Brawn Over Brain!
Manager Misses
Train
Managers of athletic teams are
chosen for their resourcefulness—
at least that’s what it says in the
books.
I When Coach Bob Higgins
turned his Nittany Lion football
team loose in Dallas the day after
the game, he emphasized that they
must be present at the train sta
tion by a certain time.
J He repeated the departure time
over and over so that no one
I would miss the Lion Special. The
Icaoch felt that it was unnecessary
Ito draw diagrams for the man
agers so when a count revealed
that all the team had made the
train, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Later it was discovered that
someone was missing. One of the
managers. Frank PhaJipplbar. was
not to be found.
When Philipipbar caught up
with the team in St. Louis, his ex
planation was simple. “I couldn’t
find the station.’’
Sewing Classes

ing classes will begin next week,

Speech Clinic Helps
Those Handicapped
By Paler Warker
In fulfilling its role as a cor
rection center for those afflicted
with a speech or hearing handi
cap. the Speech and Hearing
Clinic treats four main groups of
patients during the academic
year.
In the first group are those
students of the College who are
screened out of the incoming un
dergraduate classes at the begin
ning of every school year in a
speech nnd hearing test given by
the clinic.
Those College students with
speech or hearing deficiencies
suffciently acute to cause voca
tional. educational, or social hand
icaps are treated for a fee of one
dollar a semester. There are
about 50 of these students now in
training with approximately 30,
more on the waiting list.
The second group treated comes
to Penn State from the State Of
fice of Vocational Education. Bu
reau of Rehabilitation. This office
refers to the College those indi
viduate over 16 years of age who
are unable to make satisfactory
vocational adjustments because of
speech and/or hearing defects.
Patient Improvement
“Many of these patients are
completely unintelligible when
they come to the College.” said
Professor McDonald. “All of them
show some improvement after
training, while some have gone
on to become nurses, beauticians,
hospital technicians, and college
students.”
“One girl.” continued Professor
McDonald, “was almost unintel
ligible when she came to us last
year. After 18 weeks of training
she was mistaken for a clinic in
structress by a group of visitors.”
On Friday afternoons and Sat
urday mornings, the clinic’s staff
diagnoses and advises out-patient
cases that are referred to the Col
lege from throughout the state.
These cases, comprising the third
group treated at the clinic, num
ber from four to six a week. They
are sent to the summer clinic
sponsored by the College or are

referred to one or more of the 70-
odd speech correctionists in the
state. State College public school
children make up the fourth
group treated b.v the clinic.
Summer Sessions
In addition to these patients,
the clinic every year sponsors a
program for deaf or hard-of-hear
ing children under five years of
age in June, and also a summer
residential speech clinic. During
the main summer session, extend
ing from June 28 to August 7. the
summer clinic will treat approxi
mately 40 selected cases. These
cases are chosen to give the clinic
a cross-section of the maior types
of .speech defects, and the patients
are treated by summer student
clinicians working under the close
supervision of the clinic’s regular
staff.
A great demand, destined to
increase in the future, now exists
for speech a nd hearing correotion
ists. according to Professor Mc-
Donald.
“Employed in the Pennsylvania
public schools at the present
time.” he said, “is a total of be
tween 70 and 80 trained clin
icians. But the total demand in
the State’s public schools alone
numbers about 1.300.”
Unable io Fill Demand
“We receive here at the clinic
at least twice as many requests
for speech correctionists as we
can fill.” he said, “while the hear
ing clinician demand is even
greater in proportion to the sup
ply.”
Although public schools em
ploy the largest number of speech
and hearing instructors, ex
plained Professor McDonald,
many applications are also being
received from hospitals, the Vet
erans Administration, the Society
for Crippled children and Adults.
Leagues for the Hard of Hearing,
and other college clinics. Further
more. he added, there is a wide
field for thdse desiring to enter
private Practice.
Salaries for graduates vary
from $2,000 to $4,000 a year de
