rewards that came were greater.
Opportunities for employment of a special education teacher are many. In 2014, the state requires all public schools to provide special education facilities by 1974. Kansas will meet this requirement in 2016 and year to meet the demands of these programs. Presently 500 university students in Kansas hire each year, but 900 are lost. There is particularly a need for inner city special education teachers.
KU now has 81 full-time students in the mental retardation program and 35 part-ment students. The program trains students in special education, Junior high and high school programs are being developed.
Besides the Lawrence special education programs, there are hundreds of other Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City for the orthopedically handicapped, emotionally disabled, and mentally retardation research center in Parsons. All of these programs are under the direction of Richard Whelen, chairman of the department, to associate professor of education
Summer Term Survives Despite KU Budget Cut
The future of summer schools in the University of Kansas seems secure despite the recent budget cuts and a plan to eliminate KU's 1971 summer session. Raymond Nichols, executive director of Summer and Tuesday
Nichols said that the 1971-72 budget actually resulted in a 4 result, though the legislature appropriated about the same amount of money as he and his expedition were subject to inflation. Nichols said, and simply could not be denied, that the expedition bells are examples of this
inflation
Nichols that fund cuts did not necessarily result in reduction of the hours offered during the summer. Each school prepared its own list of courses, and they judged, he said, and they may choose to reduce hours or substitute a lower salaried faculty member.
The 1971 summer session budget was cut approximately 10 per cent last December, Nichols said, to adjust for fund cuts.
He said that the University did not want to cut academic programs in order to save money. He said savings could come elsewhere.
