The University's Fresh Air Camp
offers students of psychology, so-
ciology, social work and educa-
tion unique opportunities for prac-
tical training in their fields, ac-
cording to Prof. William C. Morse,
director of the camp.
The Camp is for emotionally dis-
turbed children-the socially mal-
adjusted and the delinquent child.
In recent years, the number of
boys was cut from 90 to 70.
"We found that 90 campers were
too much. The children today seem
too much more disturbed, and it
is all we can do to stop the fights
that break out now," Prof. Morse
said.
Students Compose Staff
The staff of the camp is made
up of 50 students, both men and
women, who are interested in clin-
ical work in their fields. Prospect-
ive counselors apply from all parts
of the country, according to Prof.
Morse.
"We were given a training grant
by the United States Public Health
Service," said Prof. Morse. "This
grant allows us to pay 30 of the
50 counselors at the camp," he
continued, "but the amount of
money varies from year to year de-
pending on how much we have to
pay for staff members.
Aiding counselor-students are an
academic staff of six, a psycholo-
gist and a physician. According to
Prof. Elton B. McNeil, the Camp's
psychologist the counselors are
warned about the rigorous life of
camping with maladjusted chil-
dren.
Groups Assigned
The counselors are assigned to
groups of about eight children and
work with them in their camping
activities besides attending classes
in psychology at the camp.
The campers, from seven to 14
years old, come to the camp from
institutional placement groups, de-
tention homes for delinquent chil-
dren, social agencies, and mental
hospitals. Friends and family of
of the children pay for as much of
the child's upkeep as possible, but
additional funds are necessary.
These come for the most part
from the University and from the
institutions which send the chil-
dren to the camp. "University stu-
dents also raised $5,000. with their
tag days," Prof. Morse said.
Fraternities and sororities also
aid the camp with "help week,"
when their pledges come to paint
and clean the buildings and equip-
ment.
No Horseback Riding
The activities at the camp area
the same as those at other camps,
Prof. Morse added, except that it
does not have horseback riding
"because we cannot afford it," and
no rifle or archery ranges "for ob-
vious reasons."
" We do not threaten, punish
or moralize," Prof. McNeil said.
"The goal of the camp is to un-
derstand the child and the roots
of his behavior which might, if not
prevented, lead to confinement in
correctional and mental institu-I
tions."
"All the campers are aware why
they are here," Prof. Morse said.
CAMP ACTIVITY-The fishermen above are typical of the emotionally disturbed children at the
Fresh Air Camp. Most of the activities normal children take part in at other camps are offered here.
There are no rifle or archery ranges for fear of what may happen when a disturbed child has access
to such weapons. The Camp encourages group planning of overnight trips and other activities by the
campers as part of group living. During the seven and one-half weeks of camp, the youngsters are
kept under diagnostic observation by psychiatrists, pediatricians, psychologists, social workers and
sociologists.

Departments
Iowa State College has com-
bined its philosophy department
and history and government de-
partment into a single depart-
ment, according. to Prof. Roy E.
LeMoine, former head of the De-
partment of Philosophy.
Prof. LeMoine felt that the de-
partment of philosophy, which
offers 15 courses and is good for
a minor only, was not large
enough to constitute its own de-
pa~rtment.,
bISTURBED CAMPER-Prof. William C. Morse, Director of the
University's Fresh Air Camp, "talks things out" with one of the'
campers. Care is taken that children are protected from traumatic
or non-clinical handling by any camp personnel. The Camp's staff
feels that great progress has been made when one of the boys
will tell what is on his mind, and what his feelings are.
