About 7:30 yesterday morning Mrs. Scriven started to feel ill and the first thing Scriven knew he was delivering a baby.
There wasn't time to call an ambulance or drive to a hospital Scriven had to follow telephone instructions from Lawrence Memorial Hospital workers.
The ambulance arrived right after Ann Teresa, and the family was rushed to the hospital.
Student Assists Daughter's Birth
Ann Teresa Seriven will have a novel tale to tell when someone ask the story of her life.
"Mv wife, Marilyn, helped more than I did. She really assisted at the birth of her own child," he said.
Ann Teresa's father is Roger Scriven, Wataga, Ill., graduate student, of Stouffer Place. Today he probably can't talk about his daughter's arrival so calmly as she will some day.
"My dad and mom delivered me at home without any doctors or ambulances or hospitals or anything," Ann Teresa can say.
"I didn't really have time to get scared," Scriven said later at the hospital.
"About all I did was hold up her head while she was being born, then roll her over and wrap her in warm towels until help arrived," he added.

petition asking a review of his case, starting with his trial and conviction in 1948 as the infamous "red ligat bandit" who prowled lovers' lanes in the Los Angeles area. Chessman was convicted on 17 felony counts, including robbery, theft, sex offenses and kidnapping.
If the Supreme Court had not granted the stay of execution Wednesday, the seventh in Chessman's 11-year battle for life, he would have been moved yesterday afternoon from his cell in death row on the fifth floor to the "death cell" adjoining the gas chamber on the first floor.
Misses Last Supper
There he would have eaten the traditional last supper. And shortly before noon he would have been led the 15 feet to the gas chamber, and strapped in a chair. Then Warden Fred Dickson would have signaled to a prison officer to throw the lever that would have dropped the cyanide "eggs" into a pan of sulphuric acid beneath the chair, manufacturing the deadly hydrocyanic gas.
