Director, Pettigrew Regional Library
Local Student Among ECU Interpreters
' hoots l- - .-:--:y,:ury:':
BEING CONSULTED - A great compliment has been
paid to the Pettigrew Regional Library and its Board of
.Trustees. When librarians from three county libraries went
to the State Library to help with putting together a new
regional library, they were referred to this region for
! advice. : -
; Because of our recent enlargement from a three-county
to a four-county system, ours is the most current Regional
.Agreement and one of the very few. which follow the
'.guidelines spelled out in the state law which created
;"public authorities."
Last week brought another instance of a flattering re
quest for advice. The Film Service of the State Library pro
vides a wide range of films that can be borrowed by public
libraries. The task of choosing films for purchase, given
.dwindling funds and ever-increasing variety on the .
market, is an exceedingly difficult one. So an Advisory
Committee to assist in film selection has been appointed
;and the Pettigrew Region was included.
' Since their first meeting coincides with our Staff
Meeting, Mary Eileen Bieler has been delegated to repre
sent us (at State expense, I hastened to add). Her ex
perience as Children's Coordinator for the region has given
her invaluable exposure to films and audience reactions so
;her recommendations should be good ones.
SCREECHES
. BEING CHALLENGED - A topic of perennial concern
Whenever public librarians get together is the method of
distribution for State Aid to Public Libraries. To put it in
elegantly, how to divide the pot is the problem. Since state
;money is designated to supplement rather than replace
local funding, a complicated system of incentive rewards is
presently followed which fails to please anyone and is ut
terly confusing to most everyone. Like the income tax
regulations, efforts to simplify or to improve succeed only
in further complications.
;', The State Librarian, David. McKay, has issued a
Challenge to the directors of every public library system in
the state. Instead of just fussing about the inequities in the
present method of distribution we are being invited to sub
mit a better plan. It remains to be seen if we are equal to
the challenge since, in essence, we are being told to "Put
;uporshutup."

i i EATING HABITS OF TODDLERS
Problem eating is common among toddlers. But here are
a few tips that might cut down on meal-time hassles. Think
L' small. Don't ?ive a child adult-sized portions. Small serv
sings that are eaten give a child a feeling of success. And he
' can always ask for more. ' ' '
$ Between meal snacks are needed too. Use them to sup
'plement daily food needs. Serve meals and snacks on a
$ regular schedule. Children like routine.
3' Meals should be a pleasant, comfortable time for
everyone. Constant bribing and coaxing to get children to
veat usually doesn't accomplish the desired end. It only
serves to produce tension and dislike for certain foods. .
GREENVILLE - One
Hertford student is among
the ten students at East
Carolina that have com
pleted their training to
become - classroom inter
preters for several deaf
students entering ECU this
fall.
After an intensive 10
week training program, the
student interpreters have
acquired the - speed and
necessary skills in sign
language and fingerspell
ing to interpret professors'
lectures in classes attended
by deaf students.
. Student interpreters are:
Ruby Felton of Hertford,
Wendy Gronert and Tony
Schreiber of Greenville,
Nancy DenBleyker of
MUlville, N. J., Ray Flanner
and Pam Davis of Winston
Salem, Dennis Hambrick of
Shelby, Cindy Lewis of
Washington, Karen Lewis
of McLean, Va., and Gail'
Tyson of Sarasota, Fla.
Interpreting and other
support services for the
deaf students are coor
dinated under the ECU Pro
gram for Hearing-Impaired
Students, the only campus
program of its type in the
state and one of the few in
the nation.

Studies
At Peace
RALEIGH Peace Col
lege opened its 106th
academic year with two
local students among the
more than 500 attending
classes at the junior college
for women.
Freshmen arrived on
campus Aug. 21 and were
joined by sophomores on
Aug. 22.
Freshmen were guests of
honor at the President's
Reception in Belk Hall
Monday night when they
were greeted by Peace
president Dr. S. David
Frazier and Mrs. Frazier;
Miss Janice Edwards, dean
of students; and Miss Leslie
Dark of Marion, president
of the Peace Student
Government Association.
The new students also had
the opportunity to meet the
faculty and staff during the
annual formal occasion.
Classes began Aug. 24
and Academic Convocation
officially opened the school
year Tuesday night. Presi
dent Frazier addressed the
260 freshmen gathered for
convocation in the historic
James Dinwiddie Chapel.
Dr. James N. Perry,
academic dean, and Miss
Virginia Vance of the music
faculty also participated in
the convocation service.
Among the students at
tending Peace this fall are
sophomores Mary Bryant,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Richard Bryant of Rt. 4,
Hertford; and Anne
Winslow, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Eldon Winslow of
102 Phelps St., Hertford.
Card
Club
Meets
students include not only
classroom interpreters, but
special tutorial sessions,
counseling and a note
taking service.
"A combination of
assigned reading,
assistance with note-taking
and manual communica
tion of class lectures should
enable a deaf or severely
hard-of-hearing student to
absorb all' course material
and eventually earn a
degree from ECU," said
Michael Ernest, director of
the program.
The Program for Hearing-Impaired
Students was
established this summer
and sponsored a series of
basic sign language classes
for interested faculty and
staff members. About 200
persons participated in the
classes. Similar instruction
will be repeated this year,
Ernest said.
The 10 interpreter
trainees took part in three
hours of study each
weekday during the sum
mer, and developed their
interpreting skills with the
use of films and actual
classroom interpreting
practice.
Even though the trainees
had considerable previous
experience in signing, they
were required to learn the
sign vocabularies of
college-level subjects, in
cluding scientific and
technical language and pro
fessional "jargon."
In addition to their train
ing, the interpreter trainees
met with several deaf per
sons and took two field
trips, one a weekend, of
group camping at Kill Devil

Hills when they were
allowed to use only manual
communication instead of
speech, and the other to
where they participated in
an informal pantomime
workshop with cast
members of the Little
Theatre of the Deaf.
Their final training
period involved reverse in
terpreting of films showing
deaf persons telling stories
in sign language,
v Ernest says he is pleased
with the high level of his
trainees' achievement and '
that he anticipated "good
results" as they begin to
use their skills in actual
operation of the program.
One full-time professional
Interpreter will be
employed, and all other in
terpreting will be done by
student trainees. :
ECU will probably be
able to furnish trained in
terpreters to the police,
local courts, hospitals and
other public agencies when
needed, he said. :
In late August, his office
sent six interpreters to
Winston-Salem to take the
N.C. Registry of Inter
preters for the Deaf Ex
amination, the standard
qualifying test for profes
sional interpreters Test
scores are not available
yet, but Ernest is confident
of a good showing.
Now, as the academic
year begins, most of the
deaf students, graduates of
special schools for the deaf,
will be living and learning f
with hearing persons for
the first time.
"I believe the hearing-,
impaired students will do 1 1
well here," Ernest said.C
"Response from the faculty,
and staff has been over-,
whelming and we have
received many indications 1
that ECU personnel will
cooperate with us and help
our deaf students feel
welcome and adjust quickly
to the 'hearing world.' " . ;
