relatively weaker than the others,
but the remaining four (chlor-
promazine, proclorperazine, tri-
fiupromazine, and perphenazine)
were not different from each other
in therapeutic effectiveness.
All five drugs were superior to
a control substance (phenobarbi-
tal).aais which they were
tested.
Showed Improvement
Improvement of severely ill
mental patients in the 34-hospital
study included alleviation of emo-
tional and thinking disturbances
as well as generally improved be-.
havior, Specifically, patients be-
came less resistive and belligerent
and their thinking became less
disorganized.
These changes were reflected in
discharges from the hospitals and
in a decrease in the amount of
nursing care required.
The study was considered par-
ticularly effective since the 34 hos-
pitals involved had a mental pa-
tient population running into the
thousands. At Ann Arbor and
Battle Creek alone more than 2,000
mental patients are currently hos-
pitalized.
Safety Demonstrated
The safety of the drugs was
demonstrated by the fact that al-
though more than 600 patients
were included in the study, the
occurrence of allergic reactions,
drowsiness, and other such com-
plications was neither frequent
nor troublesome.
The five different tranquilizers
and phenobarbital were, adminis-
tered during the latter part of
1958 to a total of 640 schizophrenic
patients in the 34 cooperating hos-
pitals over a period of ,12 weeks.
Clinical teams made three sepa-
rate evaluations, one at the be-

ginning, another after one month,
and a third at the end of the
treatment period.
The study was directed by the
VA central neuropsychiatric re-
search laboratory at Perry Point,
Md.

Leaders of five national and
regional organizations in speech
and related fields are among those

Sponsored by the speech depart-
ment and the Summer Session, the
conference will attract about 200
high school and college speech
teachers, University students and

be "Progress in Educational Broad-
casting."
The East Conference Room will
be the scene of the meeting on
interpretation. Magdalene Kramer,
chairman of the speech depart-
ment, of Teachers College, Colum-
bia University, will speak on "Oral
Interpretation of 'Literature: A
Practical As Well As a Cultural
Subject."
"Compressibility of Speech" will

tion on speech science in the Am-
phitheatre. Speaker will be Grant

Cautionls
Eductors
Some highly talented high school
students may avoid advanced
courses for fear of lowering their
grade averages, a college placement
expert said Thursday at the Uni-
versity.
George Hanford, vice-president
of the College Entrance Examina-
tion Board (CEEB), said these stu-
dents fear that their chance of
getting into college may be jeopar-
dized if their grade average isn't
high, enough.
"Ways must be found to elimi-
nate this waste of talent," he de-
clared. "College admissions officers
and faculties must not become ob-
sessed with grades in contrast to
what the student has actually ac-
complished (in taking advanced
courses in high school)."
Hanford said high schools today
are giving greater emphasis to
college preparation and to subject
matter in teaching. But he urged
that this "natural swing" should
not be given too great a push by
those favoring changes along these
lines.
