Fischer Quints Out Of Danger Period
AEERDEEN, S.D.—(UPI) —The Fischer quintuplets broke through their greatest danger period today. Their proud mother celebrated with prayers of thanksgiving and holy communion.
The five quints, each of them with a full Christian name at last and thriving on a diet of milk formula laced with vitamins, passed the 72-
Professor Barker Receives Award
Roger C. Barker, professor of psychology at KU, received one of the three Distinguished Scientist awards made by the American Psychological Association at its annual meeting in Philadelphia last week.
The award to Prof. Barker, whose specialty is child psychology, was in part based on outstanding contribution made by him and his associates in three books: "One Boy's Day," "Midwest and its Children," and "The Stream of Behavior."
THE FIRST TWO BOOKS were co-authored by Prof. Barker and Prof Herbert F. Wright, now chairman of the KU department of psychology. It was based on research done when they were both associated with the Midwest Project in Oskalposa.
The third book, "The Stream of Behavior," is a compilation of research reports by associations which Prof. Barker edited as an integrated presentation of the more recent work of the Midwest Project.
Prof. Barker has continued with the Midwest Project in Oskaloosa while Prof. Wright has developed another study, the town and city Project headquartered in Lawrence.
THIS PIONEERING research in the area of ecological psychology in which Professors Wright and Barker have engaged in during the past 17 years at KU has received many other professional recognitions.
Earlier this year the National Institute of Mental Health, part of the U.S. Public Health Service, appointed Prof. Barker a "career scientist" so he might devote the next five years more intensively to research. Both the Midwest and the town and city.
hour danger period of their tiny lives in which their doctor had warned the perils of premature birth are greatest. Today, physicians said, their chances for survival were at their brightest.
Mrs. Mary Ann Fischer awoke early and received the Roman Catholic sacrament of holy communion from Father Vincent Healy, a visiting assistant pastor at Aberdeen Sacred Heart Church.
She was saying prayers of thanksgiving when she was visited by Sister Mary Stephen, administrator of St. Luke hospital.
"It's the best night I've had," the auburn-haired mother said. "I slept all night."
Her babies also had a fine night. Sister Stephen checked with the nursery and reported they eat, sleep and wiggle like normal babies.
"The quints are still tolerating their food—four to six cc's of milk formula every two hours—and are drinking it all down," the sister said.
She indicated the decision might be made today on when Mrs. Fischer, 30, can go home to her husband and their other five children. Her departure might come as early as tomorrow, it was reported. The quints will have to stay in the hospital for an extended period.
In New York, the bill introduced yesterday by Sen. George S. McGovern, D-S-D, to aid the newborn Fischer children recalls action taken almost 30 years ago to protect the interests of the Dionne quintuplets.
McGovern, in sponsoring a bill to exempt the family from federal income and estate taxes until the children are 21, said gifts received by the Andrew Fischers could be virtually useless because of federal taxes.
The Canadian Government made the five Dionne girls wards of the King within two months after their birth on May 28, 1934, to save them from what was termed certain death by exploitation.
The quints were returned to the legal custody of their parents eight years later.
The money which the quints received through royalties and endorsements went into a trust fund which amounted to $1 million by the time the four surviving girls reached 21. Emilie Dionne died when she was 20.

KU Hosts 16 Schools
Last summer, 155 students representing 16 college or university residence hall organizations converged on Lewis Hall for the annual conference of the Midwest Association of College and University Residence Halls (MACURH).
Three schools joined the association. They were Illinois State University, Pennsylvania State University, and Kansas State Teachers College at Emporia.
The conference was the largest in the history of the midwest association. "In fact, it was within one or two delegates of being the same size as the national conference last spring at the University of Arizona," said James Tschectelin, Shawnee Mission junior, MACURH vice-president and conference chairman.
THE CONFERENCE was concluded with a banquet speech by William R. Butler, dean of students at Ohio University. He said the residence halls should be primarily concerned with providing the facilities for students to develop intellectually, morally, culturally, physically, and socially.
Donald Stonebarger of Oklahoma State University was elected president of the association for the coming year. Wallace Palmer of the University of Missouri was elected vice-president.
Next year's conference will be at the University of Missouri.
