Prof Studies Motivation And Speech Dr. Bruce M. Siegenthaler, as sociate professor of clinical speech, is directing a 17-month study to determine the effects of motiva tion in overcoming speech prob lems in children. The study, supported by a $4,185 grant from the U.S. Office ofl l Education, will consist of ques tionnaires completed under super vision. About 800 questionnaires, will be filled out by children inl the public schools or ranging in! age from eight to 18. Both children with speech and I hearing difficulties andthose with out will be used for the study. The results tabulated will be used I by therapists to devise techniques to evaluate specific speech prob lems of the individual child, Dr. Seigenthaler said he be-1 lieves that children vary in the intensity of their desire to correct defects. 'The data obtained will lend it self to statistical analysis which will indicate the relative strengths' of the expressed need for im proved speech, in contrast to a, number of other needs of the! children," Dr. Seigenthaler said. -Results will give teachers of handicapped children in the schools an improved understand ing of their pupils. The study is expected to contribute to improv ing teaching methods for such children. Among the children's attitudes to be analyzed are those con cerned with security, independ ence, leadership, personal appear ance and self-gratification. Assisting Dr. Siegenthaler will be one graduate assistant not yet named and public school, clinic and speech personnel.

Across from Old Main Sneakers In Snow, Sneakers may not be stylish, but they're practical What other type of shoe could you wear in weather like this (snowy, sloppy, in case you've been too engrossed in your studies to notice) and have it turn out the same general shape the next day? (If you haven't succumbed to the sneaker habit yet, you might try stuffing your drenched loafers with old Collegians. Un less you've already wrapped the garbage, in which case you might use a few pages from your Sociol ogy 1 book.) Sneakers are also useful for walking on ice and packed snow. At least with the rubber soles you're less likely—if not much less—to fall in an embar rassing spot. (Why is it you in variably fall at the intersection of Pollock Road and the Mall at the change of classes? Only i ; other people fall when no. ' body's watching.) Coeds don't skip merrily down, steps and sidewalks in weather like this. They walk like year-old women two feet on each step, hanging desperately onto the-railing. Wind (forecast for today) causes quite a few problems, too. For instance, loose-leafed notebooks become looser-leafed. Long wool scarves disappear.
