Speech Clinic Helps Children New Book Out On Coaches NEW YORK —(U.P.) - Football too often is regarded as a hard-shelled, battering business of sweat, dirt and little sentiment so it owes a large debt of gratitude today to a young man in Atlanta, Ga. He is Edwin Pope, Executive Sports Editor of the Atlanta Journal. He has just authored a book called "Football's Greatest Coaches." Within its pages there is unlimited inspiration for both the poor and the handicapped—as well as a lot of laughs and things you probably never suspected about the greats of the gridiron. Women's Advisers Meet In Salina Miss Martha Peterson, dean of women, and Miss Mary Peg Hardman, assistant dean, and four other women's counselors are attending sessions of the Kansas Association of Deans of Women and Advisers of Girls in Salina today. The annual meeting deals with administration by deans, and problems encountered by dormitory advisers. Others attending the sessions, which will end tomorrow, are Miss Louise Leonard of the University guidance bureau, and head residents Dorothy Bird, Long View, Tex., graduate student, Corbin Hall; Patricia Salyer, Lared graduate student, North College Hall, and Miss Betty Hembrough, Gertrude Sellards-Pearson Hall. The first steamship to cross the Atlantic Ocean was the British ship Rising Sun in 1818. The small black and white sign on one of the annexes behind Strong Hall reads "Speech Clinic." It is passed unnoticed by students scurrying to classes, but inside the long, low building faculty members and students are busy working with children of Lawrence and nearby towns who need speech correction. The work done at the speech clinic is a part of the extensive speech and hearing program of the University. This program was initiated six years ago with seven students enrolled in the first training group. Out of the training program came greatly needed speech correctionists, hearing therapists, and teachers of the deaf who are working throughout Kansas and other states. Special creative projects are set up for young patients who have speech and hearing problems. The facilities include a hearing evaluation unit and tape and disc recorders. Attention is focused for the ear and the eye, said Dr. Richard L. Schiefelebusch, associate professor of speech and director of the clinic. Create Guide Interests "The staff spends much time in creating and guiding the interests of the children, as they learn through the strength of their interests," he said. Students majoring in speech correction take part in the clinic. Seeing examples of professional work speeds up their own development as clinicians, said Bernard Stoll, instructor of speech correction. At the KU Medical Center it Kansas City, Kan., much equipment is devoted to the work of the clinic. A new building now being constructed for special education at the Medical Center will be devoted to treatment of speech and hearing difficulties. Important Functions The cleft palate clinic and the esophageal speech workshop for patients who have undergone a laryngectomy operation are important functions of the Medical Center program. Student undergraduate work is done on the Lawrence campus and field trips are taken to observe the work at the Medical Center. Graduate students participate in the Medical Center program. "Between the two campuses we have a well-rounded, complete set of facilities." Dr. Schieflebusch said. "Training, research, and service combine into a balanced program." Patients at the speech clinic are referred to the Medical Center for more careful diagnosis. As part of the KU program, 23 speech and hearing clinics have been established in the past three years in Kansas cities. Most of the therapists in the clinics are KU graduates. Students Assist In Surveys Students Assist In Surveys Students assist in the speech surveys which aid in establishing clinics in the community. A supervisor works with each student in making a quick diagnosis to determine whether each child needs speech correction. Students receive clinical practice through working in the Lawrence elementary schools. Four times the number of spech correctionists are needed than are now available, Dr. Schiefelbusch said. At the midcentury White House conference it was reported that about 3,000 active speech and hearing therapists are working, and about 15,000 more are needed. Dr. Schiefelbusch said that speech and hearing therapists gain much satisfaction from helping children to achieve communication with others. Graduate Named To Colorado House George L. Brown, a 1950 graduate of the William Allen White School of Journalism and aviation editor of the Denver Post, has been appointed a member of the House of Representatives in the Colorado state Legislature. Mr. Brown was appointed by Gov. Ed Johnson of Colorado to fill a post vacated by a legislator who resigned because he was elected to the Denver City Council. Mr. Brown is a member of the Appropriations Committee. The forward speed of a tornado usually is only 25 to 40 miles an hour.
