THE MICWIGAN DAILY Polio Victims May Become Addicted To Mechanical Breathing Apparatus :;; .>: { '< < 8:z ">: :t {r .ti:. z >?? _ j }.. t :i"Y r'': : ". - .' Y { :::?;{. Polio patients confined to a respirator tank may become ad- dicted to the apparatus, accord- ing to polio specialists Dr. James L. Wilson and Dr. David G. Dick- inson of the University Respirator Center. Dr. Wilson pointed out that all but a few victims of respiratory paralysis can be freed from the tank respirator, except for brief periods. "Prisoners" The specialist calls patients who have come to depend on an iron lung "prisoners." Most patients with respiratory paralysis who have survived the first two weeks of polio, can be freed from the tank within a few months, he said. Liberation from an Iron lung does not mean a patient is com- pletely free from all mechanical aids to respiration. Dr. Wilson re- ports that some patients sleep in a lung at night, others are shifted over to portable chest respirators or rocking beds. r A Afraid To Leave HEST RESPIRATOR: No longer a "prisoner" of an iron lung this poliomyelitis patient breathes ith the aid of a plastic chest respirator. .f 0 YU'7C Q Utt)oA=Zmo<=t=mom omo X THlE FINE ST IN FOO01WE AR A complete selection of baby's, children's and S women'sshoes made by manufacturers famous for quality.

Hall, pro- fessor emeritus of the dental school, died Sunday night at her home after a two months' illness. Dr. Wilson feels, that, for the most part, patients become afraid of leaving the tank thinking they won't be able to breathe. Both doctors observed that "Many patients have given up real hope and have retreated to a life almost of infantalism where they have no great desire to get out of the....pachine. " The University Respirator Cen- ter has been in operation for three years with a minimum ca- pacity at one time of 20 pa- tients. Since its opening more than 80 patients have been dis- charged. College Stu d Of Language Reeaie S I Something is being done to help high school students who want to continue their foreign language stuc'y in college without repeating courses, according to Prof. Otto G. Graf of the German depart- ment. This is because a special state- wide committee is being estib- lished through Prof. Graf's ef- forts, to set a single standard of proficiency throughout the state. The committee will reexamine class methods of instruction and teaching materials as well as de- vise tests which will be accepted state-wide, he declares. Aim To Improve "It's discouraging to a student to find himself forced to repeat work he's already had in high school, or another college," Prof. Graf remarked, "and it is our aim to eliminate the hit and miss, methods of testing students be- fare placing them in courses."

He is chairman of the University Committee on Language Instruc- tion. "Languages will have to be moved out of the stepchild cate- gory in schools in order to make them as important as the world situation today requires," he says. Enrollment Increasing But. "we're over the hump," he adds. Language enrollment is in- creasing in elementary and high school and more college students elect a language as their major. Even the fact that some schools put languages on an elective ba- sis should not be discouraging, he points out. "This is a challenge to the teachers to make their of- ferings worthwhile, to improve the quality of their teaching to at- tract students." "Here at the University," he declares, "we feel that a knowl- edge of foreign languages is a necessary part of education." The University has recently changed its language graduation requirements 'by testing on the basis of proficiency rather than "numbei of years studied. All en- tering students will take an exam which, if they pass, will be count- ed as satisfying their language graduation requirement. If they fail they will have the opportu- nity to take further language- work in college, taking the test again any time they feel they are ready for it.
