BadHearingCan
Retard IQ
By PAUL RECER
DALLAS, Tex. (AP) - A bright, receptive brain, cut off from
sound, has the utmost difficulty reaching its potential — if it ever
can.
This applies particularly to infants and children.
It is on these premises that hearing clinics throughout the na
tion operate, including the Cal-
lier Hearing and Speech Center
in Dallas.
Dr. Aram Glorig, director of
the Callier Center, in a recently
published research paper, said
that the lack of proper hearing
will retard the growth of intel
ligence in a child.
Dr. Glorig said that often a
hearing loss among the very
young can be detected and treated
or can be brought to normal with
hearing aids.
Trained hearing specialists,
called audiologists, can deter
mine to a fair degree of accuracy
the amount of hearing loss of
children down to six weeks.
Mrs. Louise Helton, audiolo-
gist at the Callier Center, said
the Pavlov technique of teaching
a specific response to stimuli
is used in establishing the hear
ing of a child.
Pavlov was the scientist who
fed his dog at the same time he
rang a bell. Soon he could make
the dog drool simply by ringing
the bell.
A room at the Callier Center
is wired to produce carefully
calibrated sounds.
On one wall is a red light
which can be switched to flash
when sounds are being trans
mitted into the room.
A child too young to speak or
understand requests is taught,
by repetition, that whenever a
sound is made in the room the
red light will flash.
Each time the child hears
sound, it will look toward the
light. The sounds are then de
creased until, when the child
can no longer hear the sounds, it
will stop looking at the light. In
this way its degree of hearing
can be measured.
Once a child’s amount of hear
ing loss is established the proper
hearing aid can be fitted.
Many parents oppose the idea
of a hearing aid for an infant.
Dr. Glorig said. They fear a
psychological effect on the child.
“But the psychological effect
from a hearing aid is far less
than from a loss of hearing,” he
said.
Mrs. Helton said that a child
is fitted with a hearing aid only
after several experts in the field
agree upon its need.
“If a child goes until he is 3
years old before he begins work
ing with full hearing, he has a
good chance of being three years
behind in language the rest of
his life,” she said.
Experiments in Sweden have
shown that the hearing capabili
ties of a child can be tested
even before birth. Dr. Glorig
said.
Sounds are introduced into the
mother’s abdominal cavity. By
measuring the child’s brain ac
tivities, using special instru
ments, it can be determined if
the unborn baby hears the sounds.

SHAW.ELIOT ANTHEM
LONDON (AP) - An anthem,
settog words of T.S. Eliot to
muMc by Dr. Martin Shaw, has
been edited for publication and
will get its first performance
with a London choir in March.
The American-born poet, who
died in London on Jan. 4 last
year, disliked having his verse
sung but made an exception for
Dr. Shaw in this case.
The anthem, for double choir
and organ, is called “The
Greater Light’’ and was com
posed for Liverpool Cathedral.
It was believed lost in World
War II bombing raids on the city
until Mrs. Shaw recently found
the original manuscript among
the composer’s papers.

It happened quietly last sem
ester. It wasn’t really anythir^
big. In fact only a few people
in orange knew about it until
it was all over. It was one of
those things that nobody wanted
to do but still couldn’t be
avoided. A few laughed, a few
muttered about the needless work
they would have to do, and few
cri^d*
To cry about having to move
out of a dorm. Sound silly
doesn’t it? Well perhaps it was
and perhaps they cried because
of the thought that they may never
be able to come back to Orange
again. So now you know that
unimportant thing that happened
two weeks ago. One of the
girls suites in Orange Hall had
to move out simply because it
had too.
The girls had tried every avail
able means to prevent their mov
ing but It could not be avoided.
The fact was that there were many
boys staying off campus who
need a room on campus. There
were no rooms on tho boys side
of campus but vacancies on the
womens side. The solution?
Move a suite of girls out of
Orange and move the boys that
were staying off campus in. It
was the only way to do it.
The girls moved out and the
boys moved in. There were no
hard feelings, only a few new
faces to meet and a few people
Lance Heplit's To Minnie Kelly
THE LANCE is printing “ A
Letter to the Student Body in
care of Nick Gordon through the
facilities of THE LANCE” ex
actly as it was received from
Miss Kelly. It has not been
edited in any way.
When you, the student body read
this letter, do you find yourself
agreeing with Miss Kelly? Pro
bably the answer is yes. She
has employed all the techniques
of the politicial to sway her
audience. She has written a
reply to a one column article,
which is entirely to long for any
daily newspaper let alone THE
LANCE; she has been guilty of
misquoting Mr. Gordon; she has
pictured the administration as an
abstract monster (somethingthat
she accused Mr, Gordon of doing);
and finally she gripes about the
content and quality of THE
LANCE yet this is the first con
tribution which she, an English
major, has made to this news
paper this year.
To dissect this letter is sense
less; however we on THE LANCE
staff would suggest that in the
future Miss Kelly read her school
newspaper thoroughly. In the
December 10, 1965 issue, on page
6, is a letter from Dr, Ansley
C. Moore giving the details and
reasons behind the rise in tui
tion fees. May we also sug
gest that Miss Kelly do some
thing more than gripe about the
efforts by THE LANCE, and get
the members of the Senate to
discuss controversial issues
openly in THE LANCE rather
than refusing to write a letter
to the editor for fear of los
ing their position in Student
Government.

to say goodbye to . The “bar
ricade” between the boys and
girls side was moved during
the semester break and Orange
Hall then had four boys suites,
three girls.
But under all of this hustle
and bustle there was a diffe
rent feeling. No, not a feel
ing of resentment among us to
ward our new dorm members
but many of us including my
self believe that the departure
of the girls signals the beginn
ing of the end of the co-ed
system in Orange Hall,
It is a fact that the new gym
(will it ever come?) will lure
more boys to St. Andrews and
there will be more space for
them. Making Orange an all
boys dorm will help this situa
tion but it will also destroy the
seed of a tradition. Orange is
one of only a few co-ed dorms
in North Carolina and It will be
sad to see It have to change.
When Orange was made co-ed,
it was done as an experiment
to see If it’s living conditions
would help or hender academic
life. When the results were
tabulated it was found that a co
ed dorm neither helped or de
terred the grades of the people
in Orange. But one signifi
cant thing was discovered, people
liked Orange! There was a cer
tain feeling, aclosenessperhaps,
that I’m sure is not in any other
dorm,
’’what! You live in a co
ed dorm? Let me see it,” or
you might hear "Ah, you are
one of the lucky ones, you get
to live in Orange.” These are
some of the remarks you hear
every year from new students.
But will these remarks become
“Hey, that used to be a co-ed
dorm” be heard soon? I hope
not, I hope that St. Andrews
will be able to hold on to this,
one of its traditions. And it is
a tradition, you know.

on Tuesday, February 22, at
the student body meeting among
the items of business on the a.
genda will be the hearing of sug.
gestions as to the nature of the
“McKinnon Morgan Memorial
Scholarship." As you know, this
scholarship fund was set up on
behalf of the students of St.
Andrews in memory of Mac Mor
gan.
To facilitate discussion and
provide a context for meaning
suggestions, I shall briefly out.
line the type of funds, scho|jf
ships, and memorial scholar,
ships as set up by our develop,
ment office. There are 2 genial
•areas under consideration. The
first is the criteria for awarcfc
the scholarship; i.e., the qua^
cations toat a student must meet
in order to receive the scholar,
ship. In this area there ar|at
least two categories to be cotfi.
dered: 1) academic excellence
2) financial need, j
The second area under coi§i.
deration centers specifically up.
on the type of scholarship, with,
in this area there are also two
broad categories, the first being
a loan and the second, a grut
Briefly, the nature of a loan
would be as follows; the college
would loan the entire suni of
the fund to a student in a given
year to be paid back at a cer.
tain interest rate over a given
period of time. When the fund
is repaid in full, the coll^
would then loan the entire sum
to another student under identical
stipulations. The disadvant^
in this system must be men.
tioned. There are so many gov.
ernment loans that'the-e lp| a
tendency for more modest lews
to become engulfed, and the:
by lose some of their orig:
meaning.
The second type of scholi
ship is the grant, under whiciT
there are two categories. These
categories have been designai
as Memorial Funds and Memori
Scholarships. A fUnd rangifc
from $250 . $2499 Is a Mem.
orial Fund, and any kind of
$2500 or more is a Memorial i
Scholarship. In the latter ty^
the Interest on the $2500, whitf
has become a part of the larg^
endowment of St. Andrews, would
be awarded to a deserving sti
dent who would then be kno'
in this case, as the "McKinni
Morgen Scholar”. The advi
tage in this type of scholarship
is that it provides for a greater
degree of perpetuity for the o.
riginal meaning of the memori.
al fund,
I encourage you to come to tl
student body meeting with appn
priate suggestions. We, as sti
dents, must select the plan which
affords a fitting opportunity to
accomplish our purpose - to do
that' which Mac Morgen did so
well among us, help our fellow
students.
