SPEECH CLINIC Sally Stephens and Kay Stafford, senior clinicians-in-training, joined the children for a party,
complete with refreshments, last Friday the final day of the Summer Speech Clinic. .
"Snakes" Used as Part of Therapy
To Improve Little Johnny's Speech
Student Clinicians Tell About Work in Speech Clinic
Hissing "snakes" at the
University of Nebraska Sum-
mer Speech Clinic can and
have improved little Johnny's
speech.
"Snakes" are often used as
part of an indirect therapy
to help preschool children
with speech problems to im
prove their use of the "S"
sound, said Kay Stafford,
speech clinician-in-training.
Kay explained that the
clinicians cometimes roll
M'snakes" from clay and then
ask the children, "What noise
does a snake make?"
The children practice hiss
ing, and pretend their tongues
are snakes and their teeth
are fences. They learn to hiss
without letting the "snake"
through the "fence".
Indirect therapy is instruc
tion through playing games,
used to help the pre-school
children improve their speech
even though they are too
young to realize they have
speech problems, said Sally
Stephens, also a clinician-in-training.
"Most little children just
have to be stimulated and
they'll say things correctly,"
Kay added, "so we give them
additional stimulation through
games, songs and speech
activities."
Other informal and indirect
techniques used to help pre
school clients during their
classes are movies, tea par
ties, and organized games
such as "Here We Go Lubby
Lu."
Problems, No Defects
Most of the clients at the
NU speech clinic have speech
problems rather than defects,
Kay said. The difference is
that with speech problems
there is nothing wrong with
the speech mechanism as in
the case of speech defects,
she explained.
In addition to their work in
the four-week summer clinic
which ended Friday, Kay and
Sally, both NU seniors, work
in the speech clinic during
the regular school year. The

are under the direction and
guidance of the speech depart
ment faculty, and their work
in the clinic is part of their
required training.
"I went into this kind of
training for two reasons,"
said Sally Stephens. First,
probably because my older
sister is a speech therapist
in Omaha, and secondly, be
cause this kind of work gives
me great satisfaction. It's
such fun to help people and
to hear them improve in
speech."
Enthusiasm for Service
Miss Lucille Cypreanson,
director of the speech clinic,
said, "When you talk to the
c I i c l a n s-in-traimng you
catch some of their enthus
iasm, and you begin to realize
that there is satisfaction in
service."" "

new element into the chil

Campaign Plans
Young Democrats
Will Meet Mon.
The University Young
Democrats will meet Mon
day evening to finalize their
participation in summer cam
paign plans, including selling
tickets to a "Bucks for
Beans" dinner July 31.
YD President Gary Thomp
son said all interested sum
mer school students are in
vited to attend the meeting
at 7:30 p.m. July 23 in Room
340, Nebraska Union.
The campus Democrats
plan to operate a booth in
the Union July 23-31 to sell
tickets to the "Bucks for
Beans" dinner. Attendance of
500 is expected.
According to Donald Grant,
chairman of the Lancaster
County Democratic Central
Committee, the fund-raising
dinner will feature appear
ances by Gov. Frank Morri
son, Clair Callan of Odell,
Democratic candidate for
First District Congressman,
and county candidates.
The dinner, scheduled for
6:30 p.m. July 31 in the Lin
coln Hotel ballroom, may al
so be highlighted by a na

ty fairs and the State Fair,
posting political placards and
putting on bumper stickers.

Miss Cypreanson said. "She
did speech therapy through
dancing. The children sang as
they danced through a variety
of simple folk steps and every
one worked for the best
speech possible," she said.
Pre-school children are not
the only persons to whom the
speech clinic's services are
available. Saturday morning
classes are held during the
year for elementary school
children, and both group and
individual instruction are of
fered to University students,
especially foreign students,
and adults of" the' Lincoln
community.
A more direct therapy is
used on elementary school
children during their Satur
day morning speech clinics,
Sally said. One of the chil
dren's projects last p r i n g
was making "sound" scrap
books with pictures emphasiz
ing various sounds.
The phonetic alphabet is
used to help the older chil
dren learn to produce sounds
Woods Fellows Study
Coherency in Programs
Forty-four Nebraska English teachers are taking part in
the Woods Curriculum Institute here to allow them "to think
seriously about their profession for a couple of months" and
to develop coherency in an English program, according to Dr.
Paul A. Olson, director.
The curriculum problem is
not a Nebraskan, but a na
tional problem, Dr. Olson
said. Some facets of the prob
lem are that teachers are
overloaded; instructional ma
terials are carelessly put to
gether; there is a national
lack of articulation; too much
repetition exists in teaching
English; and the grammar
represented in present-day
grammar texts is incoherent,
he said.
"The change we're suggest
ing," he said, "is comparable
to recent changes in (the
teaching of) physics, mathe
matics and foreign languages
we aren't interested in in
novation for the sake of in
novation." An effective English teach
ing program, Dr. Olson said,
should be based on "sound
scholarship and a sound
knowledge of the way people
learn a language."
The teachers will benefit,
he said, in three basic ways:
1) They will have the best
information, the best schol
arship In areas of linguistics
and literary scholarship; they
will learn the psychology in
volved in English instruction,
and they will be provided
with a 'complete scholarly
background for teaching Eng
lish. 2) The institute is familiar
izing the teachers with the lat
est materials for the teacher
and for the student.
3) The teachers themselves

correctly, and word games,

Adult Clinic
A definite direct approach
is used to help University
students and adults overcome
their speech difficulties, Sally
said. The clients are' usually
given individual help to gain
understanding of their own in
dividual speech problems.
Listening to tape recordings
of their own speech helps the
students to hear their speech
errors and to compare their
pronunciations with those of
the clinician, Sally said. Prac
ticing in front of a mirror al
so aids in learning to form
sounds correctly, as correct
sound productions can be seen
as well as heard, she added.
Thus, techniques from in
formal group games to con
scious and deliberate effort
on the part of speech clients
themselves help the clients to
"talk like other people"
through one of the many serv
ices of the University of Ne
braska the speech clinic.
are planning about forty in
structional units on the ele
mentary level and about thir
ty instructional units on the
secondary level, thus gaining
"specific material they can
take into the classroom.
Their students, Dr. Olson
said, will be benefiting in
much the same way as the
teacher. For example, they
will be learning from ma
terials which "represent ac
curate information about
language, the nature of lit
erature and not some myth."
he said.
In addition, he said, they
will "encounter much more
coherent programs which will
allow them to reap a great
amount of thoughtful litera
ture." Thus the English student
will "meet the best of thought
and writing in literature and
language, and will be able to
use this in- his own handling
of language," Dr. Olson said.
Another aspect of the insti'
tute is the liasion which
"takes place when Nebraska
teachers sit down with Uni
versity of Nebraska faculty
to plan an intelligent pro
gram," he said,
In the future, he said, "it
won't be the University of
Nebraska pushing high
schools to change their pro
gram, it'll be the high schools
pushing the University to
change its program."
"And that's the way we
want it," he added, smiling.
Nine Students Tell Why

From among the stacks
and reading rooms of the li
brary, nine persons gave
their reasons for being there
iasi Saturday.
"I work here," responded
Sharon Bindfield, 20, of Hins
dale, HI. "I'll spend the
morning shelving books," tha
music major said, turning
back to her book cart.
Busy writing a paper for
her music appreciation class,
Julie Larson, 19, from Hum
bolt, said, "All my friends
have gone home, so I thought
maybe I'd get some work
done this morning, for a
change." Julie is a iunior at
Nebraska Wesleyan Universi
ty where she is majoring in
secondary education.

Governor Morrison:
Human Vision Is
Only Limitation
To Neb.'s Future
Gov. Frank B. Morrison told
a University of Nebraska as
sembly last week that the only
real limitation to Nebraska's
future is the limitation of hu
man vision.
The governor and several of
his staff spoke at the wind
up of the two-day University
conference on "A Portrait of
Nebraska and its Promise."
"I have ears and have
heard, of people calling Ne
braska conservative, unimag
inative, without vision to the
point of being reactionary,"
he said. "And yet within some
of our lifetimes we have seen
the state become one of the
most productive areas in the
world."
The Governor contrasted
the beginnings of the state,
when it was called "a great
trackless waste," with the re
cent study which shows Ne
braska stands third in the na
tion of the number of acres
under productive irrigation.
Governor Morrison empha
sized several times during the
address the great potential
Nebraska has in its water.
"At the base of what can be
accomplished in the future is
-water and how we can use it
well and how we can con
serve it," he said.
Referring to Nebraska's hu
man potential, Governor Mor
rison said there was no limit
here of what could be ac
complished through education
if we could rid ourselves of
petty jealousy and misunder
standing. "Berlin has its concrete
and barbed wire wall, but we
have other walls of creed
against creed, philosophy
against philosophy and race
against race," he said.
Summer Nebraskan
