Dr. Robert Audi, professor philosophy,
presented an abstract from his paper, "A
Philosophical Perspective on Child Abuse,"
v hich will be published in the Journal of
lerican Medical Women's Association.
Audi discussed definitions and problems
of detecting, reporting, treating and pre
venting child abuse and neglect.
"Forced withdrawal of the child from
the home should be a last resort," Audi
said, concerning alternative treatment
methods for child abuse.
"A reasonable balance should be
achieved between children's protection and
adults' right," he said.
Solved in home
Audi said child abuse should try to be
solved in the home without taking the
child away from his parents and surround
ings. He added that legal action should be
brought in if it is not suitable to continue
the relationship at home.
He said criminal prosecution of parents
usually is not effective in preventing
abuse.

These days, when just
about everyone is getting into
the waterbed business, you
owe it to yourself to visit
Land and Sky before you buy.
Or more precisely, before
you invest.
Because a waterbed is an
investment. And in the long
stretch, it's a Land and Sky
waterbed that'll pay off. Not
only in night-after-night, year-after-year
comfort, but in
quality. In service. In selec
tion and price.
Yes, we make some ex
ceptional claims for our
waterbeds. But we can also
guarantee those claims be
cause we simply build better
waterbeds.
What's more, our people
are waterbed specialists,
knowledgeable professionals
equipped with all the industry
information and statistics
you need to help make your
waterbed decision an intelli
gent one.
And, Land and Sky can
now cater to your specific
style and budget preferences
at either our Lincoln Center
economy store, or at our Lincoln
East store with furnishings
for the complete waterbedroom.
So rf you're considering a
waterbed, go ahead and look
into everybody else's waterbed
business. Because once you
consider the investment, we
think you'll end up with a
Land and Sky.

Audi were periodic visits by the child and
parents to a health center, pre- and post
natal education classes in schools and hos
pital screening of pregnant women in pre
natal care.
Audi also discussed definition problems
with child abuse and neglect, detection of
child abuse by those outside of the family,
moral and legal requirements, and treat
ment. Positive view
"We also need a positive view of what
parents should do for their children," he
said.
Audi said that parents have an obliga
tion to bring up their children and to de
cide when enough is being done for them.
"Parents should ask themselves if they
are doing all they can to make a good life
for their children," he said.
He added that the obligations of friends,
relatives and neighbors should be such that
"spying" is not used to detect child abuse,
but if abuse or neglect is suspected, they
should either speak to the parents about
the problem or contact organizations in the
community that may be able to help the
parents and children.
New registration machine
speeds spring scheduling
Prereeistration packets contain some
thing bright green and totally different
than last semester.
It's a new green course request form
designed so the estimated 18,000 students
students using it will be taking the fewest
steps yet to pre-register.
The form is lined differently than last
semester and has a separate section at the
bottom of the form for listing alternate
courses. To establish priority, packets must
be turned in Oct. 16 through 27. Forms re
ceived Oct. 30 through Nov. 17 will be pro
cessed on a first-come first-serve basis.
Tony Schkade, assistant director of regi
stration and records, said the green forms
are being used because a new machine will
be reading the sheets this semester. The old
machine was replaced because it kept
breaking down.
Besides reading the forms more accurat
ely, Schkade said, the new machine has
other advantages.
One advantage is that students will
receive fewer incomplete forms because the
carbon sensitive machine picks up all marks
including stray marks, Schkade said. Since
it detects all marks, the machine will avoid
running through two forms stuck together.
Another advantage, is that the machine
automatically checks for alternative
sections of a course if the section requested
is filled. However, he said, the emphasis is
on giving students courses they want, not
the section they request.
The machine also considers time con
flicts when choosing alternative sections
and courses and even traveling time
between east and city campuses.
"Early registration is one of the better
operating systems in the nation," Schkade
said.
