Three prizes will be awarded, amounting to $175. $100 will go to the winner of first place, $50 to second place and $25 to the third place winner. Gulantics was founded by Prof. Philip A. Duey, director of the Men's Glee Club, "to give students an opportunity to exhibit their talent." A contest was held the first year to determine a name for the pro- duction. The winner used "G" for Glee Club, "U" for Union, "L" for League and added "antics" to form "Gulantics." Union Plans For Activities This Spring Open Houses, Dances Included in Calendar Of Semester's Events While construction workers put finishing touches on the new ad- dition, Union officials are adding theirs to the agenda of Spring 1956. The last final exam meant the1 end of work for most University students, but it was only the be- ginning for Union men in charget of the Student Book Exchange,i functioning for the first time as a Union prdject. Located in the still unfinished portion of the new wing, SBX has its usual collection of books, priced as always by former student own- ers. Events Planned Although many of the Union's plans still hinge upon completion of the construction, Bob Blossey,1 executive Secretary remarked that a tentative schedule, with other projects iin the making has been drawn up- "Perhaps our biggest event will be the Open House," Blossey add- ed. Sponsored by the student ser- vices committee, the Open House, will be held Feb. 25. A dog show, Michifish routines,1 and displays from various organi-1 zations will be featured. Several tournaments and contests will also1 be held., Union dancing, bowling, pool- room and swimming facilities will be open tomen and coeds free of charge. Little Club Continues Little Club fans will again be able to enjoy dance entertainment in a night club atmosphere. Almost every Friday night will1 find a room with small tables, flickering candles, and dance mu- sic provided by a well-known cam- pus orchestra, available as a "night spot" for coeds and their dates. Sunday night record dances will continue in the usual style with several Rainbow Rendezvous hav- ing been planned for the new se- mester. Planned for later in the semes- ter is a Leadership Training Course designed to give campus leaders the benefit of leadership training techniques. The talk will be conducted by a member of the psychology depart- ment and may be extended to a week's course "if enough enthus-i iasm is shown." Campus Tours University Day, when high school students are given a tour of the University campus and Michigan Day, a similar affair for members of junior colleges are also on the agenda. Such traditions as Hatcher Open, Houses and the Student-Faculty coffee hours will continue as in previous years. The opening of the new snack bar will provide an ultra-modern social gathering spot. According to Blossey, the Union is going to hold a Name-The-Snack-Bar-Con- test, with a prize in the form of a $100 tuition Scholarship. Snack Bar Dances Also in the making is the idea of holding free dances in the Snack Bar on Friday afternoons. Another future possibility is an evening of informal discussion, which might be held every other week. A special topic would be presented and then left open to anyone who wanted to enter the discussion. "What we're doing all the time," Blossey declared, "is evaluating our present projects and analyzing future possibilities with the ulti- mate aim of serving campus bet- ter." (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the second in a series of articles dealing with Speech Clinic activities.) By ROSE PERLBERG Next week a course with classes that no one wants to "cut" and work that is never found too bur- densome will begin at the Univer- sity. Those enrolled are dysphasics, people who have lost the functions of speech or understanding due to some injury to the brain. No. effort is too great if it can help them to regain these powers. The place where this rehabilita- tion occurs is the University Speech Clinic, a center for human adjustment. With facilities for 20 patients a semester, the dysphasia division holds two 12-week sessions a year and a 6-week summer ses- sion. Division Staff Irwin Brown has been in charge of the division since 1952. He and his assistant, Maryanna Bender make up the senior staff of the unit, which also includes 12 to 15 junior clinicians, a physical thera- pist and ordinarily a trained social worker and physician. The slim speech specialist puffed on his pipe and described how the clinic selects its patients. "Sources of referrals include the University hospital, self referrals, patients recommended by the State Office of Vocational Rehabilita- tion, and those sent by private physicians and other medical agencies Brown began. "But everyone who wants to come to the clinic gets an exami- nation," he added. "We have cer- tain standards for selection and we keep a waiting list." Most Are Stroke Cases The senior clinician remarked that most cases his division treats are stroke victims who have suf- fered a blood clot in the brain. That injury is usually accompanied by some form of paralysis varying in its severity but most often af- fecting the right side of a person if he is right-handed. Many patients receive therapy at the clinic for two or more ses- sions because "we try to take a patient as far as he can go before we dismiss him and accept a new applicant." The curriculum a dysphasic follows daily at the clinic is simi- lar to a University student's day. As an illustration of what it ac- complishes and methods employed, Brown related the case history of a former patient. "Although this case concerns a factory worker," the clinician remarked, "many of' our patients are business and pro- fessional people." Case of Mr. A. Born in 1928, Mr. A, is married and has two children. He had for- mal schooling up to the seventh grade, served in the army and was employed in a factory at the time he suffered a stroke. Taken to a veteran's hospital, Mr. A. was found to have complete paralysis of the right arm and leg and severe expressive dyspha- sia. "When we examined him at the clinic," Brown recalled, "Mr. A. showed great difficulty in formu- lating words for oral communica- tion. He spoke in word units but very slowly, with many long paus- es." Dysphasic Symitoms "He was able to recognize ob- jects, but had trouble with reading comprehension," specialist contin- ued, "and while he could repeat words he ommitted sounds. He could write his name, but nothing else, and do simple arithmetic problems but no equally simple applied problems" Mr. A. attended classes in the speech clinic from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. Conducted by junior clinic- ians, usually graduate speech cor- rection majors and upper seniors, the classes involved reading, writ- ing, speech and numbers compre- hension as well as physical ther-t apy. "In his 8 a.m. reading class, Mr. A. needed special help in rec- ognizing small words like, 'in', 'to', 'the', or 'is,' " Brown said. "As the session progressed he showed improvement in both of these areas." At 9 a.m. he received physical therapy treatments to improve his posture and gait and gain strength and coordination in his paralyzed arm. The next hour reserved daily for a coffee break, served as a time for recreation, relaxation and group therapy. Mr. A. would join his fellow patients and practice his speech at a social level. Mr. A's increasing sense of re- sponsibility and his relaxation in social relationships became evident during the coffee hours as the semester progressed. His writing class at 11 a.m. em- phasized development of a larger writing vocabulary and asociating names and sounds of letters with the written symbols. Improvement at End "By the end of the session he was able to write most simple three or four word sentences easily from dictation," Brown remarked. "Although he still needed assist- ance with more complicated words." Improvement was also noted in the fluency and legibility of Mr. A.'s left-handed script. "But perhaps his greatest gains in that class was his ability to compose his own written material and the desire to write letters and post cards home, the clinician added. Further social adjustment was sought in a singing class after lunch, designed to aid Mr. A. in his articulation and reading. Speech Class His last class of the day was speech where he received special attention in sentence construction and was encouraged to relax while speaking under social stress. "As time passed," Brown con- tinued, "Mr. A. made excellent improvement in his ability to par- ticipate in, class discussions. While Mr. A. yas a patient at the the clinic, his wife was seen frequently by the staff social worker,' who helped her work out various family problems incurred by the illness. Mrs. A. was also given instruc- tion in home care which would provide continuity in therapy while her husband was home dur- ing weekends and between classes at the clinic. "We treated Mr. A. for two ses- sions," Brown said with a smile, "and when he came back to visit us two years after he was released, we were glad to see that his speech and walk had improved consider. ably and happier to hear that he was gainfully employed at the factory where he had worked prior to his illness." Buro-Cat Women To Hold Meeting Combination mass meeting and party is being planned by the Buro-Cat organization from 7 to 9:3 p.m. today in the League. Coeds . interested in joining Buro-Cats may do so at the mass meeting. Olti members will also hand In their class schedules and sign up to work at this time. Evening's entertainment will in- clude a humorous skit, written and presented by members of the organization. This skit will explain the various Buro-Cat committees and their activities. Refreshments will also be served. 4 ADJUSTMENT CENTER: University Speech.

Sales, Manufacturing, Quality Control, Field Erection, Service, Research, De- velopment and Design have Engineers both as their key men and as those who will become key men. Because of the nature of the company, its integrated products, services and activities, the progress of the in- dividual is not restricted to a special phase of engineer- ing work. This unique approach means that as a part of B&W you will be doing what's best for you as well as for the company. B&W activities are so broad in scope that there is much to choose from-much to give you the opportunity to make sure that what you're doing is the "right fit." To give you further details on what the future holds for you at B&W, we have prepared a 16-page book with detailed training plan, called "Opportunities With Babcock & Wilcox." We'd like you to have a copy just merely by writing The Babcock & Wilcox Company, Student Training Department, 161 East 42nd Street, New York 17, N. Y. and asking for "Opportunities."
