would come to understand that
the child’s refusal to eat had its
basis in his relationship with his
parents. They could suggest that
the child engage in some activity
that would separate him from
his parents for periods of the day

play therapist would step in to
keep him occupied and away
from Mom and Dad. At the

Associate Editor
Claude Cellier, 21, of Lyon,
France, has joined the French
House of Salem College for a
semester of work-study. Gradua
ted from the University of Lyon
where she majored in English,
Claude came to the United
States last summer on an ex
change program sponsored by
the Amity Institute of Del Mar,
California. Under the terms of
the program Claude is given free
room and board, courses of
instruction, and a small al
lowance in exchange for teach
ing French on a tutorial basis to
American students. Her duty at
Salem is the supervision of
French conversation at the
French House, located in the
Academy.

through the eastern countries
was much safer, she felt, than
hitch-hiking around western Eu

summer! Claude’s main ambition
is to visit the great American
Southwest before her visa runs
out in August.

courage ping-pong or bumper
pool, instead of Gin Rummy,
Parchesi or some passive game.
Doctors and nurses on this case
would be involved as consultants
and coordinators so that the
“total child” would be cared for.
In addition to her love of
travel, Claude is an outdoor per
son whose interests include hi
king, gardening, and most of all,
skiing. Guitar is a side attraction.
Claude was a high school ex
change student in Des Moines,
Iowa for the year 1969-1970.
Before coming to Salem this se
mester, she worked and studied
at the University of Minnesota in

English.
Since .a child’s education can
not just cease during his hospi
talization (as much as he might
want to forget school work), the
Chapel Hill City Schools employ
teachers to work within the hos
pital. These teachers stay in
touch with the child’s home
town teachers and try to con
tinue with the work his class is
doing at home. The hometown
teacher may send books, lessons
plans, etc. to help the hospital
teacher, and when the child is

When asked what she liked
to do most, Claude emphatically
replied, “Travel and meet peo
ple.” Before coming to the U.S.

children, we gave a Parents’

chips the worried parents could
get together and compare notes
