Dr. Barker Tells Of Problems Of Handicapped
The handicapped person is in an underprivileged minority position and he must face this fact was a statement made by Dr. Roger G. Barker, professor of psychology, at a meeting of the Speech Therapy seminar Thursday.
"We can now define the adjustment problem which faces every handicapped person," Dr. Barker said. "Every disabled person is fenced in compared to others. He must face reality and try to adjust himself by becoming superior in an area which is not affected by his handicap. It is essentially a psychotherapeutic problem," he explained. "The important avenues of adjustment for handicapes are self-employment and residence in a small town." Dr. Barker added.
town." Barker told the group that psychologists have made great strides in analyzing the problems of the handicapped. "The problem of adjustment doesn't rest entirely with the handicapped person," he said. "Social restriction plays a major role in limiting the handicapee's usefulness to society and to himself. We get ideas about society's feelings toward handicapped people from the iokes which are told about them."
The British plan for aiding handicapes prevents discrimination against them on the employment level said Dr. Barker. The plan calls for the employment of handicapped persons to the extent of three per cent of his payroll by every employer who employs more than 20 persons. ___

Star-gazing has always been a fascinating pastime. It may be in a Kansas wheatfield looking through a homemade telescope, moonstruck lovers parked under a starry sky or from an elaborate observatory atop a mountain.
The University observatory under the supervision of Dr. N. W. Storer, associate professor of astronomy, gives local observers a chance to further their speculations in astronomy through the open house.
715 Mass.
The observatory, located on top of Lindley land, is equipped with a six-inch refracting telescope, a convenient size for planetary study.
Star-gazers Find An Opportunity To See The Heavens At Open House
Plans are now being made to install the Pitt 27-inch reflecting telescope, which was dismantled and stored in the basement of Hoch auditorium during the war. This telescope is intended primarily for the photography of stars. It concentrates light from stars and makes pictures of faint stars possible in shorter
time. The exposure time is lessened in photographing brighter stars.
The Pitt telescope was named in honor of William Pitt, Kansas City, Mo. notebook manufacturer who was interested in optical work. He contributed his skill and the use of his home to the work of polishing the paraboloid surface of the 27-inch mirror. Work on the telescope was started in 1927 but, due to lack of funds during the depression years, it was not installed for use until 1937.
Dr. Storer and advanced astronomy students will use the telescope in photometric research,

Byrd Wants To Take Trip To 'Deep South,' Stop Russia
NO APPOINTMENT NECESSARY
OPEN TO 9 P.M. SATURDAY
New York, Oct. 14.—(U.P.)-Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd wants to take another trip to the south polar regions—this time to offset an "invasion" by the Russians. Byrd, in New York to receive a scroll for his pioneering in polar explorations, disclosed that he had "information" that the Russians had gone to the south polar areas-"Little America" in the Antarctic, in un named ships with "highpowered" south polar regions where Arcel airplanes.
"Whether they were there to get uranium I do not know," Byrd said.
Byrd said that another projected plan to visit "Little America" at the bottom of the world was "not dead," even though it had been turned down twice by congress. He disclosed that the new project was still "under consideration" by the joint chiefs of staff, and that he still had hopes to make the new trip to the south polar areas.
Byrd said that the Russians, as an Arctic nation, were "prepared for war" in the arctic areas—and that Alaska was not a proper training ground for American troops.
The answer, he said is the establishment of American bases in the
south polar regions, where American forces could be made ready for any emergency in Arctic lands.
Russia, according to Byrd—who has flown over both north and south poles,-is an Arctic nation, and "prepared for war" in areas at the top of the world.
The United States, he said, has no training in Arctic conditions, and Alaska is not the answer. He pointed out that the northern most point in Alaska is 1200 miles south of arctic conditions, and that for effective Arctic training the country must use the Antarctica for a "training ground."
During the last 2,000 years,132 species and subspecies of mammals have become extinct.
