Jo Silence Child's Tormentors
When Lori Nelson blew out!
the candles on her fourth
birthday cake recently, it
seemed that every young
ster her age in Rosalie, Neb.,
turned but for her party.
Only a few months before,
the remarkably pretty child
had been the butt of taunts and
giggles from these same chil
ren. Lori was born with a rare
birthmark—a thick, unsightly
covering of hair extending from
her right shoulder to mid-fore
arm. Instead of finding play
mates among the other boys
Ifmd girls, all she ever encoun
tered were finger-pointers and
name-callers.
4 Lori found these gibes, when
“scarcely out of infancy and the
crib, more than any sensitive
child could endure. So did her
parents, Marlene and Chester
Nelson, an attractive farming
couple, who for almost three
years searched unsuccessfully
for a medical answer to the
problem. -
Brother Also Heartsick
Also heartsick was David, 6,
Lori’s brother, who more than
once came home with a black
eye because he fought all the
heartless kids in town who
poked fun at his “hairy” sister.
“Chester and I were almost
out of our minds with this ter
rible affliction,” the mother ex
plained. “Lori, a frightened and
confused little girl, withdrew
into a shell. The present pic
ture was painful enough, but
my husband and I looked with
dread into the future when our
pretty child, like any young
woman, would want to go to
dances and have dates and fun
4 and, in time, a husband and
“family.
“No one gave us any reason
for hope. Then I read some
place that the March of Dimes
was planning a birth defects
center in Omaha. We were wait
ing at the door when it opened
a year and a half ago.”
The center, supported by
March of Dimes contributions
from chapters throughout Ne
braska, is at Children’s Memo
rial Hospital and is directed by
Dr. Theodore R. Pfundt. chair
man of the pediatrics depart
ment of Creighton University
School of Medicine. It is one of
48 such centers across the na
tion. V
*Dr. Pfundt consulted with Dr.
Lori Nelson, 4, after disfiguring hairy birthmark on right arm was
removed. She's visiting with her surgeon, Dr. Albert S. Black, at
March of Dimes Birth Defects Center, Children's Memorial Hospital,
Omaha, Nebr. >
Albert S. Black, a noted Omaha'
cosnjetic surgeon, who is a
“team member” of the March
of Dimes-supported center and
an associate professor of sur
gery at the University of Ne
braska Medical School. He saw
no reason for despair.
Lori underwent four surgical
procedures by Dr. Black. He
removed the hairy surface of
the right arm which was then
replaced by grafts of skin from
her right thigh.
Lori Now Carefree
“Essentially what we did,”
Dr. Black explains, “was to ex
cise the cause of Lori’s fears
and torments, and restore a
whole little girl to the carefree
world of children. The arm is
still rather scarred, inevitably.
But later on by high-speed
planing and tattooing, the arm
will be normal in appearance
—and by the time she is in high
school Lori will have difficulty
remembering which arm ex
hibited this perverse quirk of
nature.”
Mrs. Nelson was selected as
the Nebraska March of Dimes
Mother for 1963. She and her
husband have forgotten their
fears about persuading their
daughter to go to kindergarten.
They confide that next suin
mer, as a reward for her pluck,
Lori may be riding around
the farm aboard a Shetland
pony.
Brevard College Complimented
By “State”Magazine, Raleigh
A recent write-up in “The
State” magazine rated Brevard
College as one of the fine
chur h - related colleges in
North Carolina.
In discussing the college’s
program, the writer stated:
“Brevard Co!Ie"e ey'rt« f"r
rhe purpose of providing a
two-year academic prog-, am
primarily designed and admin
istered for the qualified stu
dent who would benefit by a
guided transition from high
school work into college work,
enabling him to continue his
studies more effectively in a
four-year college."
The article pointed out that,
unlike many two-year “commu
nity” colleges which offer a
wide variety of courses, many of
which lead to almost imme':'i0t<,
employment, the Brevard Col
lege curriculum is basically what
would be found the first two
years in any good four-year col
lege of liberal arts. It is design
ed to meet the transfer require
ments set by four-year colleges
•>nd universities, to which at
least 85% of all Brevard stu
dents transfer.
To emphasize the value of
the junior college program, it
was noted that four-year col
leges not only admit, but wel
come, transfer students. Arn
old L. Goren, assistant dean
of admissions for New York
University was quoted as say
ing, “It is our opinion that the
transfer student is often a bet
ter academic risk than the
freshman and that he brings
to the university a better un
derstanding of what college
work requires.”
The author was high in his
praise of the beautiful “Land of
Waterfalls” and the town of Bre
vard in which the college is lo
afed. He felt that the scenic
'fractions available would make
ttending college in this area
ppeal to the aesthetic senses of
tudents.
He further noted that, in addi
;on to the present adequate and
"mctio-nal physical plant, the
college’s building program, part

In .conclusion, Brevard Col
lege's rl?n for education was
summed up thusly:
“Ccmmitted to Christian con
cepts, it is dedicated to a way
of life that instills in the stu
dent ... a greater desire to
become a more responsible
and creative member of soci
ety . . . Any college, whatever
its kind, does not have a right
to exist unless it seeks to pro
vide advanced education of
superior worth and quality.
Brevard, as a church-related
ccliege, is concerned with
moral and spiritual values.
And this is most important as
higher education seems to be
come more and more secu
larized."
