Dr. Ann Wolfe, deput> du?ect^
of the State Department-'^of
Mental Health, said in Wilson
Friday that communities across
the slate are becoming more
acceptable to helping the
mentally retarded but noted
progress which has occurred has
affected only a small portion of
the population.
Referring to the story of
Hansel and Gretle being lost in
the forest after being abandoned
by their parents, Dr. Wolfe said
“this is the situation with
mentally retarded persons in
North Carolina.
“A great deal has occurred in
the way of increased public
awareness and concern' but
"we can take pride in certain
accomplishments, resting on our
laurels for only a moment.
"Progress is indeed a fact, but
from my observation it is not
significant enough to have any
measurable impact on but a
small portion of the total
population."
She said the mentally retarded
are like Hansel and Gretle —
wandering about the forest
afraid and unhappy, seeking
friends who will be concerned
and work to make a better life
for them, or, more important,
help them make a better life for
themselves.
Dr. Wolfe said “as we all
know, true mental retardation is
a life-long problem; at this point
in time there is no cure. The
needs of mentally retarded
persons, while they are basically
the same as yours and mine,
necessitate the marshalling of
various services into a delivery
system which is by no means
Washington, D. C.
The show consisted of prints
from the collection of workshops
in Washington and included
work by Lou Stovall, Sam
Gilliam, Lloyd McNiell,
Jonathan Meador, Paul Reed
and others.
In addition to the National
Endowment show, Irvine’s
prints have returned from a two-
year group traveling exhibition
throughout the state of
Maryland. The show of prints
were primarily Washington, D.
C. area printmakers which was
arranged by the Baltimore
Museum of Fine Arts and
sponsored by the Maryland Arts
Council.

Film Course Scheduled
In response to many student
requests, the English Depart
ment will offer a pilot course,
entitled Film Appreciation, this
spring semester. This course
will be given on Wednesday
evenings from 7:00 p.m. until
10:00 p.m.
Approximately ten films will
be shown and discussed. The
discussions will focus on the
various techniques used in the
development of the film as an art
form. In addition, slides of
movie stills will be used to
demonstrate these techniques.
The movies, slides, discussions,
3nd selected readings will be
used to point out those
categories which should be
sought when viewing a film. In
this way students should learn
what to look for when they see a
movie, and in turn they should
be able to distinguish between
how well or how poorly a film is
done.
Because the films have to be
rented, and because the rental
fees are less when the films are
shown only to a class than when
they are open to the public, will
be available only to those
students who register for the
course. This is a three hour
English course, and at this time
no limit has been placed on the
number of students allowed to
enroll in the course.
The first annual ACC Open
Volleyball Tournament has been
scheduled to begin on Wed
nesday, December 4. Other
playing dates will be December
5, 9, and 11. The tournament will
be held in the New Gym and will
be a double elimination event
with a trophy and individual
certificates to be awarded to the
winning team. Individual cer
tificates will also be awarded to
the members of the runner-up
team.
The tournament will be played
by regular Intramural rules with
the exception of a ten minute
time limit on each game, and
teams must have five members
present in order to play. The
officiating will be provided by
the Intramural Officials and
members of Mr. Parham’s
“Teaching and Coaching
Volleyball and Soccer’’ class.
This will be ACC’s first open
Volleyball tournament, so a good
response from the students is
necessary if this is to become an
annual event.
A handy entry blank is
published in this issue. This form
will also be published in next
weeks’ issue and in the Green
Slate for the next two weeks.
Completed entry blanks must be
submitted to the Intramural
Department no later than 5 p.m.
Tuesday, November 26. No late
entries will be accepted. If there
are any questions, contact
Jimmy Shepherd, tournament
director, at 237-8436 or Larry
Thompson at Ext. 322.

simple
“Services must begin, for both
client »nd family very early in
the life of the individual and
must extend throughout the
lifetime of that individual. A
multitude of agencies, each with
a specific service mandate,
must be mobilized to increase
their service capacity, as well as
build in the continuity necessary
to turn a service state of
fragmentation and isolation into
a network of services, well-knil
and comprehensive."
Dr. Wolfe added “we have
come a long way in our state in
the area of communities ac
cepting responsibility for a
greater segment of the retarded
population. Most everyone now
at least gives lip service to the
notion that institutionalization is
not necessary nor is it ap
propriate for many individuals
who years ago would have l)een
doomed to lifelong care."
She noted that while
professionals are becoming
more enlightened each day to
thinking of retarded persons as
being human beings with
problems — some of which are
remedial— there are still strong
elements of ignorance,
suspiciousness and prejudice
lingering around the various
nooks and carnnies of our state.
“Our past methods of treat
ment and service have been
guided by ignorance, sus
piciousness and prejudice”
and “the future hinges on the re
education of thousands of
citizens in our state so that they
will make appropriate
judgments or no judgments at
all," she continued.
Dr. Wolfe said “our most
important challenge will be what
we do with children who are
screened and evaluated. There
are now t(X) many children
labeled as handicapped for
whom there is very little beyond
the labeling process. We are
obligated to constructively
utilize the information obtained
through screening and
evaluation of children to provide
an effective selling point for
future legislative funding as well
as provide meaningful
remediation services.”
"If we come to the point where
we regard retarded persons as
valuable human beings then we
will have come to the point that,
in spite of the fact that their
problems may be different from
the general populations, that
their needs, desires, sensations,
likes, dislikes, rights are the
same as yours and mine, ” she
emphasized, adding:
"And many of us all over the
state have come to this
realization that has created a
situation that has taken some
retarded persons out of the
darkness and into the sunshine,
affording them opportunities for
growth and development that
was never possible before in our
state."
She also emphasized that "we
believe the responsibility for the
education of all children should
lie with the Department of
Public Instruction. However, I
for one am not going to sit
around and wait for this to
happen.”
Dr. Wolfe said there are 3,000
children in need of services and
even though the number of
centers has more than doubled
in recent years and are serving
