Its three responsibilities arc
teaching and training, research,
o'nd educational rchabflitation of

rnd adults. Clinical services arc
offered to over 500 children and
adults annually.
The clinic relies on fees for a

Faculty, staff and .students of the
University are entitled to services
without a fee. The fees which are
charged are in proportion to the
person's ability to pay.
The average examination by the
Clinic requires approximately two
hours to complete, and includes
such tests as the Psycho-galvanfkin response method and delayed
auditory feedback, which const!- tute two of the most recent advances In testing hearing.
The Psycho-galvanskin re
sponse audiometry is a method for
measuring hearing that does not
necessitate a voluntary response
Jrom the subject. Infants as young
as six months can be tested by this
approach. It's principle of opera- - j
tion is based on the use of a basic
audiometer coupled to an ampli- tier and a graphic recorder. By
conditioning the subject to a tone
followed by a mild shocks which
causes small changes in skin re- distance, his hearing chart can!
be plotted when he begins to respond-to
the tone alone.
The delayed auditory feedback
is an electronic method of delaying the talker's speech a fraction
of a second while he is talking.
As the subject reads or talks, he
hears his "delayed" speech over
headphones. This disturbs his '
talking, and by noting the ap-- 1
proximate level at which his
speech is disturbed, it is possible
to determine the relative degree '
of hearing loss for each ear.
'
The development of speech and
language is necessary for all chil- dren who have a handicapped
hearing loss. If a child does not
adequately hear speech and other
environmental sounds, speech and '
language will not develop without
special training, and recognition
of sounds will not take place. The
first step toward rehabilitation in
these instances is a medical ex- animation of the ears, nose and
throat. This should be followed

The United States

is assessing

the

ex-

as meantension of the Quemoy cease-firing the end ot the current crisis there,
and wondering where the Communists
will start creating trouble next.
Extension of the Quemoy truce from
one to three weeks represents a victory
for American pressure against the use
of force to settle jxditical arguments.
One of the chief results of the crisis
has been promulgation by President
Eisenhower of the idea that armed opposition to the use of force is now a
general American principle. Within a
relatively few weeks it has been applied
in the Middle East and the Far East.
For years it has been applied in Europe.
It vas applied in Korea. The strong
implication of Eisenhower and Dulles
statements during the recent passage at
arms with the Chinese Reds is that the
principle now applies everywhere.
The Chinese Reds are reiterating that
they do not accept the principle. "We
are free to fight when we want to fight
and stop when wc want to stop," they
said in their statement.
The fact is, however, that international
Communism wanted to stop its provocations in both the Middle Fast and the
Far East when the American posture became so Msi(ie that they could not
continue their tactics without risking war.

for the current popularity of educational
television in American public education.
In many of our secondary schools the
shortage of qualified teachers has guaranteed almost any educational innovation a great deal of success. And the
current trend toward educational television is in line with the American tradition of public education which has always
produced a very large number of individuals neither able to read nor write.
Educational television will now make
it possible for an even larger number
of indiv iduals to discard their textbooks

method which should have gone out of

Evils Of Educational TV

Campus Cinema
Lexington is generally regarded as
one of Kentucky's few cultural centers. It has gentlemanly racing, the
University, many first rate concerts
and lectures, plus places of historic
interest anil examples of excellent
architecture all within or near the
city limits, lint the city is noticeably
lacking in good cinema which may
be classed as artistic, or even good.
True, it would take a city at least
the sie of Louisville to financially
support a theater which confined its
showings to purely artistic films. It
should be the responsibility of the
University, therefore, to provide such
quality entertainment for the audience that undeniably exists in Lexington, especially among University
lacultv and students.
It wasn't long ago that such a
program was in effect on the campus.
Campus Cinema provided, for a very
nominal charge, both foreign and
American movies of very high caliber.
They weren't the most recently produced films, but they were good and
were quite popular.
They were discontinued, however,
because of a lack of a suitable theater-o- n

The Red claim to retention of the
initiative is within itself one of the best
reasons lor believing that the Quemoy
ceasefire has now become the de facto
truce to which Secretary Dulles referred
as a prerequisite to international consideration of the Red territorial claims.
A voluntary resumption
of the
tensive bombardment would lead other
Asiatic nations to a sure judgment as
to who is responsible for the trouble.
This will become especially true as the
United States begins to reduce the force
recently built up in the area.
Many Observers would not be. surprised
if the international Communist campaign
centered for a while on Europe, through
propaganda connected with the jssue of
nuclear testing and disarmament in general. These are topics to which the Reds
have especially addressed themselves at
the current meeting of the United Nations General Assembly.
1 he Geneva
Conference on a testing ban will begin
soon. The Reds always make an effort
to divide the United States from her
European allies on these issues.
The Communist stirring spoon will also
be discernible soon in the boiling political
jm(s of Pakistan, Burma and again in the
Middle East.
Whether these or some other trouble
spots will again evoke the Washington
policy of lout against force remains to
be seen,

development.
I do not exjKxt cducatioii.il statistics to reveal this, however, since the
majority of students graduating in the
past were not required to do much reading and the graduates of television education will be no worse off in this
respect. The important fact is lhat educational television is now being
as the solution to most of the
ills of public education and the fact
is that it hasn't even attacked the central
problem the inability of students to read
and comprehend the material lhat they
must master in order to make further
development possible. An individual cannot stay in school all of his life for the
purpose of being spoon fed by bis intellectual superiors.
