class brought "handcapped children" back to class yesterday.
"I put it in my pocket and we went to the gas station, and when I came back, I forgot about it being in my pocket and accidentally smashed it," one student said.
One student's egg was kidnapped when she went out to dinner and left her "child" with her roommate. Her neighbors kidnapped the egg and charged it for 20 dollars, but would charge her 2 cents for baby-sitting instead.
Many students named their eggs. Davis' fiance named her egg Erbert.
GINGER CHANCE, DeSoto, let her son name Ginger, he said, "He meant the eagle, the engine, which he said meant 'high IQ'
"It was a dulg e. He said we aren't having girls, so it was a bov." she said.
Chance is the only student in the class who actually is a parent, and she said she felt better.
"What it did for me was to bring back memories of the constant responsibilities and how when you need that break, it just doesn't come," Chance said.
"I thought, 'I'm so glad it's just an egg,'" she said.
Davis said she would walk into the room where the egg was and expect it to do something.
"A real child takes more than just carrying it around." the she said.
Buchman agreed, saving the experiment could
not be a perfect example of what it was like to be
in the situation, we did not absofroce the physical,
emotional and social issues.
"You don't get anything in return from an egg as you would in interactions with a child," Brett said.
BUT MOST of the students got involved in the spirit of the experiment and learned a lot from the experience of caring for a fragile, vulnerable object.
"There was the constant concern about how cold it was, all over one little egg." Davis said.
"I felt really selfish with my time and doing what I wanted to do, and I hoped that my child would be good, and be good looking when people good, egg," said Sherron Seaton, Overland Park senior.
Davis works at the Ballard Community Center for youth care, and when she brought what she called her "baby egg" to the center, he children there wanted to hold it and fought over who could care for it. Davis compromised and the children out the egg down for a nap.
"I was really protective of the egg," she said. "You know about little kids."
Chance said, "It reminded me of how you reshuffle your priorities, like when you want to go to the store, but you wait until someone can baby-sit."
DAVIS'S EGG "slept" on her bedside table wrapped in a shawl next to her alarm clock. She said she thought about the alarm waking up her "child" and if the egg actually were a child.
she would have to get up for middle-of-the-night feedings.
She said that one girl in the class actually set her alarm for 4 a.m. to make the experience a bit more enjoyable.
"I just thought, 'Thank God it's an egg,'" she said.
Students found they wanted to wait to have children.
Many students painted hair and smiling faces on their eggs. But it wasn't all a game.

At that point, Riner walked up and in a voice like that used with a child told her that if she did not get out of the car, they would to it with her in it.
"No!" she screamed.

It had been a full night, one that required much patience, but it was almost over.
The midnight shift headed back to their headquarters at Hoch Auditorium to brief the staff.
"We'll be handing out the (ACT) financial statements form this week and we encourage them to pick them up before semester break." The managers, director of financial aid, said yesterday.
A trip to the financial aid office before Christmas break will pay off for students seeking 1982-83 campus-based aid or short-term loans to pay for spring tuition.
Spring loans and aid available at KU office
Because of the high number of students and the limited amount of campus-based funds, student best bet is to apply early. The financial year ran out of money last year around March 15.
Students who need to take out a short-term loan for spring tuition can make arrangements for it.
"We don't make any short term loans during enrollment week," Rogers said. "The latest you may file a form is two days before the University enrollment process begins."
Students applying for the campus-based aid should delay applying for the Guaranteed student loans, until they know how much aid they will receive.
To obtain a short-term loan, students must fill out a form and have an interview with a loan officer.
The loans have a six percent interest and the loan officer determines when it is due.
