Attitude important for disabled
Trying to create a constructive attitude about disabled people could boostermary to support stereotypes of the disabled, Beatrice Wright, president of psychology, said yesterday at a meeting of Students Concerned With Disabilities.
"The simulation of disabilities, like blindfolding a person, could boomerang and make people feel as if we are lonely and scared all the time," she said.
Wright spoke to about 15 people in the Pine Room of the Kansas Union and said that disabled people needed to show other people what it was like to be blind. He also called a "coping framework" as opposed to a "succumbing framework."
A succumbing framework occurs when the disabled person emphasizes his disability and makes it more im- tenu than the entire individual, Wright said.
A coping framework, she said, shows a coping the intrinsic value of a disabled
person and doesn't compare a disabled person to a non-disabled person.
"A good example of this is with a retarded person," she said. "When you think of an adult with an IQ of 50, you say, 'That really bad.' But a child of 8 or 10 of 50 and an 8-year-old has a lot of capabilities, and intrinsic values."
"People get so impressed by the heartbreak of living with a disability that it works against the coping framework."
JAN McKOWN, president of the group, said that Jerry Lewis helped to foster stereotypes of the disabled in his movies and telethons.
"Jerry Lewis, ironically, makes fun of the retarded and the spastic and makes people feel sorry for the people the telchon," McKown said.
McKown said the media portrayed disabled people as objects of pity, evil punishment and insult.

sometimes limited sexually, we are by no means non-sexual," she said.
McKown said the best way for disabled people to avoid stereotypes were for them not to act like a stereotype or try to go against a stereotype.

which the meteors pass through quickly, makes them hot. They burn at about 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit and leave a trail of hot. blowing gases.
Orion, the hunter for whom the October meteors were named, was the son of the sea god Poseidon, and there is a love story told about him.
He will conduct a two-day workshop next week entitled, "Eliminating Self-defeating Behaviors." These include procrastinating, smoking, overacting and any habits or attitudes that result in a lack of productivity, poor grades and feelings of self-depreciation," he said.
The goddess Diana fell in love with Orion, but her brother, Apollo, didn't approve of the match.
SPONSORED BY THE Adult Life Resource Center, the workshop will meet from 7 to 10 p.m. Oct. 6 and 13 at the First Baptist Church, 1393 Kasold Drive. Participants may register and pay the $2 fee at the Adult Life Resource Center at 13th Street and Oread Avenue before Oct. 6.
Thomas said he would explain self-defeating behavior and how it affected the person who engaged in it. Participants will make lists of when, how, and what they will observe in such behavior, and they will discuss their observations at the second meeting.
"We'll work to develop self-awareness," Thomas said. "Once you know when you're doing self-defeating things, you can learn to stop."
ONE FORM OF self-defeating behavior is called disownment of the problem, he said.
For example, someone who winds up doing all his assignments the night before the due date may make the excuse that his instructors all assign him more work than he can do, Thomas said.

"Once students understand the model of self-defeating behavior, they can use it in ways that apply specifically to them," he said.
"I continually meet people on the street who say, 'You don't know me, but I was in one of your behavior workshops. I've really been helped by it.' " he said.

One day, as Orion was swimming, Apollo and Diana walked by on the seashore. Apollo challenged Diana to hit a target bobbing in the water with her darts. It was Orion's head, but she didn't know that, so she shot and killed him.
